1099, ended up at 1.012. So 8.14%. Happy with results. Kegged, carbing now. Has a very clean taste. If in northern Chicago land. Welcome to try it next sat at growmasters..

3 to 1 from my usage, there is a small burn involved the first week after you keg (at least with citra lupulin) but it smooths out. I have only used it in bigger beers, so I am not sure if in lower abv beers it will be different...

Dragon flute. Karben4. What a pale ale should be.

yep, and it works for a centennial only IPA.. :) people will wonder why chinook at all, but at 10, it'll bring out the pine, and maybe some of the grapefruit. Centennial late is going to build up the citrus and grapefruit tones. Amarillo at the end will bring out the grapefruit, apricot...

I would cut the crystal, or add 1/2 pound of corn sugar to help dry it out, with those hops: 60 min 1 oz centennial 10 min 1 oz chinook 0 min 2 oz centennial 0 min 1 oz amarillo 0 min 1 oz citra dry hop 1 oz citra dry hop 2 oz centennial in my opinion that's a good balanced beer. I have been...

Grainbill, I would do late extract additions, but either way, .. hop schedule: Looks fine, I'd move the 5 min to 2, whirlpool with your 5 day dry hops then dry hop 4 days before bottling/kegging with your 10 days dry hop. but your above will be a good beer.

Thank you for offering this giveaway! I entered for the kettle, but would love to try your Pliny the elder all grain kit.

if you don'y get half acre in Mississippi stock up on that. i think if I was going somewhere without beer, half acre is what I would stock up on. daisy cutter, double daisy, etc.

Chicago (suburbs here). Craft beer store expect to pay 8.99-11.99 for your typical IPA, either 6 pack or 4 pack of talls. 3 floyds expect to pay 16.99 a six pack for yum yum, zombie dust, gumballhead.

Got some comet hops at a great price. So doing a 1 lb IPA . 10 lbs pale, biscuit and honey malt. Then mainly dry hopping and whirlpooling with the comet..

just prechill, cool to 100 then use a prechiller. run your water through a copper, steel, whatever metal in a bucket with ice water, that goes to your immersion chiller.

whatever you do, keep making beer. If you like ESB, then you should make another one, following better temp control. Sometimes it's as easy as picking up a 50 dollar fridge or full size wine cooler, or swamp cooler. (or like me, buy a house that has a basement that stays at 66 during the...

I am just getting ready to use Pacifica as well, but using Ella with a basic grainbill.

I second (third) the bake it approach. I usually hop spider 300 micron if using my plate chiller, but now I just go back to my counter flow and let the hops flow free. that said, I always go back and forth with a high pressure water flush on my filter and it has always flushed it out.

I was just up there this summer. (again) There is not much from local brewers. In Pigeon Forge, next to a bbq place is a craft beer store. I am not trying to knock the store or the location. Yee haw, to me, is undrinkable. Smokey Mountain Brewery (they have more than one location, I went...

For those that are reading this and looking for a good stainless spider that is cheap, I went with this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/304-Stainless-Steel-Hop-Spider-Strainer-Homebrew-Beer-Pellet-Hop-Filter-100x255mm-400-Micron-Filtering-for/32739880355.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.57ywbI And...

Dunno, but this is how dogfish does it... and 60/90/120 minute IPA are pretty good.

Half acre deep space, excellent

I flame out, toss my hops in, start chilling. i get down to 185 fairly quickly. but I whirlpool lower, I like to bring it to 150, then I toss in more pellet hops, then keep it right around 140. (even if I have to turn the heat on to maintain) but if just lupullin powder, I'll start that at...

i second the EC-1118, I thought it died around 16%, but the files on it say 18%, so that would be a much better choice..
