Am I reading this right... 30.2 oz Simcoe 40.2 oz Glacier 50.2 oz Galaxy 60.2 oz Amarillo 70.2 oz Crystal 80 pkgs Safale American Yeast 90.2 oz Mosaic ???? That might be a little too hoppy and attenuated....

Yeah, I was debating 3 or 5 and I might do 1.5 oz of each for 3 days and then remove it and add 1.5 oz of each for 2 days for 5 days total in hopes to taste fresh and avoid grassy taste

Hey everyone, brewing an IPA this weekend and just curious if anyone has experience with my ingredients... Would love some thoughts on it. From Beersmith: 5 gallon batch 60 minute boil OG: 1.059 FG: 1.011 IBU: 74.2 Color: 6 SRM ABV: 6.3% Bitterness Ratio: 1.262 Grain: Pale...

Are you looking for special release/rare bottles or just their normal lineup? Cigar City will have the most variety (Find some Puppy's Breath) and the rest may or may not have some bottles. Green Bench just released this weekend a 4 part series of a russian imperial stout so you might be able to...

Hey Bluemoose! I'm not sure where you are staying but if you are close to downtown I would suggest you hitch a ride over to Ybor and check out Coppertail Brewing Company, Cigar City Cider and Mead and Tampa Bay Brewing Company. If you have means to a rental car or taxi then head over to St. Pete...

I came up with a recipe the other day for an IPA featuring comet hops. My recipe calls for 8 ounces of comet hops, 2 ounces of those are for dry hopping. My bitterness ratio is 1.356. After researching the hop I am getting mixed reviews and was wondering if 8 ounces might be a little too much...

I bottled this morning.. I just decided to open one of my beers and try it. As far as my process goes... First I cleaned all the bottles, buckets, etc with PBW then I sanitized everything with starsan. I had bottles sit in starsan while I was filling them. I stirred my priming sugar in...

So I bottled my Pale Ale today and I was in a rush and forgot to add my priming sugar before I racked my beer to the bottling bucket... I mixed my priming sugar with boiled water and let it cool and then poured it into my beer and gently stirred it. I decided to crack open the last bottle that I...

How much do you add? Is 0.5 lb enough to have a background sweetness in your opinion or should I add more?

Yeah, it seems like there is a good portion of home brewers who add Molasses instead of Brown Sugar. Would you add Molasses to the boil? Primary? I am not sure for Brown Sugar or Molasses whether adding to boil or primary is better. Seems split on the board. My intention is to have a slight bump...

For my next beer I am going to make an adaption of the Northern English Brown Ale from Brewing Classic Styles and I want to add some Brown Sugar. I have searched the forms and have seen mixed results but I want to add some anyways to experiment. I decided I am going to add half a cup of brown...

I used to work at Flat 12 Brewery and I have been craving some Half Cycle IPA however I will also take zombie dust. I live in Tampa, FL and can get my hands on Cigar City beer. Looking to trade a 6 pack.

I call mine Slippery Slope Brewing... The name came about because I get consumed by my hobbies when I should be studying for an exam or something...
