So its my first time making cider and I plan on bottle conditioning but want to make a sweet cider not a dry cider. I haven't had a bottle bomb yet(knock on wood) and I think that trying to pull off bottle pasteurizing would end poorly for me. Has anyone had luck back-sweeting with splenda...

2011 + 10gal IPA + 3gal mead = 2024

I agree with Myelo for the most part. If your not a fan of an amber don't make it an amber. If you add 3 lbs of DME that should bring you to about 1.060 OG which is a great starting point for an IPA. I would move the ounce of Willamette to about the 15 min mark. Add 2 ounces of Citra one...

WYEAST 1187 ringwood ale yeast, Is the closest strand of yeast to Deschutes Brewery house yeast, as per http://www.kswbeer.com/2012/05/what-yeast-does-deschutes-use.html So if going for a clone you might want to try this yeast.

Just had a beer in Dublin like that they called it an Irish Pale Ale

I have ordered WYEAST to an FPO in Europe and it showed up fine. Summer months might be tough. I think I shipped in the fall. http://www.homebrewing.org/ You might want to look into washing and harvesting yeast too.

So with my first BIAB it was also my first time taking gravity readings OG: 1.060 @40 degrees put it in the fridge and forgot about it FG: 1.000 @80 degrees room was just hot so brewers friend says that the adjustment for temp is 1.059 and 1.001 what does this level of attenuation do...

I brewed at a buddies house because my propane burner hadn't arrived yet and drove home with the fermenters in the back of the car. Didn't shake it up too bad and I left the airlock in. If the move is just cross town don't worry about it. If it is a longer trip might make a difference I only...

With a 5 gallon batch can I just add 6 oz. of hops over the last 30min and still have a decent IPA, or do I need to add something at the 60 min mark? I'm thinking El Dorado, Citra, and Cascade. Brewers Friend says it will still hit 90ish IBU. I have never used El Dorado before can anyone...
