    Double IPA Out of this Galaxy IIPA

    Im from Australia and have used Galaxy alot for my session ales and american wheats and also thrown them into a IPA. One thing that I learnt about this hop is that it has very strong and overwelhming astringencys when used anywhere apart from late in the kettle @ sub 15mins. Can you tell me...

    Red ale critique

    Looking at that recipe it could do with some slight changes, especially the 1.9 lbs of roasted barley....looks like a typo and should have been 0.19 lbs right? Anyway with the crystal malts I would put them like this: 0.75 lbs Crystal 60L 0.5 lbs Crystal 120L 0.25 lbs Carapils 0.19 lbs...

    When a ton of hops gives no aroma

    I have found that the overall hop character improved right through when adding gypsum, before that i didnt have an issue with bitterness from a 90 or 60min addition but struggled to get the flavour and solid aroma until i used Gypsum. Try it out and see if that moves you closer to your target.

    Why doesn't the hop character of my beers taste the same as commercial beers

    For me, getting the water chemistry understood made a huge difference to my pale ales and IPAs. Now when ever i make a hoppy beer I always add enough calcium sulphate (gypsum) to get my calcium to 150ppm and sulphate to 300ppm and those hops shine right through. That amount for me on a 21lt...

    Tweaking my IPA

    Hi Sklar, If i was using those hops I would just use the following: Warrior @ 60m - 30Ibu Cascade/Columbus/Chinook @ 10m - 40ibu Dry Hopped with the same combo used at 10mins. I think the mosaic would blend well with the 2 C hops and is worth a try also.

    More flavorful wheats

    Hi Ron, What were the wheat recipes and styles of the 2 wheats you have already made? This will help me to answer your Q in the right direction for what you could do with them or what you could try next for another wheat beer.
