Wort is cooler and today has been a learning experience! Missed mash temp by 6° under so I added 1gal of boiling water and hit 151- mashed for 1hour. Sparge water wouldn't heat to 185 (running out of gas) so I sparged with 175 and hit my volumes pretty well. 6.3 gal preboil vs 6.5 that I...

I stumbled across a gold mine of Nugget, Citra, and Sarachi Ace at a great little HBS in Portsmouth NH and I would like to see if anyone has a good base DIPA extract recipe I can utilize my own hop schedule with. I'm looking to do about 9% ABV so I'm thinking OG of about 1.080+ Any...

Good afternoon brewers. I stumbled upon this thread and being that I just finished a keg of my delicious Coffee and Cream Stout I couldn't resist. Start with a good sweet stout recipe (I Dont have my grain bill memorized and will update later on). However for the coffee aspect, I brewed 96oz...
