    IPA Hop Timing Methods

    Since my first day of homebrewing, I have been experimenting with achieving maximum hop flavor and aroma in IPAs. Over time, I noticed that some of the delicate, aromatic hop oils might be boiling off if the hops were added to the boil, or even if added to very hot, non-boiling wort. I also...

    Tube balloons for chilling wort

    Might not appeal to everyone, but for those without wort chillers, instead of ice to quick chill your wort, buy some cheap tube balloons, fill them, freeze them, and use to chill your wort. Round balloons are too large and take up too much space.

    Mashed Potatoes: The possibilities are endless

    Mashed Potatoes are a very filling and common choice as a side dish, yet very safe and predictable. It is difficult to mess them up... Potatoes, cooked in water, drained, and then mashed with butter, salt, and cream. But honestly, how boring does that sound? This thread is dedicated toward...

    Nugget Nectar is different year by year

    In the past 5 years, Troegs brewed one great version of this beer. It was heavy on the Columbus hops, dank, dry, highly drinkable. This years version seems to be quite fruity and the yeast esters pop more than the hops do. It's almost as if there were fermentation temperature issues with this...

    That feel when 5 gallons of IIPA now costs you $63

    Skipped a year of homebrewing and the prices for ingredients & shipping now seem ridiculous. Best place to shop to get all of these ingredients for cheaper? Base Malt 12-Lbs Caramalt 1-Lb White Wheat 1-Lb IBU Injector 10 ml Simcoe pellets (2014 season) 4 oz Amarillo pellets (2014...

    Aware me on ST 2XIPA hops

    What are the three hops used in Southern Tier 2XRye? Judging from taste, I sense Columbus, Summit, and Centennial. The hop profile is very similar to Green Flash Imperial IPA albeit more complex.

    Southern Tier

    I liked Southern Tier as a beer newbie, since they mostly produce sweeter, high gravity specialty brews. I've tried them all... Unearthly, Oaked Unearthly, Krampus, 2XIPA, etc.... Choklat being the only true standout for me today. Present Time... a good 3 years pass, and I haven't tasted an...

    Heady Topper Hop Bill

    A poll is as good a test as any to determine the hops that may (or may not be) in Heady Topper. Only 10 options were allowed so I entered the most discussed hops in prior threads. Please only vote if you have actually tasted this beer. Otherwise, posting in the comments is for everyone!

    American IPA Hops: Myrcene and Total Oil Content Chart

    I found a homemade chart from SumnerH's #3 post in this old thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/hop-substitution-venn-diagram-189041/ It referenced several different hops with their respective myrcene, humulene, and caryophellene levels. I updated the chart with the hops that I use...

    Twelfth Night IIPA

    I'm working on yet another hoppy beer recipe that I'm calling, Twelfth Night IIPA. Initially, I wasn't trying to be gimmicky, but the grist just worked out that way. 12's for all the grains, 12 oz. hops, 112 minute mash, 112 IBUs (Garetz), 12 day 3-stage dryhop, 12 day primary, 12 day secondary...

    The Quality of Beer Today: Why our Children will be Lucky

    I was just thinking about our little community here, and how most of our children will probably grow up to appreciate their parents' passion for good craft beer and homebrew way before beers they delve into crappy selections like Bud Light and Corona. That's awesome. I'm kind of jealous. I...

    Hop-Focus Directory for Popular Commercial Beers

    This thread is meant to be a directory of commercial beers brewed with multiple hops, but have one particular hop focus. The reason is so our community can have a better handle on whether they enjoy or dislike the use of the targeted hop in question. Single hop beers, like those from Mikkeller...

    Fringe!!!

    Are you a fan? Now in it's 5th season, I have been watching this show since the Pilot in 2008. Sadly, the series will conclude on January 18, 2013. No sixth season unless another network picks them up for new material. Fringe is an oddly entertaining show with a somewhat complex plot that has...

    If you could homebrew in ancient times...

    For the homebrewers... If you knew what you know now about brewing beer, have you ever thought about being transported back to an ancient time to see what it was like, what you could offer, to be a head brewer for an entire community without all of the financial/legal issues, or perhaps just...

    Understanding Credit Cards

    Help me to understand this scenario: You charge $200 between August 13, 2012 and September 13, 2012 with a payment due date of October 10, 2012. You pay $100 on the due date instead of making the minimum $15 payment and/or paying in full. You expect to have the remaining $100 paid in full...
