If you use earthy and spicy(uk first gold, galena) type hops for brewing, would it be meaningless to use a citrus or floral(centennial) type hop for dry hopping?

Great thanks guys. I was leaning toward Amarillo too but I might try centennial this time around.

I'm getting ready to brew my 6th batch and gonna do my first dry hopping. I can't decide what hop to get for dry hopping. I'm brewing a pale ale and want to get it as floral and citrus as possible.

I have a small stainless steel pot that I started out with to make my first few batches which can only brew half batches. I ordered what I thought was a bigger stainless steel pot but turned out to be aluminum. What are the disadvantages of using one or the other. Will aluminum effect the taste?

I can't believe Michael Morse didn't get the final All Star spot. He would have kill in the derby too.

Heading there now!!!

You don't need to necessarily transfer the wort twice in order to take a reading. Maybe I just misread your statement. Also if your basement isn't finished I suggest placing the fermentor on a towel folded up. Certainly not directly on the floor.

Very sad. The toy car in the condom piece was epic.

What I do with the batches I put fruit in is when I'm siphoning the beer into the bottling bucket I put a sanitized muslin bag over the tube. That catches most of the zest and fruit so I'm guessing it will work for dry hopping too

Ever use one of these? They are the greatest thing I have ever drink out of. Well worth the 40 bucks. http://www.brookstone.com/australian-beer-glass-set.html

Well I am on my 5th batch and he has only helped on the last two. Keeps him out of trouble if anything.

I saw on the site it's $30 for a 4 pack. Well worth it!

I don't have a newborn anymore but my 2 year old helps me put caps on my bottles and box them up. He "helps daddy make beer".

BUMP... I kinda have the same question.

Any other Nats fans here? I wont blame anyone who doesn't want to admit it.

What a freaking game!!!

To me wort is always nasty looking. I would just go ahead and pitch the yeast.

Usa usa!!!

Yea sounds like a cruddy fermentation to me. The honey ale I made last month turned out well. Not to rub it in...
