Well, I did brew this and the brew went....meh. When I originally entered the hop schedule off the recipes I had found, my IBUs were 130. I hadn't yet changed the amounts based on the Alpha Acids of my actual hops. Plus I realized that I needed to adjust the hop amounts to the net bittering...

I've entered my version of this into BS2 and will be brewing this tomorrow after church. I'm hopeful it turns out like the original. I spent a lot of time travelling to south Florida for work (ugh) and the thought of this beer is one of the few things that made the trips bearable. I *hope*...

Roger that. I'll try to do some hard work for the science of it all. I'll figure out what to do with the 'sample' after I have photographed it.

OK, maybe not purple purple, but it has a hue that has bothered me for awhile now. Here is the recipe: Accumulator White IPA: 19 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 70.4 % 6 lbs White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 3 22.2 % 2 lbs Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 4 7.4 % 1.25 oz...

I know this was over a year ago but wonder if you got any definitive answers, or at least ones you are more sure of. I just had a similar situation from the weekend. Here is a little of what happened to me: I brewed a milk stout on Saturday (11-15-14) using a White Lab 004 Irish Ale yeast...

Thanks wikki for asking and thanks Yooper for answering. This is just the question and answer I was looking for. I have been lager my World's Best Oktoberfest all summer and am now ready to bottle it. I usually keg, but I brewed this batch specifically for a friend and want to bottle it for...

I had a similar scenario and my wheat ale turned out very Belgish (not what I was looking for). It was a harvest of Bell's yeast. I got some advice from some gurus at my brew club who said they thought I over stressed it by starting it so quickly. I did a 1.8L starter. The suggested...

I have been looking around for the right forum to post this by searching for this in almost all of them. I haven't landed on the perfect place for it so here I am. On my local homebrew forum (http://www.mashfortwayne.org/) someone mentioned how many times they have brewed. I have never kept...

I did pretty much the same thing this morning. Then I finished building my stir plate this afternoon... I'm curious to see the impact of over pitching yeast. I plan on harvesting the yeast when this latest brew is done. Should I be worried about the condition of the yeast, i.e. it's health for...

I decided to go ahead and see where it ends up. I pitched some WLP002 to see what happens. It smelled really bad to me when I opened up the carbouy. I don't know how to identify smells but this was not a good smell. Probably had a bacteria rather than a wild yeast. Well, we'll see what...

I and two fellow brewers did a Zombie Dust clone last weekend. One buddy was going to do a yeast starter that the three of us were going to pitch into it at some point later in the week. Well, all three of our clone brews started to ferment to one degree or another. It's not a vigorous...
