I added some hops at hop stand too. added at hopstand Mosaic 2 oz Galaxy 3 oz Amarillo 3 oz Citra 2 oz added during primary at day 1 Mosaic 3 oz Citra 3 oz I wasn't planning on adding any after fermentation but I might need to. I usually do 7 to 10 days in the fermenter then cold...

I think I should start researching things before I do it. For some reason I like to do it then research of I did the right thing or not. :ban: So, I brewed 10 gallons of a NEIPA last night and had noticeable fermentation this morning. I have only dry hopped on the secondary before but...

Thanks for your help with the brew. The beer before I added the raspberries was brewed fine, just super bland. Adding the raspberries has been a great addition. My wife likes it a lot and so did a few guest that stopped by. It is certainly geared for the females but I had a few glasses if it...

Do you have to boil the juice or just dump it in?

I like to idea of the bag of frozen raspberries. How much tart do you think I am going to get from that? I also like the adding a few oz of citra hops to give it a acidity bump. The grain is very close to a pale ale that I do that's solid. Maybe I should do both?

I brewed a blond a while back and it really didn't turn out too good IMO. I mostly brew pale ales so I used a pale ale malt as my base with some other caramelized malt as well. It turned out to be very bland with only Carmel as the flavor. A little too sweet for my taste. I was going to dump...

Thank you. I feel fairly dumb now but at least my final gravity is better than I thought. It read 1.012. I am not sure if you can check kegged brew like that but my wheat read 1.010. I completely forgot about that. I've taken a couple of years off of brewing and I have only done a few...

So far the two 10 gallon batches I have brewed have not turned out as well as I would have liked. I'm having a tough time with my final gravity. It is pretty high at 1.030, measured with a refractometer. With a post boil gravity of 1.055, I am under 4 % alcohol. I had the same problem with...

Digging this thread out from the grave. I purchased a blichmann therminator a few months ago when I upgraded to 10g batches and have used it 3 times. After each use, I rinse it out I with about 5 gallons of water and back flush the same amount. Then I submerge the terminator in a few gallons...

It looks like I need to use two packs of yeast and do it in two steps. I still need to decant off the liquid after step one, right?

haha, it barely fits when it is turned sideways. I am certainly running out of counter space now when i am cleaning my equipment.

Thanks for your advice. I held off on the brew and went on vacation. While on vacation, I ordered me a 5000L flask and a 2000L flask, plus 3 lbs of dme and another pack of yeast. Time to do my first yeast starter. I guess I am going to use both packs of yeast and extra dme in the 5L flask...

I've recently started doing 10g batches all grain and for yeast, I just buy 2 packs. This past order, I just bought one pack of yeast and was going to do a starter. Well the DME was left out and I was really wanting to brew tomorrow since I am going out of town in a couple of days and I wanted...

Well it has been over a month and wanted to post and update. I brewed a blah Rye Pale Ale (5g) as a starter batch since it has been a while. I am glad I did. I made the bonehead mistake of adding grain and water to the mash tune without the false bottom. Needless to say, that sucked. I...

That's actually where I ordered my kettle and plate chiller from. I'll look into ordering a few recipes from them again in the future. It is a little far away but maybe I just need to buy in bulk from them. Great idea. I have thought about stocking up in a lot of 2 row and other grains. I...

Hello. I've been homebrewing since about 2007 but I took 1 1/2 years off when I found out I was having a second set of twins. (yes, that's right) I've been all grain brewing for many years now. My current set up is very simple and basic. 4 gallon kettle for HLT 10 gallon mast tun cooler w/...

I was at Costco today and noticed this stand with 3 burners. It doesn't look like a bad deal but I am not 100% sure that it will hold the kettles. I can always build a wooden frame to hold it up if I need to. Does anybody own this? I wonder if it will work for 10g batches with some minor...

]I am looking for a brew stand that can handle 10 gallon batches and came across this one from Gander Mountain. Looks like a solid stand for about $200. I am sure I can figure out a way to get a third burner on there or just use a deep fryer burner. Has anybody used this stand as a brew...
