For bittering purposes if you do extract recipes you can increase your hops utilization by adding the bulk of the LME/DME at the end of the boil. Depending on the recipes you can save up a good amount of hops. This is only for the bittering with hops. I don't know/think that it makes a...

I've read that one quite a few times already, but is it just the "common knowledge" or are there any real studies on the subject?

would you mind sharing you recipe or hops schedule?

Your kidding right? The BJCP was founded in 1985... 2008 is the date of the latest review of the guidelines.

Who removed the Black IPA style? Must not be talking about the BJCP since it's not even an official style (yet?). Just curious :)

What yeast did you use? First time I brewed with whitelab 001 left me with a pleasent surprise when i saw the huge krausen.

So I'm planning to brew a blonde ale with Chinook as the single hop in it. I'd like to do that so I get a good idea of what Chinook contribute as the hops in my recipes. I was wondering if other people had experiences with Chinook in a single hop beer and how they like it. I read that it's a...

John Palmer is a must. Every pages are wort(h) reading. I learned everything to get started and feel confortable. Then i started reading here and I learn new stuff everyday. Dont hesitate to read it more than once. It took me a few read to fully understand all the processes.

im from canada, that might be it.

40 bucks of shipping for 6 glasses :(

So I'm interested in buying some beer glasses. The ones I own are old, ugly, odd shaped and cannot even contain a 12oz bottle. I bottle my beer in 12oz bottles. Good shape for me when I come back from work. I was wondering, what size of glasses should I buy if I want to pour my beer...

It is, and this is why I carbed to 2.3 (In Britain they also serves it as low as 1.5 if I read correctly). But my problem was that it didn't feel like 2.3 in my bottle. I was not complaining that I don't like the low carb ;)

Little south of me, but I'll sure make sure to see if we are able to go visit something there and stop by the place before we return to time square. Thank for the sugestion :)

Hey just to let you know guys, storing in the fridge for 2 days made the difference! When I open my bottle the "Psshh" is less strong, so I guess that also mean I lost less CO2 ;)

Right :) sorry for the confusion ;)

This makes a lot more sense now :) I wasn't aware of this method, I just though you were talking about partially cooling the wort, which I though wasn't a good advice in general for someone that doesn't know about it! I'll have to read about it now, thanks for making me loose (not) my time...

Hey thank for your answer guys! Yeah Heartland is the street right behind me! I might not stick to time square but it should remain close since we only stay a few days so we don't want to travel half of the time.

Maybe just change the person who this gift is for and choose a "less loved" one ;)

I don't have much experience but in my last batch (which I haven't tested yet heh) I added hops at 5 min before flameout and will dry hops for 5 days. Hopefully this will give me a nice hops aroma in my APA.

I don't think partially cooling is a good idea. In a certain temperature range the wort is susceptible to bacteria and oxidation.
