I'm interested in this as well.

I did a Maris Otter and Citra SMaSH ale for my second all grain batch last year and it turned out awesome! Used Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale yeast fermented around 67*f. I can't remember the amounts but I know I only used a fairly large first wort hop addition and a bunch of late additions as...

Taps are mounted to my fridge door so they're cooled in a way. I don't have a tower or anything. Could that be a product of it getting warmer out and not having set temperature control? Like I said, this hasn't been an issue before.

I've been kegging for about a year now and this has just recently become a problem. For some reason a lot of my beers have been ridiculously foamy. I chalked the first few batches up to over carbing because I tried the 30 psi and shake method. I reverted back to the set and forget method which I...

I bet NZ hops would be awesome in this. I know Citra and Cascade were wonderful. Those tropical fruit flavors I'm sure will work out awesome. P.S. This stuff really came together around 6-8 weeks in the bottles. Here's a picture of how mine turned out. I bet some brett or other wild yeast...

17271 + 5.5 American Pale Ale with Cascade and Amarillo. Gravity tasting was AWESOME. 17276.5

It's definitely possible to over sparge while batch sparging. I was running into some volume/low OG numbers because I had too much sparge water from my calculations. Are you just putting 5 gallons into the fermenter and dumping the rest? I ended up boiling the extra wort off with an extra 30...

14,745 +5.5 of my Heck of a Storm IPA. 14,750.5

F.G. came in at 1.008. It dried out a little more than I was hoping, but it works pretty well I think. It is fairly estery, perhaps not as fruity as commercial examples but still good. It has a pretty musty flavor which I'm assuming is from the yeast profile and the fermentation temp. It's the...

Yes. Add all of your totals then update every time you brew. I don't see it resembling work at all since it's entirely voluntary.

Two weeks in bottles and its tasting pretty stinking good! Another week and it should be right where it needs to be. I might enter this into a competition this spring for ****s-n-giggles. Got some great mango/passion fruit flavors from the Citra and Cascade combo.

+ 5.5 gallons American stout 13116.5

That is simply incredible. WOW!

+ 5.5 gallons Black IPA. 9284.5
