    Bourbon Barrel Porter: Malt went in 45 mins early! Did I screw it up?!

    Ok sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the replies. Let me try and clarify... I added all malt extract at the start of boil. 2lbs dry malt and 6.3 lbs dark malt extract. I was supposed to add the dark malt extract at the 45min mark (15mins remaining). However in that process I also forgot...

    Bourbon Barrel Porter: Malt went in 45 mins early! Did I screw it up?!

    I’m brewing my Bourbon Barrel porter from NB. I had 2lbs dry wheat extract and 6.3 lbs liquid Malt extract. I didn’t notice that it said to put in Hops and the liquid Dark Malt Extract at the 45 mins point for last 15 mins of boil. How will this affect my brew?? :( obviously it’s too late to...

    Which NE Hazey Beer to get?

    Yea I need more experience before venturing too much. I’ve brewed about 12-15 batches. But I haven’t ventured too often. I want to get this one just right. Hazey IPA on tap at home?? Yes please!!! By the way, do you think this recipe is worth just replicating at my local brew store? It’s steep...

    Which NE Hazey Beer to get?

    ABV won’t change the flavor though right? I can reduce the extract. I just don’t want to mess the recipe up tho!

    Which NE Hazey Beer to get?

    I found this one with mosaic, el Dorado and Citra Hops. You think this would be closer to N00b!? https://www.homebrewsupply.com/tropic-haze-nedipa-extract-recipe-kit.html

    Does this look bad?

    It's been fermenting since father's day. 2 weeks in primary and 3 weeks in secondary. The hydro meter showed 1.012 and 5.5% ABV. It was done by I wonder if it collected gas in the top and I stuck my nose in and took a big wiff!! After a few days in keg it's pretty good. Needs a bit more time...

    Does this look bad?

    OK well when I first took a big sniff I coughed because it was so pungent. I think I just took a sniff of the gas sitting in the top of the fast ferment. Because I then tried some and it wasn't bad but not great. Definitely not skunked. But hopefully it'll get better over time in the keg. It's...

    Should I dry hop my brown?

    Hello there, I recently brewed the Caribou slobber brown ale from Northern Brewer. I have some extra Simcoe hops in the freezer. It's from another recipe. I'm curious if it would be worth adding as a dry hop into the brown out? Or with just that throw all the flavors off for that beer? Thanks...

    Dry Hopping in FastFerment

    I have a quick question: I have my Dead Ringer NB IPA fermenting in my fast ferment. It's been in there for 5 weeks. At week 2 I took the collection ball off, cleaned it, put it back on. So I've been in secondary for 3 weeks. It's time to dry hop for a week. Should I change out the collection...

    I have a two keg system. I want to make it three...what do I need?

    No joke! How about I try that. If my wife and kids argue, well I'll send them your way! Nice thing is, I made a poker table a long time ago that is in the room next to this one, so we have poker nights and it's pretty nice being down there. Also I have a section of my counter-top that is...

    I have a two keg system. I want to make it three...what do I need?

    Also to respond direct to your cleaning lines. I use a water pump I bought from Harbor Freight and a plug my growler filler up directly to that, then take off my ball lock and put the end of the hose back into the water container with the water pump. First I pump PBW/Oxy-Clean through the...

    Thank you for your help Revkev! Your tower is looking good! Is that a nitro tap faucet you added? This is very helpful and exactly what I am after! Johnny, great point. However, my current tower is smack in the middle of the top of my keezer. You can see it in this picture attached. If I...
