Quick update, brew went extremely well. Went with my original mash schedule. Take the numbers with a grain of salt as I wasn't too cautious with accuracy as I was pretty well into it by the time I got done and the hop oils might effect the measurement a bit each time. 16 Brix/1.064 @ 7 gallons...

Found the FW mash schedule usually keeps things nice and dry and I figured it should play well with some esters from the 200. Though again, I'm not tied to anything except what I've got laying around. Slightly disagrees with what Bob is saying I can up the IBUs a bit more I guess. Thrown in...

Yeah IPAs have been the style that has been my curse for a while. Other beers, english, scotch, berlinerweisses, easy. Something always seems to go weird, aroma disappearing is a large one. Figured a hop burst might be worth a shot. Est Original Gravity: 1.065 SG Est Final Gravity: 1.012 SG...

Don't have any Columbus, I've found I like the FWH better in the past, but that just may be confirmation bias. I'm going with what I happen to have on hand, which is a pound of amarillo, 2 oz Simcoe, and 1 oz 342. I can pick up more hops from the store if need be for the dry hopping. Playing...

I think I just put in an arbitrary time, will probably be closer to a week.

Would love some advice on this recipe, brewing it tomorrow probably, I upped the volumes because I'm expecting a lot of absorption from the hops. Type: All Grain Batch Size: 6.50 gal Boil Size: 8.93 gal Boil Time: 60 min End of Boil Vol: 7.80 gal Fermentation: Ale, Two Stage 14 lbs Pale Malt...

Ok so I just had Stone's 11.11.11 and it tastes eerily similar to a beer I've made in the past. ------------ Amt Name Type # %/IBU 4.0 oz Special B Malt (180.0 SRM) Grain 3 2.0 %...

Throwing this out there, I saw some discussion in this thread about using Saison II from white labs. The consensus seemed to be that it would attenuate too much and ferment out too dry. What about Saison I (565) that one doesn't seem to attenuate nearly as much. I've been wanting to do this...

So here we go, third try in a different section Basically trying to narrow down this issue and so far I've gotten little to no help. I've even brought it to other homebrewers and they were dumbfounded as well. It only happens with a few of my batches, some are extremely great, others do...

Ok, so I need to lower my ambients, I just built a fermentation temperature a few days ago. I'm not venting that much. I remembered there was little no aroma on this witbier even when I kegged it. I can't remember the other beers. It was 50% wheat. 6lb in the batch. And then I added about...

Yeah already looked at all the sites with those descriptions, none of those fit too well. There's a reason I'm asking here, as in one of my theories is a dirty CO2 supply.

Basically didn't get much help earlier because I don't think I described it very well, or mislead people. So I'm rewriting it here. Last (really) good batch was back in February around the super bowl. Since then have brewed multiple beers that have all had a very similar issue. The hydro...
