Still wondering how it turned out

Anyone had any luck brewing this with a lager yeast and which one? Thanks

Was wondering hoe your porter turned out?

I also brewed this recently and it came out very thin with bad head retention. Like above it is on nitro and good head out of tap but died almost immediately. Tastes like a coffee thin dry stout. Very good but I was hoping for a more complex creamy brew. Weird thing is, final gravity was...

How did the porter turn out? I am looking for a good complex robust porter recipe. Thanks, T

Yeah, super dry. Huntington Beach, wouldn't think it would be that dry. Maybe I'm boiling too hard but it looks like a rolling boil to me.

So today I did a boil off experiment to see exactly how much boil off I have in one hour because my BeerSmith numbers weren't coming out correct. I had previously calculated about 1.25 gallons per hour but could never check because my chiller displaced water at the end of the boil. Today I...

I have yooper's oatmeal stout in the fermenter now and will be kegging this Saturday. My wife wanted us to brew an IPA quickly after to get it on tap too--- and suggested that we brew on Xmas day. Great irish wife I have. Having no kids helps I guess. Happy Hollidays.

As I, and many of you all, endlessly peruse different forums about beer, I keep hearing reference to Columbus hops being piney. I don't really get it. When I've used Columbus hops I think resiny, herbal but not pine. Chinook and Simco yes, but never really gotten Pine from Columbus. I know this...

I was just thinking of subbing the Vienna for light munich, any good or bad experiences with munich in IPAs?

Thanks for all the good advice everyone. I will report back with a taste review when it's done for any who want to know. T

Cool thanks for the advice. I know the 60 min bittering addition is low but I was hoping the 1st wort hops and all the rest make up for it because beersmith calcs come out to 70 IBUs. I added all the hops I wanted first, then just added the 60 min last to bring it to the IBU I wanted...

Trying to write a good American IPA recipe and appreciate advice. I have never used Vienna, and also don't really know what carapils does for IPA but see it in a lot of recipes. Last one I did was just 2row pale and victory but something was missing. Also never used centennial with columbus...

I brewed this today and can't wait to taste it. Had to use wlp005 and blackprinz subs so we will see.

Thanks

Hey Yooper, I'm going to be brewing this your stout this Sunday, but my local homebrew shop does not carry black barley stout. I was thinking of using black Blackprinz 500 instead, what do you think? Reading the description, sounds like it would be an ok sub. Also, no wyeast so I was thinking...

I was just using the beersmith gypsum default. I was going to use half a teaspoon. All great advice, more dry hops it is. Thanks everyone

Brew day coming up soon and wanted a good IPA. I wrote this recipe and wondered if anyone wants to throw out any advice. I've never used munich and don't know if it will work or how much. Also never used these hops in this combination. Sock it to me.. Batch Size: 6.00 gal Style: American...

Most of you probably have this problem fixed, but I have been looking for a long time for a CO2 cylinder holder/stand and couldn't find a good one that fit in the space I have. (For my extra cylinder for purging etc.). I ended up buying a Christmas tree stand which actually works perfectly...
