Remember the guy that dropped a dirty diaper in his wort and wanted to know if it would be OK? A long time ago.

Hilarious!

I have seen that thread but holy snickers how can an old fart like me glean necessary info out of there? Process sensitive does not sound like my style. I tend to be a little loosey-goosey. Maybe I'll just buy those with the money I save on my beer drinking. ;)

Yeah, my wife LOVES the citrus fruit flavor in NEIPA. I am practicing for one of those. I need to get more batches under my belt before I spend a bunch of money on ingredients. I guess this will be more or less a northwest IPA?

I live at the end of the supply chain except for stuff that comes from Mexico. Our LBS shut down in Dec. He said he was doing fine as a business but had family stuff up north to attend to. San Antonio is 3 hours Corpus Christie is 2 hours but I don't know if they have an LBS. I know they have...

If these are the beers you have settled on I would love to know what specialty grains you selected. I like the chewy grainy flavor in my ales. I am thinking about trying biscuit malt since I have never used it that I can remember. That would save me lots of work! I am not so interested in wheat...

I am here to learn and appreciate the feedback. I used to brew "seat of the pants" and had good results. I am trying to become a better brewer and use the tools that were not available to me before.

So this is the latest version, I cut the boil down to 30 minutes. My Hallertauer Magnum package is open so I want to use them all. I changed the Cascade to 10, 5, and hop stand. Is there a hop I have on hand that would be more neutral than Hallertauer Magnum? (See post above) I can make another...

Here are the hops I have on hand: Cascade centennial chinook crystal hallertauler magnum HBC 682 loral brand mt. hood nugget warrior brand 5 hbu hop pellet pack I don't have enough Cascade (3 OZ @ 4.6 AA) to get the bitterness I want. If I could use a neutral bittering hop then...

"To your other point, what questions do you have about a hop routine that gets the hop profile that the beer needs?" I change my boil from 55 minutes to 30 minutes my IBUs change from 67 to 52. I would then need to use more hops to achieve the same IBU.

So now I have a SMASH IPA which I tried a few weeks ago but screwed up because I entered gain rather than DME. Water and yeast starter fixed. It lands toward the large end on both O.G. and IBU according to Brewersfriend style guide. HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Hallertauer Magnum Cascade IPA...

I have been trying to get my head around the short boil or no-boil method. I started brewing around 1990 and we all boiled our wort for 60 minutes. I understand the time idea, I'm retired and have more time than money so that is not an issue. I have not been able to nail down a hop routine that...

Why the shorter boil? The water is what the software fills in, I use RO water. I rehydrate but I don't use a starter. I will do a better job posting recipes.

So if I dry hop with a couple of OZ you think it would be closer to style? I could do more hops at knock out too.

I am brewing an IPA from ingredients I have on hand. I like IPAs with a good malt backbone to support the hops. I would like some feedback on this recipie. HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Hallertauer Magnum Cascade IPA Brew Method: Extract Style Name: American IPA Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 6...

We found Marble Desert Fog at our local Walmart. Marble Brewery I think it would be classified as a NEIPA. Since we are at the end of supply lines here in the RGV we don't get a great selection of craft brew. My wife and I absolutely love Desert Fog. It is so fruity and fresh, I plan on trying...

I just happened across this. I hope some of the smart chemistry guys weigh in here. It seems like it would be safe for a sanitizer but what do I know? "The solution should be diluted to prevent tissue damage. The recipe from the CPG is for a “half strength” that then gets diluted for actual use...

Distilled water from Walmart.

I like to drink browns, porters, and bocks. I like a grainy taste with a mild hop finish. What kveik would produce beers like that?
