I have 3oz Warrior, 1oz Cascade, and 1oz Citra in the freezer and I want to use them all up. Will those hops contribute to a nice Barleywine? I was kicking around using this recipe but using the hops I have on hand. My thoughts were: 2 oz Warrior @ 60 .5 oz Warrior @ 20 1 oz Citra @...

I may try that. However I think I want a faint grape flavor. That's why I was trying to figure out what hop I was thinking of. Do you have any idea of a hop that give a grape flavor or aroma?

I have a buddy getting married in June. He once jokingly told me to brew a grape soda beer because he likes grape soda. Obviously that would be kind of gross. However, I recall reading about a hop that gave a grape like flavor. He likes hoppy beer so I was thinking of making him an IPA. Does...

I brewed Denny Conn's Robust Vanilla porter this weekend and it is currently fermenting away. I want to split this batch in 2 and add coffee to one half bourbon to the other. I have a couple questions about this: -Denny's recipe calls for 375mL of bourbon. That's 12.6 ounces. For my half...

Thanks for the input. I think I am determined to try out the IPA style with the pumpkin. Should I up the amount of pumpkin I use to get it to stand out more against the hops? Maybe I will even lower the IBU's a bit. Has anyone ever done an all Warrior brew that can advise me on whether I should...

I have been reading a few posts here and there and I have decided a Pumpkin IPA needs to be one of my next brews. I have a lot of warrior in the freezer and want a spicier hop so my current plan is to use all Warrior. My recipe is for a BIAB. 4 gallons boiled with 3 gallons into the...

On my first BIAB I had really bad efficiency. For my second attempt a couple weeks ago, I made sure that the crush was fine and I Mashed for 90 minutes instead of 60. I didn't sparge, I just raised the temp to 70 and removed the bag. Just crushing the grain fine and mashing for 90 minutes got my...

I have never heard of freezing the pineapple first, but it makes sense. I think that will be my new plan. Thanks.

I brewed a very simple American Wheat yesterday.Two pounds of two-row and 2 pounds of White Wheat equalled 3 gallons into the fermentor. I used US-05 saved from a previous batch. SG was 1.037. I am planning to secondary on 1 fresh pineapple after 2 weeks. I will peel, core and chunk it and am...

You probably could bottle it now and be fine. However, it will taste much better if you wait a couple more weeks before you do anything to it. My first two batches, I was excited and couldn't wait. They tasted fine after bottle conditioning but it took a few more weeks after first taste before I...

Bottle it. It is fine. And delicious.

Goose Island IPA Hop Devil by Victory

I had a bottle last night and I must say this is my best beer to date. The dark malts and the rye mix nicely with the citrusy hops. I was worried that it might have too much rye or too much hops, but neither ended up happening. The rye sits nicely at the back of everything and the hops are just...

I am in Indy in the Irvington area. I would love to help out if anything is needed. The more craft brews around here the better.
