After reading a little bit of the thread, it kind of sounded like the grain was being crushed nice to start so id check that off. My best guess is going to be the mashing process. I am not sure how you are doing it, but if you don't get a good extraction then ur not going to get good gravity...

I've played around with huckleberries in the berry form which were flash freezed after being picked and it was alright in a porter. It sorta takes a lot of berries to get the taste you will be trying to extract. So I think the extract would be the best way to go, which you are doing. Instead of...

Studying beer styles and listening to podcasts in anticipation of landing a brewing job this week :O

+5gal IPA +5gal Pale =14513.75

Such a tasty hop. The mango really shines through with the tropical aspect of the hop, I used Chinook to bitter my ipa with all azacca and it was so good.

Has anyone threw it in second fermentation without doing any sanitation techniques? Im sure someone would have notes on it. I really think its fine to toss it in, especially if you are doing a dry hop on top of that to. I will post on my results when I use it with this method.

The cascade is going to be a real subtle bitterness, maybe Columbus for a small decent battering charge? I have bittered with cascade at 2oz 60min mark and just didn't get the desired charge I would of liked unlike using columbus or chinook, but looks like a nice recipe with the later additions...

Best reason for sure haha

152 degree mash and should add the sugar right when the boil starts to be the nice rumble, then throw it in because it'll bring the boil down. Once it starts again then you are good to start the 60min timer, that is just my method when using sugar. Another suggestion I would add is a touch of...

I have two IPA's brewed which is 10gal total, IIPA 5gal (just got put onto carb :) ) Stout 5gal two Pale brews at 10gal total Wheat 5gal So I got 35gals to add to the list ! Great year so far for brews

why not just toss it into secondary and just let the beer mix it in? I don't think you would contract any wild yeast and stuff because it wouldn't have any sugars present because the last yeast already powered through it or am I mistaken? I have been reading up on this PB stuff which i'll be...

sweet bro good to hear. Once its cold and carbonated you are probably going to have that gone in no time.

How does the FF taste? Gonna use this hop here in an upcoming beer and am pretty stoked to use it.

Got some kegging to do on a imp. Ipa and dry hopping, just picked up a corny keg so pretty stoked to get this imp on the carb and in the cooler :)

Really slick setup man. Pretty jealous of how you are controlling the temperature. One day ill break free from carboy fermentors and step up my game, cheers
