    First time with Rye

    I was considering a dry hop with some left over centennial! We'll see if that gets done. Did you use a simliar % of Rye? How did it come through?

    US-05 and low ferm temp

    i've gotten peach before with US05, but it was setting around 60F maybe even a little less. That was measured beer temp tho.

    So what score in a contest would you consider disappointing?

    Yeah I'm just wondering if maybe I can't taste the flaws, if in fact they were there. Mine was also tasted 2ND last in the flight. I'm not saying the beer should be BOS, just curious as to if my beer is as good as I think lol

    So what score in a contest would you consider disappointing?

    that 68f is a measured 66F on a temp strip so i was figuring a few degrees above for actual beer temp. I know what buttered popcorn smells/tastes like, i've tasted un d-rested lagers and can pick it out as well. I was thinking that same thing about diacetyl for an IPA must be pretty...

    So what score in a contest would you consider disappointing?

    Just got sheets back from a local comp, my IPA that i love scored a measily 27. Comments said diacetyl present from both judges, watch fermentation temps, etc. Pitched rehydrated 05 and sat at 68F. Now i did rush this a little by getting it in the keg and carbed by day 16... I was a little...

    2014 Hop rhizome Swap

    +1 to the above. You do realize other places in the world have different climates. Frozen solid ground is hard to work with.

    Should I dry hop in 7.8 gallon bucket primary or 5 gallon glass carboy secondary?

    i use buckets as well. I just open them up, drop in pellets/whole and leave it be until i'm ready to bottle/keg. No oxidation issues or infection issues to date

    What makes a great American Wheat

    I usually do a similar grain bill as above. Shoot for around 20-25 IBU, with cascade or cent thrown in around 15 min mark. .5 oz of some nice aroma hop at 15, then bitter up to 20-25IBU's with the hallertau

    Bad Seal on Fermentor Lid for 3 days, should I worry?

    no reason to worry at all. I've started fermentation in my boil kettle before and just put the lid on, after 3-4 days and fermentation slowed i racked to a sealed container with airlock and all was fine. I've read and seen some guys simply put sanitized tin foil over their carboys for the...
