That's what I was thinking. I picked up a few from the top and they were semi-damp but who knows. I'm not that worried, it tastes fine and at works I guess I wasted an ounce of hops? I'm more concerned about getting the technique down correctly so I can do it better next time.

How many times have you checked gravity? Generally rule of thumb is that if it's been at the same reading for 3 days straight your beer has finished fermenting. At this point I don't know if there is really anything you can do. I'd let it sit a few more days and check the reading again, if...

So I dry hopped for the first time....my LHBS recommended 2 oz ofwhole leaf (which I've never used before) and when I asked about bagging with a weight he said, "Nah if you're using a bucket just toss them in." So that's what I did. I let it sit for 7 days and opened my bucket and saw...

5 - Kolsch 5- Vienna Red 5- Nut Brown Ale 5 - Citra Pale Ale 28,682 + 20 = 28,702

Not sure if you'd call it an IPA or just a really hoppy American Pale ale....anyways after close to to a month fermenting I bottled yesterday. 1.059 OG 1.011 FG. One of the bottles cracked while I was capping so I poured the non-carbonated beer into a snifter to get a look at the color (it...

I'm with ya. Bottled yesterday and it turned into a very frustrating affair. Had to replace tubing....auto-siphon got clogged from the dry hops....then bottling wand broke during the first bottle (had to regulate with the handle on the tap)...because of that the little "air" hole in front of...

Wyeast makes an Irish Red yeast but I'm guessing you'd rather stick with a dry yeast. From what I've read Nottingham or Windsor will work fine. US-05 even lists Irish Red as one of the styles that works with it. What yeast did you get with the kit?

Tired Hands growlers are 1L and 2L. They do not bottle (aside from special releases) so you won't find their beers in any bottle shops. Same pretty much goes for Kane, you won't find bottles of it and will only find it on tap at their brewery and a few select bars in Kane's vicinity, it's...

I've heard of this happening in some Fantome beers

If you're going to be using a dry yeast then I'd go for the US-05 instead of the Nottingham. Just my opinion though.

Thanks everyone. Yeah I knew there were a few things that didn't look entirely right with this recipe, looks like I'll mess around with it a bit. Cheers!

Have a lot of citra hops lying around and I love a good IPA / DIPA and came across this recipe. I'm still fairly new to brewing so I'm looking for others opinions on whether this is OK or if it needs to be tweaked. Cheers. OG 1.070 FG 1.018 Caramel Malt 20L 1.0 lb White Wheat...

Kane's from NJ is doing some great things as well. I live outside Philly and can confirm that Tired Hands & Forest and Main are def worth checking out. FYI for Tired Hands though they will not fill other breweries growlers unless you cover the logo with duct tape.

Do you happen to have a recipe for this by any chance?

Currently sitting on an APA in which I used Warrior/Citra and Amarillo but have been hearing a lot about Mosaic & Galaxy hops and I was thinking about making something with these two. Do these hops play well together or are they too unique on their own that it would be a waste to pair them up...

Haha yes it is. It was listed as an American Pale Ale but it really is a lot closer to an IPA. I prefer higher IBU's.

Yeah looks fine to me.

I made a Pale Ale a few weeks ago....but switched out the simcoe for citra. OG was 1.059, here is the hop schedule I used. • 1.0 oz Warrior 60 min • 1.0 oz Warrior 30 min • 0.5 oz Citra 10 min • 0.5 oz Amarillo10 min • 0.5 oz Citra 0 min • 0.5 oz Amarillo 0...

For some reason I made a Kolsch with my first batch, I suppose because the Brewers Best kit said it was "easy"...which it was I suppose. Followed the instructions to the T during the boiling process but still had a few issues. It was my first time using my propane grill so of course I had...

You age your berets in kegs? That's quite fancy.
