My Amber is more east cost style. Concentrated more on the malt than the hops!!

It was formulated to be about 31 IBU's.

I brewed an American Amber ale and I have 5 gallons of wort left. I had plans to dry hop snot out of it. But I think I want to sour it for sh*ts and giggles. I have never soured any of my beers before. With that said the OG was 1.057 It has already finished out at 1.014 It is in secondary...

I'm looking for about a pound of alpharoma hop for a pilot batch of a new ipa. I can't find any available online anywhere. Any help on where to get some would be great. Or if anyone has some they want to sell would be great also!! Thanks, Erik Erik bell

Okay good to know thanks for the info. It's a low gravity beer light beer worried it wasn't going to be okay! Along with being able to use the east again!

Made a pale ale. With yeast starter pitched at 65 degrees. Was good for 2 days. The air temp in the house spiked over nice with hot weather coming fermented at 77 degrees for less than 24 hours. Brought to a cooler location finished out fermentation at 65 degrees. I know the up and down of the...

I'm opening a nano brewery where consistency is everything. And I was looking for the formula to figure out if I over shoot on the bigger system the first few batches to be able to compensate. I know this seems like a brewing 101 question. But I haven't over shot yet but anything is possible!!!!

I understand that but if I was looking for consistence then.... I wouldn't want a high alcohol

Bump

This formula work on 5 or 10 bbl correct?

I'm starting a nano brewery and was wondering everyone's thoughts on using gelatin in a 3 BBL brite tank are??

If I use gelatin in my keg after dry hopping my beer with that scrub out some of the aromatics???

Is there a formula to calculate how much water to add to dilute your wort if you get a higher gravity then you were looking for?

The room I have will be temperature controlled. I know after a certain size you need glycol. I've been told a couple times that 1.5 barrels can be cooled by ambient but higher than that cannot. Just looking to see if there's any truth to this?

How about a 1.5 bbl fermentor. That should be able to be cooled by ambient air?
