Awesome

Looks like the voice of reason prevails. Thanks guys.

I'm planning a double brew day this weekend and am looking for a bit of guidance. I normally chill my wort in the pot (ice bath in the sink) but since I will need it for the second batch, could I just siphon the hot wort into a pre-heated carboy? If I did this, I would then be treating it as...

A grain mill is right near the top of my to-buy list, I swear! Problem being, local availability. Only LHBS that has mills has them starting at around $200. Hopefully, I just haven't looked close enough and missed the less expensive options. How well does a corona mill function? I'm assuming it...

I've been getting about 60% efficiency with my set up. I'm assuming the crush I'm getting from the LHBS is too coarse, so I'm accounting for that as best I can. I'd love to try yours too, maybe a bottle swap once it's all brewed and bottled?

Upped the total hops to 8 ounces and grouped my additions into the last 20 minutes. Here's the revised schedule: Amt Name Type # %/IBU 0.50 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Mash 60.0 min Hop 6 3.8 IBUs 0.50 oz Citra [12.00 %] - First Wort 60.0 min Hop 7 20.8 IBUs 0.50 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min...

First off, Thank you! I really appreciate the advice you guys are providing. Since I'm new to the whole recipe creating game, it is very helpful to have some input. I've altered the grain bill slightly according to what you guys have posted. Further, I will be using S-05 instead of...

Any progress with a recipe?

Mainly adding it for colour to try and look similar to this

Here's the recipe I came up with after looking at different recipes here and the ingredients for Flying Monkey Brewery's Smashbomb IPA: Ingredients: ------------ Amt Name Type # %/IBU 0.50 oz Citra...

Yeah, and I'll step it up one or two times and then separate into jars using the yeast washing methods outlined in the sticky. All you want is that white layer on top of the trub (which is 3 or 4 times as thick now by the way). Should give me plenty of opportunity to try out some tripel recipes.

That's what I will do once this is done.

You'll have to wait for some of the more experienced members to answer your question about the starter volumes. As for aerating, I used the swirl it often and try not to spill it method. Obviously, less than ideal but since I'm lacking a stir plate right now I'm limited with my options. The tin...

Interested in brewing a tripel sometime so I figured I may as well try and get some authentic yeast for the brew. Here's my attempt (which appears successful) at harvesting yeast from the bottle dregs. Used a half cup of DME for 2 quarts of water and followed standard sanitation procedures...

Will do. I'm quite interested to see how the bitterness will taste.

Brewed this up on Friday, but forgot to cut the hops in half along with the rest of the ingredients for a 5 gallon batch. Oops! Beersmith is saying it's going to be 60 IBU's. Guess that means I just need to brew it again.

What is the risk of pitching the yeast to larger amount of starter wort (~500 ml) as opposed to getting there by stepping up?

Where's the option for both?
