So Im brewing a black IPA or Hoppy porter, or RIS, whatever you want to call it. But heres what I've come up with. Where I'm looking for the most input is on my hop schedule. I feel I may have gone overboard with 10 oz. of hops, but I want it to be roasty and very hoppy, so please give me some...

This comment went unappreciated

Thanks for the responses. I am using Sumatra Coffee as well. The recipe for founders breakfast stout on BYO called for sumatra at flameout, and kona in secondary. I was gonna do the bottling day method instead of secondary. But I can see what you all are saying, sumatra being very bold, it...

So Im brewing a breakfast stout that calls for 2oz of coffee grounds at flameout. I dont wanna add grounds, but I'd rather add cold brewed coffee. So my question is how much coffee should i add? ps - I'm using keurig cups, and i think each cup has about .5 oz of coffee in them. Should I brew...

I don't know why this annoys me, but this has happened about 3 times Me: I homebrew Them: I'd like to make whiskey, now that'd be cool. This usually means, I know nothing about beer, therefore I have nothing to add to your conversation

Wow, that was a wild guess. I live in Huntington, but I've done a lot of Drywall in the Ridges. Recognized those steep hills haha. Good looking plants.

Looks like a house up in The Ridges

Me and 3 fellow beer lovers (actually 2 1/2) are heading to three Floyd's, Bells, and Founders for a Midwest brew tour. We have one day where well be in Chicago most of the day. Having never been there at all, there's a lot of options. We're looking at Half Acre, maybe Local Option, also saw a...
