I've used Citra in two of mine and was not happy with either. I'm not sure if I'm just not a Citra guy, or if I may have a bad batch of Citra. They smell and look fine, so I'm thinking the former. My best batch to date was Columbus, galaxy, Simcoe, Amarillo. Not sure on the ratios, I'd have...

Use S04 instead.

I used S04, one pack rehydrated, and it was the best batch out of four that I did so far. Just used it again on one on Tuesday and am hoping for the same results.

Well as for the fermentation temperature and all the brewing mechanics, I can almost positively rule that out. I'm a bit of an OCD person and when it comes to brewing, that end of it is all identical. The three batches I did before using the cryo hops did not have this effect, except for one...

Has anyone who used cryo hops is n these ever noticed a chalky/dryness in the back of your throat when drinking the finished product? Almost like a slight burn or something. I used 3 ounces of cryo in my last batch (2.5 Oz in the whirlpool and a half ounce in dry hops) and I noticed this. It...

I've been looking to try the hop shots, just haven't gotten there yet. I used some cryo hops for the first time in yesterday's batch for my whirlpool. Well, 2 1/2 ounces worth anyway.

I stick with his process as well. I keep all his Columbus additions the same and just tweak the other hops from there. First time I made it, I used the same Columbus additions and no other hops until dry hopping. I tasted it before dry hopping and it was a fabulous base recipe with just the...

Yes and weirdly, that's what I like about theirs. The grain bill on this thread didn't give me that, so I substituted in some biscuit and I got that grainy-ness to it, though not quite enough so I added a bit more to yesterday's batch. I am grain to glass in a week with these, and they are...

Okay we had the party last night. My batch was almost the exact same color as Summer Street. My batch also won at being better in a blind tasting. My brother said the trillium may have had a bit more aroma, but that was it. Now, to be fair, the Trillium was canned on March 23rd, so it did...

I give mine to my chickens and ducks. They go ape poop over them.

Last one of these I brewed turned out to be almost exactly like Trillium Summer Street. May have a slightly lighter mouthfeel to it. Haven't really been touching it as I am saving it for a party this weekend, so I will have a better idea then. I believe I have a buddy who still has some...

Sorry for the double post. My phone was being stupid

I was referring to the method in this post. I've brewed two so far and both times I used, I believe, an ounce of Columbus at 60 and the remaining hops at the end.

Stupid question I'm sure, but I was out of the home brewing game for quite awhile. You guys are saying you are hop bursting 15-FO. Are you using regular hop pellets to do this? Or the co2 extract stuff?

My brew hit the keg Saturday night and is force carbing now. I sampled it last night. There is a lot of hop flavor, but not exactly the pine I was looking for. Weird thing is, the after flavor, or flavor when you burp is pure pine. The flavor when drinking it is more dank/earthy. I'm...

Those using the colona, what size cork are you using with them? #8 or #9?

Thanks for the replies! As of now, I have the capper/corker below. I got this to use on Belgian bottles, but never even used it yet. Id rather not buy a new corker yet as I'm not sure if I will be getting into wine full time yet. However, that is certainly cheap enough and if it works as you...

Getting ready to do my first wine. Did many beer batches with no real issues. I'm looking at getting Green Bordeaux bottles from Label Peelers (no longer into scraping labels and the such) and can't for the life of me figure out what size cork I need for these bottles. Any help would be...

I was searching for this myself recently for a batch I made this past weekend. Ended up buttering with Columbus (not for pine) and added 10 ounces total at 15 minutes, 10, minutes, and 5 minutes of Chinook and Simcoe. Hoping to take a gravity reading tomorrow or Thursday so I can post...
