Damn son, you don't play. I'm clowning apparently because I only used 8 oz total including dry hop for the iipa - 2 Columbus, 1 Amarillo, 2 simcoe, 1 galaxy, and 2 citra dry hop. Had a sample tonight of it after about 3 days dry hopping and it friggin banging. Kinda wish I had put more citra in...

Yup. The imperial ipa is being dry hopped with 2 ounces dried citra I had previous to the lb. I was planning on dry hopping the ipa with 2 ounces of citra pellets. And I suppose with the saison 2 ounces of pellets as well?

I was leaning towards a Saison actually. I'm guessing that will probably only use about 2 ounces tops of aroma hops. I suppose 6 oz hopped zombie dust will be in order after wards. Thanks!

I brewed an imperial IPA 3 weeks ago and needed some citra hops and all my LHBS had was a whole pound of citra pellets. So i bought it obviously and only used about 4 ounces. Then a week later I wanted to used the rest so I made just a regular IPA and used 4 more ounces. I'm pretty new to...

aight, another update. I took some wort out of the spigot of the fermenter to double check this weirdness. After filtering it like 4 times and even checking if the OG reader would measure my faucet water at 1.00 spec. grav. I ended up geting as low as 1.095. Much more reasonable than my...

UPDATE! Just brewed it and some weird **** happened. I used all of my hops except for 1 oz of Amarillo pellets. And obviously my 2 oz of centenial fresh and 2 oz of citra fresh for dry hopping. The reason why i bring that up is because of what my OG was. It was high. Really high...

Only 2 posters?! wtf. Let's go people talk it up. Tell me it sucks or it rules or whatever else. This is definitely the most interesting thing on the forum right now I'm not gonna lie.

I didn't think about the IBU and final volume conundrum. I only have a 5 gallon kettle. So it seems like after the 60 minute boil I'll have two options, don't fill up to 5 and simply have less beer to ferment (this is good cause my IBU's will be as high as I want them), or fill up to 5 gallons...

Problem I have with the dry hop is that only my centenial and citra are not pellets. Can you dry hop with pellets?

This is my 3rd beer I'm brewing and I decided to step it up to something awesome since the first 2 turned out good. So a step up to the Imperial IPA style seems necessary. Below are my ingredients list. I have alot more hops than I think I need but it's mainly because the first time I went to my...

I didn't really have time to read all 150 pages of this thread but does anyone know or has seen someone do this all grain instead of partial? Is it as simple as just more grain or is the brew bag constrained to not hold that much grain for say, an imperial stout.

I'm using an updated chrome browser and I cannot see anyones' posted pics. They just appear as small squares that I cannot even download.

Ok. So it sounds like as long as my yeast is nice an healthy they should ferment everything. And from what you say if you're doing a high gravity beer, add some extra healthy yeast at high krausen to give it a nice boost.

I've been reading a little bit about adding simple sugars to your brew in order to increase gravity and give it a slightly drier flavor - which is what I'm after (anyone claiming this will produce a cidery brew, save your keystrokes, it doesn't). But I've read that you don't really want to add...

Ok cool. So in the case of heavier beers, you would dump the whole thing in (top layer and sediment) whereas lighter beers you take the top layer off and just put the bottom sediment layer in. Did I get that right?
