I ordered my supplies and im probobly going to be brewing this week. Just to be completely sure im doin this right , Wort should have 2 1/2 lbs of grain. after making the wort, Heat it untill it boils, then keep boiling untill you hit "hot break", then start my timer and boil for 60 minutes...

When weighing the grain bag that's still in a plastic bag it came out to 2lbs 10 ounces. Im also pretty confident I can maintain exact temps, my kit came with a thermometer that ill be watching like a hawk the whole time.

Yea I think, just split the cascade and armarillo in 1/6th parts and add it in every 15- 20 minutes and start with the Columbus?

Thanks for the link, I actually was just about to ask where can I get some grains and hops. So when you say a quarter pound, you mean to add a qtr pound plus the 2lb bag that came with the kit? and should I completely replace the Columbus with Amarillo?

ah ok I get what your saying, thanks for clearing that up :cross:

I have 5 lb 4 ounces of grains, so should I use the whole 1 3/8 ounces (2 packets of cascade and 2 packets of Columbus) of hops from both kits? I was hoping to get a double or even triple ipa

Thanks for the suggestions, gunna grab some of those muslin hop bags this week. But what exactly do you mean by (2 lbs 2-row, and 0.25 lbs crystal?)

Ya its the 1 gallon kit. The grain bag the kit comes with is 2 lb and 10 ounces so I have 4 lb 20 ounces of grain, the grains consisitancy is ground with what appears to be some sort of seed husks in it. The cascade hops bag it comes with is 5/8 ounces so I have 1 and 2/8 ounces of cascade, and...

Is the Airlock in the everyday ipa kit from the brooklyn brew shop sufficient for this? I have 2 "everyday IPA" kits from the Brooklyn brew shop. It comes with a glass fermenting jug, racking cane, thermometer, airlock, a screw-cap stopper, and tubing. The ingredients it comes with is...

Hey, I recently just acquired 2 home brewing kits that both came with "Columbus hops" and "cascade hops" This is my first time brewing and im trying to see if I can make a double ipa since I have 2 packets of hops and grains each. If so by how much should I add to the original recipe...
