Leave them all in the same bag. Your bittering hops have probably released most of their Alpha Acids (bittering) by that time but there is no harm in leaving them in the bag. I hope that helps.

I live in the city but travel out to Marietta for the Insert Name Here Brew Club. We meet on the first tuesday of the month @BrewMaster's Warehouse in Marietta. I work at Brewmaster's and we have an amazing selection of to help with your homebrewing needs! Come on out Tuesday night for the...

Just add the 8 oz. hops and then if you need additional ounces you can add them straight from the brew builder while building your recipe or select them individually. :tank:

I would be careful squeezing too much! You may just have extracted a ton of tannins with as much force as you applied. Don't be disappointed if the brew doesn't taste right. It is better to add more grain to increase your efficiency than to have to squeeze the bag. Just my two cents.

Brewmaster's Warehouse.com has them for $2.15 per oz but they are whole leaf.

I think I am going to try this recipe this weekend but take the citrus up a notch by using some Citra hops. What do you guys think?

Wow....So much beer and so little time...I almost feel like I am in Belgium trying to get in all the abbey's! haha! The wife may get a car during the week if work approves so I can do some outside San Fran sight...oops beer seeing! Thanks for all the info!

Brewmasters Warehouse is amazing!

Welcome from Atlanta! I just started in October and this site has been instrumental in helping me make some great beer. I am sure you will find it very helpful!

I just cracked open some of my Rye IPA mini-mash kit brew from Austin HomeBrew and it turned out amazing. I had two friends taste it who are not normally beer drinkers and both of them said it tasted so good that I should just sell it! The kit was only my second brew!

I was thinking of shortening it up a week in primary! Thanks for the advice!

Thanks! I looked at the thread and I am heading out tomorrow to pick up the ingredients! Do you think I can have it ready by St. Patrick's day if I am bottling?

I am looking to brew this weekend a nice Dry Irish Stout. I am hoping it will be ready for St. Patrick's Day! Any recipes or suggestions? I have been looking but have been only able to find All Grain and Extract recipes. Thanks!
