Does this look better?

Any idea what that ratio actually is?

B/c I have no idea with any of this water stuff. What would be the reasoning for changing?

So I'm new to BIAB but did my first DIPA a few weeks ago and it turned out pretty good. Just not as soft on the mouthfeel as I'd like. I just downloaded brew'n calculator and have been tinkering around with it but honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I did put in all my water info and was...

Thanks for the reply. This is the boil/dry hop schedule: Turn off heat, add Flame Out Hops. Allow to stand for 10-15 min before chilling - 2 oz Simcoe (0 min - Flame Out) - 1 oz Columbus (0 min - Flame Out) - 0.5 oz Apollo (0 min - Flame Out) Once the wort has cooled to 180 degrees...

Brewed the NB "Off The Topper Clone" today. While making the beer (already threw the grains in) I realized I wasn't given any of the Apollo hops that are called for. The recipe calls for .5 oz at flame out and another .5 oz once the wort reached 180 degrees. Since I didn't have any other hops I...

Okay..sounds like I should just put it back on the plate and let it do its thing till brew day tomorrow. I made a starter for this beer cause the O.G is supposed to be 1068 and the package suggested a starter. Have you guys had many starters blow through the top of the flask like I mentioned...

So I'm new to the whole starter thing. This is my second time making one and my first time using Omega Yeast. I just recently did starter using 1 can of fast pitch wort from NB using the Omega West Coast ale 1. I pitched the yeast at around 9pm Monday evening and by 11am Tuesday it was going...

Well swirling around didn't wake anything up..the yeast was definitely just finished. Attempted to throw another batch of yeast with a starter and as I suspected that didn't do anything. After talking to a brewer in my area I'm convinced that once fermentation craps out theres no way of...

I used the Windsor ale dry yeast. It was an extract brew. The exp date on the yeast was good to go. I went down a couple hours ago and gave it a nice swirl. It seemed to cause the airlock to start moving a little bit again. I'll give it another 24 hrs an take a reading to see where its at.

First time posting here..but have been using this site as a reference for a lot of questions I've had since starting to brew last year. Couldn't find the answer to this one exactly so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I'm doing the NB bourbon barrel porter and brewed...
