5g NEIPA 5g Pilsner 5g Porter =79.75

I have 4 little big mouth fermenters. Currently have 3 gallons of mead brewing with one left for racking. I also like doing a 2.5 gallon batch, split it between two fermenters, then use different yeasts or dry hops to see the difference. I also have 3 one gallon kegs so I’m not bottling and can...

I wouldn’t. That’s not the haze you want, and those extra proteins give your dry hop oils more to latch onto which can make hop burn more prevalent.

Just kicked my Helles just in time for my Pilsner to be done. Now that I have an open fermenter I’m going to brew a Bock right on the Pilsner yeast cake. So far, the Bock smells nice and malty.

Cold crashed for 3 days and kegged, beer has lost almost all of the bite that plagued it before. Really tropical and fruity. Don’t have space in my keggerator so it’ll cold condition in the garage for a bit, but I have high hopes.

Campden is a necessity. Whirlfloc is a nice to have, though I always have some Irish moss for backup. I keep both well stocked

It’s really not sweet at all and seems to compliment the hop schedule. Its a great reddish DIPA. It’s not a recipe I made up FWIW, and I tried it in a few one gallon brews first, but it is one of my favorites and I’ll probably make it a few more times.

Apologies, first time posting in one of these

So I’ve got a NEIPA finishing right now, tried it out of the fermenter and it is like biting into a hop pellet. Not good. I moved the fermenter to my garage where it’s about 30 degrees to cold crash it for a few days. Hoping things will drop out of suspension before kegging. Plan after that is...

1 gallon each of: - Cherry Vanilla - Guave - Apple cider

Crystal 20. It’s definitely on the darker side, but nothing I haven’t seen in some commercial brews. It’s more of a red ipa, bordering in a clear purple. I don’t get too hung up on labels, the recipe calls it a DIPA, I just call it good, lol

LME, Fresh Squeezed clone from Norther Brewer. It was on sale for $20 last spring.

5 pounds I don't have the recipe in front of me, but it's basically the hop schedule of the 60 minute IPA. 20-25ish grams added at 60, 50, 40... down to 0 - then there's a big dry hop addition that I choose to put in during the whirlpool because I don't like how much it impacts my clarity. I...

There's A LOT of hops in this beer. I thought the same thing when I looked at the recipe, but dang if that sweetness balances just beautifully with the bitterness.

Another thing that can make it taste "off" is extracting tannins from the specialty grains. Err on the side of too low a temp when steeping grains.

Centennial is one of my favorite hops for single hopped beers. I have a super simple centennial DIPA on tap right now with 10lbs of pale malt and 5lbs of crystal and constantly hopped through the boil. TIL that Two Hearted is also one of these beers, which makes sense since it has been a beer...

Yeah, I picked up a kegerator, 4 kegs, a dozen taps, CO2 w/ regulator, and temp control for $400 off Facebook a while back. They tend to sit out there for a while too unless the price is crazy good (I got that one 3 weeks after it was posted originally for $500)

Same thing happened to me over the summer. Had a tasting of 6 different beers and the one that got the most praise was my extract beer I got from a kit.
