I got a tilt recently and this is my first full brew using it. I actually threw it in on my last beer but when it came in the mail fermentation was complete so it just sat at FG for a few days and wasn't very exciting. I'm an engineer (nerd) and was excited about getting data more often and...

If OP is in Iowa and needs help with consumption we might have something here

I use BIAB. I took the sample from the wort in the kettle prior to boiling. Cooled it until it was between 60-70 (I wasn't super precise but the adjustment in that range isn't more than a point from what I've seen (probably within the range of my eyes ability to read a hydrometer lol). Not...

Forgot about updating the the last couple batches so catching up... 1192 + 5 gallons "New" WC IPA 5 gallons amber ale 5 gallons blonde ale = 1207 gallons

I know I know. I need to get my kids to drop some activities….and teach them to brew lol

I have the opposite issue I think. I just started brewing this year and I envisioned having multiple different HBs to choose from. Instead I have brewed about every chance I could (Just finished my 5th 5 gallon batch this weekend) and for the most part haven't have much overlap at all between...

I brewed a Blonde Ale this weekend. I've brewed about half a dozen batches so far and other than the first batch (learning experience) I've done a pretty good job nailing OG. I had a bit of an issue this weekend though and have a question on adjusting. A little background to help with the...

I really wanted to brew this weekend to get enough in for an upcoming graduation party but have been really busy and was supposed to go to in laws for Easter. Then found out middle son didn’t turn in his schedule for days he can’t work and got scheduled today so I volunteered to stay back...

Basically the first post here… American IPA - The New West Coast IPA And I love these glasses but they are easy to go through. I’m down to two of my second set of 4

My latest HB and my third batch. WC IPA. This one keeps getting better the longer it goes

Gave it another try tonight and it’s getting good. The bitterness is definitely there now but still lots of citra hops. Still not as clear as the others in the thread but there’s a couple things there I already know to work on next time. Flavor is really good though. There a bit of a harsh...

It’s Monday. Not sure if I’d say it’s grey. Also a bit low on homebrew and trying to keep some available for family Easter gathering

To start with I was going to keep fermenting in my carboy. I have a couple glass carboys to ferment in and part of me likes being to look at the beer in the fermenter (It’s not doing anything but my brain likes it. The down side like you said for right now I can only get two kegs and a carboy...

This is a bit of a tangent but related to discussion in here. Do you guys take the same approach to dry hopping for NEIPAs (soft crash the dry hop “cool” then cold crash) for any IPA or any dry hop? Now that I have the ability to control temp and keg I’m going to practice process on...

Wait they multiply? How do I make that happen? Connect gas post to liquid?

I told myself I had spent enough on getting into brewing and I would bottle for the first year but then damn these came in the mail today. No idea how that happened.

I just picked up a Criterion 7.0 at Menards for 198. On sale until April 8. Never heard of the brand but can confirm 4 ball locks fit on the floor

Look at what you people made me do! I’m joking it was going to happen eventually anyway. Now next weekend a “practice run” with something easier and a couple weeks after that the real thing. I’ve picked up a lot regarding closed transfers/kegging etc reading this and other threads, but...

It was still very hazy. I’m a tad nervous it won’t clear well. Had a couple issues during the brew. I’ll try again in a week

I brewed this a bit ago. Really needs another week of conditioning before it's ready but I got impatient and chilled one bottle yesterday to give it a try. It's a little green but I really liked it, but it was different than I expected. It was a lot more NEIPA flavor wise than WC...
