Questions: 1) Wheat and oak flakes: does it make sense in a in IPA in that quantity? These only make sense if you have the goal of increasing the creaminess of the mouthfeel 2) Would I notice the grain bill mashing at 61C or at that temperature I should just not care too much about special...

Triple Pearl- https://www.hopunion.com/triplepearl/ Released 2013 USDA-ARS. Pleasant, mellow aroma with notes of orange-citrus, orange rind/zest, resin, spicy, and slight pepper. Yakima Gold- https://www.hopunion.com/yakima-gold/ Released WSU 2013, Cross of Early Cluster and Slovenian...

I don't think you will see any difference at all. I have since moved back to 60 minute boils for most of my beers without issue. Cheers, Tim

Wow! Congrats that's a fantastic score! What category did you enter it in!

You can go either way.The dark malt is mostly there for color The black patent flavor is just noticeable at the low rate of use, lending a bit of a roasty note. With the Blackpriz, you will get a bit less of that-maybe smoother? I have used Carafa II (de-husked), and Chocolate malt in place of...

So I was at the Hood River Hops Fest in October and was chatting with the reps from HopUnion. They flowed me 8 oz each of Triple Perle and Yakima Gold hops...very cool. So now they are calling out to me. Has anyone used these hops? Not much out there on the interwebs...

OK, well I have no experience with Brewer's Gold but what I might do is move the flameout addition of Saaz to around 5 min and be done with it.

That looks like a fun beer to try out. I think it looks good as is, at least good enough for a trial brew. I am lucky enough to have moved into the commercial realm recently and we just did a 100% Red X red pale ale. It is really delicious. My IRA is ever evolving, and if you are willing to...

That hopping schedule will be good in a cream ale. You will get a more distinct aroma from Saaz compared with Hallertau. If you have ever had Pilser Urquell, that is all Saaz.

Fantastic Charlie, I am so glad you are enjoying the recipe and all its adaptability. Cheers, Tim

I use Mt Hood. It's basically a NW Hallertau variety. I do 15 IBU at 60 min and 5 IBU at 15 min.

" Modelo Especial is a pilsner-style lager whose original recipe was first brewed in Mexico in 1925, under the vision to create a ‘model’ beer. Since its introduction to the U.S. in the 1990s, Modelo Especial has grown organically from the ground up, gaining its status from below via...

Just warm the vial, shake it up, sanitize, open the cap and dump the yeast into your chilled wort.

Fun, informative read. Thanks for sharing a totally different world with us!

Yes, you can use the C-60. I would just use that as the replacement for the C-40 and C-90. Caramunich II is pretty close to 60L too, so you could use that too. I use the light colored and hoppy profile on Brewer's Friend for all my hoppy beers. I know this is not a light colored beer, but it...

I brew with guys who have added both Reisling and Muscat to secondary. The resulting beers were amazing. I'm getting Pinot Gris grapes this weekend to add to a Trippel. I find Belgian styles lend themselves well to white wine grape additions.

My Wet hop beer turned out spectacular with the Full Pint malt and Imperial Yeast Pub (London ESB/English Ale) yeast. Steinbarts did not get Centennial, but replaced with fresh Amarillo! The malt does lend a mild salted popcorn aroma (as described above ) that is very pleasing. The yeast was a...

Looks like a fun side project... brewing one growler at a time:) So you mashed at 160? Looks like a pale ale recipe? I use my crock pot for immersion cooking and hooked up a PID temp controller to it, I had not thought of using it as a micro mash tun.

What I would do is to shake it well, barely open the lid to let the pressure off, then cover the can with some sanitized foil. This should be sufficient to keep any contaminants out of the yeast and allow the yeast to warm up to pitch temps. The can is pretty small, and if you put it in a warm...

Yep, Steinbarts. Michael at Steinbart's saw me eyeing the Full Pint bin, and asked me to take a nibble. He said he did a beer with it that got great extract and was super tasty. He's the man, so I was sold. The Imperial yeast is great. My 12 gallon batch of APA took off in hours with no...
