Imperial IPA. Please

I'm for for the imperial IPA. All grain. Cheers🍻😎

How is the air horn applied to the set up?

I'm getting ready to transfer my 6 month aged Porter to corny kegs. 15 gals or slightly less. Any ideas on how to transfer and minimize oxygen contamination. I need a DYI set up. Low funds for a bulldog keg device

After several different discussions I am left with mixed feelings about aging my beer. I believed that 4 months would be ok. Now I'm not sure. Any thoughts? I will not be around for 4 months to check. I am willing to let it sit and try it for the first time beginning May. I'll be keeping my...

I purged the barrel and the wort with a few blasts of CO2. I do have a similar beer an American stout that I will use to too off what I was short of. Who knows this could be a new blended porter that will keg for 3-4 months. I plan on checking it end of April or May. The barrel absorbed approx...

What do you use to top off your beer kegged in a whiskey barrel? I know I've lost some volume. Approx a gallon. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

How does beer smith calculate whether you have too much grain for the batch you want to make. It doesn't ask For kettle dimensions? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

? When entering the mash tun weight in Beersmith, do you enter the actual weight of the Kettle and or the total amount of grain weight that it will possibly hold. I have received conflicting information. I just want the right info for Beersmith to properly calculate. My system has 3 s/s kettles...

It's difficult to be patient. I will however, be vigilant and wait for 7-10 days. Does it present a problem if the dry hopping is in the vessel longer by a few days? What is generally optimal for that part if the process. My recipe calls for 2 oz of citra dry hop for 7 days. Sent from my...

Ok. Then I have to rack to my secondary anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My starter was for a 10 gal batch. It was an all grain recipe. I was wondering if my fermentation vessel is too big. I used a food grade 20 gal vessel with a snap ring holding the top down. It has a typical air lock on the top. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Stuck fermentation. I'm puzzled. My 13 gal batch was spot on for OG and FG. My target was 1.055 and I was slightly lower at 1.052. I made a good yeast starter WYEAST. 1056 ale yeast but after 3 days no visible signs of anything coming from my air lock. My last reading was 1.035. Today. My temp...
