Thanks for the explanation

Still pretty new to this but made a Hazy that was 1.064

I finished with the expected 2.5 gallons. Certainly possible my efficiency was off. Im usally around 70% and now that i think about it, i did not take a pre-boil gravity reading

Going to bump this. Covid-19 delayed my brewing but i did this again. Modified the recipe. Dropped carapils for munich and lowered the crystal some. Skipped the 5 minute addition and moved it to a whirlpool @ 180. Just bottled 2 days ago. Looked and smelled great. Target OG was 1.080, i only...

Appreciate all the input.

I added my dry hop additions on day 7, left them another 7 days then bottled. I added them naked but also have hop bags and have used them for dry hoping in the past but just went naked this time around. Whirlpool at 180 degrees for 15 minutes?

Im going to bump this since I've brewed in and would like some input. Ill first start by saying it was a slight off flavor and Im pretty sure its at my own expense. I tried to filter from my primary to bottling bucket using a hop bag and there was a lot of splashing and i guess I injected too...

Any recommendations on fermentation time and temp?? I don't have a great way to maintain temps. I usually keep my bucket in a spare bedroom near the heat with blankets and able to keep it around 66-67 degrees. Was thinking id leave it in my bucket (don't have a secondary fermenter) for 2...

How would a 7lb 2-row and .5lb crystal sound? Was also thinking to add .5oz Amarillo at flame out since it will be on hand

I typically just pitch the dry pack but consensus here seem to be rehydrate so maybe ill give it a shot I typically get about 70%

New guy here for my first post. Been homebrewing on and off over the years. Mostly extract kits but recently moved into a BIAB method. Starting to work my own recipes rather then follow kits so would love some input from you vets. I like to make small batches for the sake of not having to...
