Hi folks, bumping this up to see if anyone has thoughts before I pick up some hops this weekend

New brewer here: +3 first batch IPA +3 wit/saison hybrid +3 another IPA =14,118.5

Last week I was hoping to brew an all-citra batch but my LHBS had been cleaned out so I ended up putting together a blend I haven't tried before: Summit, Falconer's 7Cs, and Simcoe. Would like to dry hop to get some more aroma in this guy but not really sure what I should use. Right now, am just...

I know that a .5 gal boil off is on the very low end, but that seems to be my standard after a couple runs. Still, planning on having some extra water ready to go in case I come up short and need to top off. Better safe than sorry.

Hi all, This weekend I'm planning on brewing my first batch using a recipe that I put together on my own. Was hoping that you all could look over it and let me know what you think: Any major holes? Anything adjustments that you think would help? Thanks in advance! Making a 2.5 gal batch...
