Hi, What kind of style and or use of the hop Ella do you guys think brings out the best of the hop. I'm thinking a classic esb style recipe with late additions of Ella Cheers!

Get a cheap fridge, a stc-1000 and a 60w light bulb

I agree with Evan, A 60/10/5 and dryhop

I almost threw my refractometer in the bin the first time I used it. I didn't know about the alcohol changing the value either =) I was freaking out until I found the tool in beersmith.

Thanks chessking, What you just said is the only solution I can come up with as well. I've just started doing 3 week primary, so maybe I dont have to cold crash anyway. We'll see =)

Hi, I was wondering how people go about brewing every 2 weeks, 3 week primary then cold crashing with only one fermentation chamber? Is there a obvious cycle that Im missing? Cheers, Anders

Thanks everyone for the help. This is why I love this forum!!!!

Thanks alot for your help guys, I agree with the spec grain might be a bit much. Yooper, I thought 4 weeks primary then bottle was a good idea. Would you do 3 weeks then bottle?

Hi folks, I would like some experienced input on this recipe, for peace of mind, confirmation etc =) 8.5 lb pale malt (gambrinus) 12 oz crystal 60 8 oz cara-pils 8 oz victory 0.75 centennial 60 min 1 oz amarillo 30 min 0.25 amarillo 15 0.25 amarillo 5 min 1/2 whirlfloc wlp001...

I really buy what people say about secondary might be unnecessary. The only reason I still do it is so that I can wash the yeast and save some money. Well here is my question. Would it make sense to make a yeast starter 500 ml bigger than needed just to save in Mason jar, to use for a starter...

I got a $2 rubber plug for the airlock but with out the hole in it. Just plug n shake

I'm in Courtenay / comox and I have a couple big bags of marris otter and gambrinius base malt if you're interested. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Home Brew mobile app

I made the same mistake, confusing ambient and ferm temperature. I drank 5 gallons of headache Sent from my SGH-I747M using Home Brew mobile app

Is it just me or, if it was easy to brew the perfect beer, then it wouldn't be as much fun. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Home Brew mobile app

I'm reading the book right now, of you want more depth than what's in the book, then a PhD in micro biology is the next step :-) Sent from my SGH-I747M using Home Brew mobile app
