Will do :mug:

I appreciate it, but I pretty much just brew my stuff and just vary some hops types and small changes in mash temps depending on the time of year. I do enjoy discovering new hops. Mosaic is a new favorite of mine and I mainly just like keeping a killer IPA on tap at all times.

Well you actually do come across as a little snarky. I wasn't aware of any free calculator. If I had known about it I would have used it. I just brew in my garage every couple of months for the past 10 years and was asking for a little help. I'm no brew master and need no help with what I drink...

I don't have brewing software, that's why I am asking for a little help. I only brew about 5 different beers, mostly IPA's and I know exactly what I want, but this one is a beer I make for my wife for the holidays and she asked me to juice it up.

Yeah, I know that. I was asking how much to get in that 6.5 to 7.0 range. FloppyKnockers, oh yeah, I add a cup of bourbon and a pair of toasted oak spirals to each 5 gallon keg

What about corn sugar? I do want to dry it out some and lighten the mouth feel. If so, how much? And I was thinking about some brown sugar

I've got this bourbon oak red ale I brew and it's about 5.0 to 5.4 % and I'd like to raise it to about 6.5 to 7.0% and could use a little help. I'm posting the grain bill and hop schedule. Keep in mind I want to keep the present color. Thanks to anyone with some help. 10 gallon batch 18 lbs...

I am planning to add some hops to the 60 min addition. Probably going to add a lb or two of 2 row malt and maybe 1.5 lbs sugar.

Thanks guys, I have a good idea what I will do.

That won't dry it out like corn sugar will it?

That sounds simple enough.

I make my wife a bourbon oak red ale for the holidays and I want to bump the ABV % up by about 1.5%-2.0% I'll list the grain bill and hop schedule. A little help would be great! 10 Gallon 18.0 lbs 2 row 2.0 lbs British crystal 1.0 US Crystal 40 2.66 oz chocolate malt (74 grams) 1.32 oz...

Oh yeah, not to mention the bottled beer doesn't come close in taste. I honestly would not brew if I had to bottle it. I brew about 20 gallons every 6 weeks (10 gallons each batch) and that's enough work between the mashing, sparging, cleaning, kegging, etc...

Excellent point^

I've used the Bravo several times in combination with others, but it's a bit hard to tell since it was a mix. Since it's a higher coho hop I used it sparingly. I would say it was bit more earthy, but still fruity, not quite as harsh as some other high coho hops. I dry hop with 4 ozs in IPA's and...

Nice. What does a bottle of the Knob Creek cost? I've been using Jim Beam, might want to try something different.

I don't see that being a problem.

I use 3 ozs medium toasted cubes or about 3 ozs oak spirals (2 spirals) Anybody here ever used a little cedar?

I completely agree with what these guys are saying^^ I stopped using a secondary last year and will never do it again unless with a lager. The beer is actually a little better or cleaner tasting. I guess because racking introduces a little oxygen to the beer. I even give my kegs a nice blast of...

I like the whiskey soaking idea. I make a bourbon oak red ale, but I just add 5 shots of Jim Beam to the keg before I rack into it.
