New hop schedule..dropped me to 20 IBU...I wanted something even lighter than a session IPA.. .75 cascade at 60 .50 cascade at 15 .75 cascade at 0 1.00 simcoe dry hop for 7 days 1.00 cascade dry hop for 7 days

Hmmmm maybe I'll try to bring the IBUs down a touch more...I never used them but I know they have a good citrus aroma which is why I want to dry hop them

I'm doing 1# of pale ale malt 1# of crystal 10L and .5 # of Pilsner with one pack of safale 05

Honestly that's a solid question...I only bottle 12oz bottles and if I end up with one that's half full I just drink the warm uncarbed beer...I call it the sacrificial lamb haha tho I'm sure it'll carb up ok regardless

Glad it all went smooth this time around! It's a lot of trial and error half the fun of it is making mistakes (as long as the finished product is drinkable) and being excited to not make the mistake again! Can't wait to hear back in a few weeks!! [emoji482]

No it's fine you can either clean out the airlock or look into a blow off tube and just rub it from the space the airlock was into a bucket of sanitized water and let it bubble away!

It can't be! I am half! Haha [emoji23]

Haha that's what we call an "Irish hand grenade" weather it's a forgotten beer or just one that you left under your bed for when **** hits the fan...grab it..crack it..down it..and hope for the best Hahaha

I'm not sure how it works...im lucky enough that a friend I brew with also owns a natural foods store...he recently got a wholesale account with BSG...as far as I know there is no set weight we have to meet but I'm getting my hops for $1 an oz...we are just 3 guys doing 5 gallon partial mashes...

I named it Lieutenant Dank..bc when I open the closet all I smell are those Dank hops haha..love to hear your ideas tho! I'm not sure the cut off of a session I was just thinking since it's such a low ABV for a DIPA it would've like a session..but I agree with the responses that it can be...

It should be done in a few weeks but I'll def stay posted as to what I'm looking at...right now it's super Dank and it's the first beer I had to use a blowoff tube bc she was cookin big time! I still have 3oz of citra (on top of the 5.75oz total in the boil) to dry hop so I'm guessing the aroma...

In a close second is Xingu...a bar near me has a beer passport where you get to drink beers from all over the world and when you get 32 beers you get a free t-shirt...people do this over months or even years...since me and my friends are pure geniuses we decide to do this in one day...xingu...

The official beer of the clam... Narragansett

Using Irish moss is useless

Indeed..and beer is the ultimate goal! [emoji482]

Amen to that! Hopefully I'll want to finish it in one session!

I figured...just not sure I ever seen a session with such high bitters haha

Brew log is a good app you can use too and it's free! You can use those hops at 60 15 10 and 0 then dry hop depending on their AA, style of beer, hop flavor profile, etc. but you can use that app to plug on different ideas to get the OG, color, and IBU you want...keep us posted!! Good luck...

Just brewed what I thought was gonna be an all citra IPA with an IBU of around 75-80...being the smartest guy in the room as always...I misread my original hop schedule I added my 15 minute hops at 45...jumping things up juuuust a bit to 111 IBU which is DIPA, Imperial territory...but the ABV is...

It's like eggs...every year it changes weather they are good or bad for you haha
