Hello all, I'm looking to get my hands on some C&W Crate cases or similar. It appears they do not exist anymore. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Picture attached

Thanks Gnomebrewer. I'll push up the hop additions. I do want a thinner body but I've never used sugar in the boil so I'm not sure on proper amounts. So, maybe I'll do 5lbs of DME and 1lb sugar. I've used dry safale in my past couple ales but I feel like they all get this same semi-yeasty...

Hello Brewheads, I'm looking to make a simple American IPA. Any recommendations based on the following recipe? I was thinking of replacing 3lbs of DME with 2lbs corn sugar - would this lighten the body of the beer? Also, any yeast recommendations - I wanted to use liquid. Fermentable...

Hey all, Does any one have a good 5gal DME coffee Porter recipe or general recommendations for such?

Ok. I have it sitting in primary. I'll rack to 2ndary when krausen drops and leave for extra time before dry hopping and bottling. Thanks for trying to salvage my terrible mistakes, guys

Okay thanks everyone. So too late to pitch more yeast. Should I let it in primary longer or what else can I do to make sure this puppy turns out? Should I still add more yeast?

Right! (on that OG) I checked the lid seal a couple times. It's as closed as possible and the tubing seems tight to the grommit - it's in distilled water too. Should I put a fan directly on the fermenter to cool it?

sorry, i think that's suppose to be OG 1.070 or 1.080. There's no way it was 1.17 - that would be insane right?

Thanks. I am planning on secondary so I'll need to transfer before then. I didn't make a starter (not sure I know what that is). I purchased the yeast the same day but one of the nutrients bladders didn't break - I don't think that's a big deal though. The room is around 74 degrees the...

Hey all, I pitched American Ale 1056 yeast into my IPA on Sunday. It's been in the primary fermenter bucket with a blow out tube. The tubing has condensation and I peeked under the lid today to spot some Krausen but it didn't seem to be really gurgling. So, we are going on the...

Awesome! I'm in madison too. Love living here!

thanks everyone. I'm so new to this I've never dry hopped or whirl-pooled anything. I think I understand dry hopping but I'm really unclear on how to whirlpool. Can anyone expand on these techniques for me? Also, about replacing the Amber DME - other than DME and priming sugar for...

I'm going for an American IPA. Does it need more Hops, you think?

I'm thinking this will be my next beer. The hop mix is because I've got some frozen left overs to use. I really wanted to use Summit thought because I think it's AA is dang high. Any thoughts on this? 5gal batch. 6lbs Golden Light DME 3lbs Sparkling Amber DME 1lb Vienna Malt grains...

Hello brewers! I'm relatively new to brewing and new to the forum. Just wanted to drop a hello here. I'm located in Wisconsin where craft brewing has become a spiritual matter lol. I've made one APA in 2015 and have a Dunkelwiezen fermenting now. Both of those I made with my father -...
