Mine is like the second at first then slow the boil down either to maintain target volume or when I add aroma additions.

Thank you crash568. I am very pleased with the results and appreciate the advice from blackbear, rlmiller10, and beerkench. This is why I joined HBT; the immense knowledge and willingness to collaborate. :mug: I will post pics, wish I could post a sample

Forgot to the 0.5 Hallertau at FO. LHBS Centennial was 10.9% AA made the change to current AA%. Picking up ingredients this weekend. Brewing next week (Dad of three have to brew during the week after bedtime). 0.6 oz Centennial [10.9%] (60 min) 0.75 oz Cascade [7.7%] (10 min) 0.5 oz...

With the new comments. The IBU's would be lower I also dropped the ABV to less than 5%. It takes about 40 mins for my wort to drop to pitching temp. FO addition is more like a 5 min anyway. Batch Size: 5.5 gal Boil Size: 6.5 gal Estimated OG: 1.053 SG Estimated FG: 1.016 SG Estimated Color: 7...

I may try 152 F as target. I intend to bounce between target and -2 degrees with my setup. If I aim for 152 then it should be between 150 & 152. Didn't think about the mash temp & a lighter body thank you.

I have the hops above on hand, with NW Ale yeast (69%) BYO Beer Calculator is showing 5%. 60/10/FO is a good suggestion, will try it next time. We are still in the mid to high 40s I have time to brew a few batches before summer, which starts here July 5.

Yes, most of the bittering is coming from the Centennial-60 (21 IBU), Cascade-15 (7 IBU), Centennial-5 (4 IBU). I was going to move to FO but thought I would try FWH since the AA is so low. I think I will give it a go at FO and might try FWH on another my standard brew just see if I notice a...

Thought about it and decided to drop the Simcoe hops, if something is missing I can always brew it again :) . I want to see if the Citra will pull the fruit and citrus notes from the other three hops. I will be brewing this as my next batch in a few weeks and will post photos and how it turned...

Update to Hop Schedule to 30/15/5/Flameout. I added an extra 1.0 oz of cascade and simacoe to total hop schedule as late addition for more flavor and aroma. This bumbs IBU ~ 46 which is still in the Maltose Falcons range up to 55 IBU 0.5 oz Centennial [11.5%] (30 min) 0.5 oz Hallertrau [4.5%]...

BrewerBrad82 that looks tasty and nice color

20 psi for 24 is how I re-carb flat beer after a party from a store bought keg. Sounds like your on the right track.

I just brewed my own red recipe called NW Irish Red it is posted under general techniques. Turned out really well.

High pressure is to ensure good seal on the lid, you could back down before pour.

I would bump pressure to 20 psi. Then Pop off gas connector. Keg should be hold pressure then try to pour if it is still flowing slow I would say it is the faucet, if it is still slow could be sediment in bottom of keg clogging dip tube, try tying a muslin bag to end of dip tube it will act as a...

Looking to brew a lake/river beer. Looking for light body, low ABV, with a slight malt flavor balanced with Citrus hop profile here is what I came up with: Batch Size: 5.0 gal Boil Size: 6.0 gal Estimated OG: 1.056 SG Estimated Color: 7.5 SRM Estimated IBU: 40 IBU Brewhouse Efficiency...
