Okay I have a couple questions so I'll try to ask as simply as possible.
So I am brewing my own Imperial IPA. I have made it before in a 1 gallon batch and it worked really well so I wanted to do my first full 5 gallon batch. I ordered all my ingredients and yeast. Now I'll be brewing this on...
Hi I brewed my first double IPA about a month ago and was very happy with it. The Fermentation went well and it came out around 9% ABV. All that was left was to dry hop and and cold crash which I figured I could do at the same time so I added the hops and put it in the fridge. I only planned on...
Hi I have read a lot of threads speaking about this matter but didn't quite feel comfortable doing it without asking myself. I have two 1 Gallon carboys of beer a 9% ABV Double IPA and a 6 1/2% ABV English Bitter. I want to cold crash these in my fridge for a clearer beer.
My question is how...
Ok so do you think I could throw the hops in now and bottle in 7 days. It's pretty much done fermenting. By the way they are pellet hops so should I use less since they are pellets or does it matter?
Hi I'm in the middle of brewing my first IPA. Its a single hop IPA. I really like Citra hops so that's the hop I chose to use. It's a one gallon batch to test the recipe. So far I've added a total of an once of citra to the boil. With my hop schedule my IBU calculator calculates its at about 70...
Interesting I guess I'll have to buy myself a couple Roggenbiers to try. Do you know of any brands that I should keep my eye out for? I love wheat-beers so if it's like a more robust version of those then I must try some.
And sure I'd like to see the recipe but only if its no trouble for you...
I haven't bought any of my spices yet so I'm good there. I will use fresh ginger and make a ginger extract and a coriander extract. adding a smaller amount to boil and saving extract for later additions if needed, like you suggested. I also personally love the burning spiciness of ginger but I...

It looks like dried slices and chunks of ginger. Not powder. I wouldn't mind using fresh ginger but don't know much to use of that either. Would I get a better ginger flavor using fresh or does it matter?
@m00ps
Thanks for your opinion on the WLP566 I will use that yeast. I...
Thanks for the reply. Yes my Recipe is a combo of some other Hennepin recipes I've seen, and simplified a bit for the ingredients that I already have. I'm not to worried about this beer being a perfect clone either as long as its a nice beer. Hennepin really was just an inspiration (My Favorite...
Planing on brewing up my first mini mash Belgian beer soon. Looking for some advice on my recipe.
50.5% - 3 lbs Belgian Pilsner Malt (Grain)
22.9% - 6.6 lbs (2 Cans of Munton's Light LME)
7.60% - 1 lb light DME
3.80% - 8 oz Flaked Wheat
15.3% - 2 lbs Belgian Candi Sugar ( I will be adding...
To be honest mostly for the fun of it. I like experimenting with things.:D But of course the fact that it would be gluten free is nice because both my aunt and cousin have celiac disease. But I have been making them wine so its not really for that.
The coloring is just an added benefit...
Never mind I'm not using Rice solids. I'm going to do one gallon batch with two pounds flaked rice and Amylase Enzyme.
Still open for advice on flavoring additions. Does anyone think Sorachi Ace hops would be good here?
