i have been hooking 2 chillers together. the first chiller ( attached to city water) goes in a bucket with 20 pounds of ice (have to keep adding). the second chiller goes in my wort so ice cold water is running through. i can get the temperature from 214 down to about 68 in about 15 to 20...

10 gal MT, 10 gal kettle with natural gas, 2 chillers-one in bucket for ice connected to one that goes in kettle, brewdog, paddle with volume measurements, conical

My wife bought me a conical for my birthday. Named it R2D2. Likes to go into the brewlab and tell me : "R2 is doing his job monitoring the fermentation. The force is with us."

SWMBO loves to measure out the hops. We were fighting over a new packet to get the first smell and she smacked me and yelled- "Get your nose out of my Chinook!"

Wow, you did a lot of good work on that, thanks. I will take your alls advice. I appreciate it. I will report back as to how it tastes. T

Maybe this:? IBU 66 0.25oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.0%] - First Wort Hop 0.75 oz Nugget [13.0%] - Boil 60 min 1.00 Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15 min) 0.5 oz Cascade [5.5%] - Boil 12 min 0.5 oz Chinook [13.0%] - Boil 12 min 0.5 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.0%] - Boil 12 min 0.5 oz Cascade [5.5%] -...

How did your cascade chinook columbus IPA turn out?

Do you think adding some Columbus late would be too many different types of Hops?

So I think I have settled on the almost finished recipe below for Sunday brew day. Only thing is that I want the total IBUs around 60-65 so I need to add some bitterness somewhere. I don't want the final taste too piney. I have extra columbus, nugget, cascade. Was thinking of FWH with...

Hooked up the CO2 to my new conical and cranked the temperature down to cold crash my first brew in my new conical. Exciting.

The waiting 10 min was in the original recipe before I started messing with it. I didn't know what it does for the taste/aroma, maybe a mini whirlpool?

I just realized that if I follow directions and wait 10 min after flameout before chilling, then my 12 min additions are really like 22min flavor additions. Does it work that way ? Then is my Simcoe flameout addition more like a 10 min, and going to add flavor as well as aroma?

Thanks Yooper, I was also worried that such a large amount of the IBUs came from the bitter charge but that's how the original recipe went so I was going to try it. I think I will do as you said and decrease the nugget 60 min and increase the late hop additions to get the same IBU. I was also...

I'm trying my hand at writing my 1st IPA recipe--- well not really. I took a Hop Stoopid (which i love) recipe I found, and decreased the ABV and IBU trying to make it a little easier for general consumption (wife, etc). Anyone have an opinion about this morphed recipe? Especially wondering...

Question for those of you who dry hop in the keg. I have never dry hopped this way and know that many of you do, I was wondering if you put the Hops in a weighted bag on a string and dry hop for 5-7-10 days at room temperature, then pull the bag out, carb and refrigerate? I get the impression...

Have most people been doing a 90 min boil on this?

I was just wondering what you all usually use as your total amount of time in fermenter (Primary alone for those of you who don't secondary or primary and secondary total) For APA versus IPAs? Thanks

Cleaned the keg and lines my dry irish stout was in. Dumped the trub in my new conical.

Thanks everyone, good food for thought. T
