    Home Brew Comp ?

    Yo! Have an imperial stout that is 1 week on cocoa nibs and vanilla(tastes awesome). About to brew a session IPA for Dry Docks home brew comp in March. Need to bottle a little bit of both soon. I have 1 keg. How do you guys bottle part and keg the rest without oxidation issues? I've seen...

    Coffee with Creme Stout

    You'll definitely get plenty of good roasted flavor with 1lb. I bet it'll turn out really good. I've never used coffee malt but it sounds delicious!

    Coffee with Creme Stout

    I just brewed an imperial stout with 1.5lbs roasted barley and it has a lot of roast malt flavor. Not excessive but I wouldn't do more on my next batch. 2lbs of rb and 2lbs of 160l seems like a lot.

    Off Flavor - Oxidation?

    My last 2 IPA brews have been MUCH better than previous attempts. That "off flavor" has not made an appearance. Kegging has helped as well as skipping secondary and dry hopping in a well purged keg. I do cold crash, it's hard not too when you don't secondary. Both IPA's were session beers so...

    Firestone Walker Wookey Jack Clone Attempt

    New issue of Zymurgy has a recipe for Wookey. Very close to this recipe. I need to brew this one again. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Off Flavor - Oxidation?

    So glad I found this thread, so I can vent. I'm having this EXACT issue with my IPAs and it's super Fn frustrating! Last week I bottled a black rye IPA (Wookey jack clone). It tasted amazing when I racked to secondary and on bottling day. The rye came through, hop flavor and aroma was awesome...

    Firestone Walker Wookey Jack Clone Attempt

    First DH addition after fermentation is complete. I brewed this recipe last Saturday and plan on on adding my first DH this Tuesday (10 days). Then racking to secondary and the 2nd dh on fri or sat. Bottling the 3rd week.

    Firestone Walker Wookey Jack Clone Attempt

    I think you would enter the rye as a "base malt". I brewed this on Saturday and added 5grams gypsum to the mash and 4 to the sparge water. Didn't have time for a starter so pitched 2 packets of S-04. Expensive brew but I think it'll be worth it! Thanks for the recipe!

    Rye malt.

    Brewing a Black rye ipa tomorrow and plan on doing some water adjustments. Plugging my ingredients into brun water. Is rye malt considered base, crystal or roast malt??

    Firestone Walker Wookey Jack Clone Attempt

    Finally gonna brew this mofo tomorrow. Went to dry dock (brew hut) after work today and they had everything except the cararye. I bumped the rye by .25lbs and added .25lbs crystal 60. Hopefully that's okay?? Will post results and most likely some drunken jibber jabber.

    Anybody got a good red ipa recipe?

    Search for the tread - Marble Red Ale from "For the Love of Hops". It has an all grain recipe of their red ale. Marble makes awesome beers.

    Water Report help

    Exactly what I was looking for, thanks guys! I'm playing around with Bru'n water now, it's a bit confusing. I plan on brewing this weekend so I'm sure I'll have more questions! Thanks again

    Water Report help

    Hello! Just received my water report from Ward Lab (see below). First of all, how does it look? I've had a hard time making a decent IPA and I'm hoping my water can help shed some light. I've made recipes that really focus on hop flavor/aroma but they really don't come through - just...

    How to get the best hop aroma from flameout additions?

    Great thread! Brewing an IPA this weekend and I'm thinking about lowing my 60min addition, doing 1oz @ 10 and 5, and 3 @ Flameout. Too bad brewing calculators don't adjust your IBU's (even if it's a small amount) for the flameout additions.

    Another IPA critique

    I planned on adding the 3oz at flameout and letting steep (hot) for 30min (maybe 20) then wort chiller. Should I whirlpool after chilling? I've never whirlpooled. Makes me a little nervous having the wort sit there that long after boil. I like the ideas of doubling the 5min addition and...

    Another IPA critique

    Hey everyone - I've been disappointed with my last couple IPA's and want to give it another go. My past IPA's were bitter and really didn't showcase the flavor/aroma hops I was going for. I'm starting to suspect my water might be part of the problem, but I'm going to go down that road for the...

    Newbie Water questions

    Maybe I should brew with my tap water and use the camden tablet? Then address the other stuff once I have my report. That could be the cause of my "off flavors". Would chloramine affect hop flavor/aroma?

    Newbie Water questions

    All-grain. A "hopbursted" IPA. Thanks for the link and help! Going to give it a go with the RO water - a little nervous. I'll hit you guys up once I have my water report back.
