I'm going to make a IPA in the near future with an OG of 1.084 FG of 1.018 I made a yeast starter, decanted it last night when I got home from work and let it sit on the countertop to get to room temperature. I followed the same routine for the 2nd stage, 1500ml water to 1 cup of Muntons DME...

Has anybody ever tried to brew a beer similar to Lawson's Sip of Sunshine? Man I love that hoppy citrus taste, puts a smile on my face.

Thanks alot for the info.. I will definitely look into this setup

Going to take my brewing out into the garage. I did a lot of research about brewing in the garage safely so I will probably crack a window open and leave one the garage doors open as well. Looking for a propane burner and a 8 gallon pot, I'm going to still do extract brewing but full 5...

So just toss it in, no need to suspend it with string/ floss?

I will be dry hopping my primary today when I get home from work. It's a 6.5 gallon bucket. I am going to dry hop 2 oz of Citra pellets with a hop bag. I was going to sanitize the bag and fishing line or floss (this seems like the way to go) My question is should I run the string/ floss...

I strained my one and only batch using a sterilized stainless strainer. It was kinda of a PIA having to keep rinsing out from getting clogged but I did notice less crap getting into my fermenting bucket. I will probably do the same for my next batch coming up.

I'm pretty new to home brewing and cant stop thinking about it 24/7

You mind sharing the Citra recipe?

Where are you located, I'm in CT

Here's my buddy

This is gonna sound like a stupid question but does this recipe call for 2 containers of Marris Otter LME? Looks like they come in 3.3lb containers. Thanks

I'm curious would cheese cloth work as well? I have a ton on it kicking around the house

Okay but I still have to dry hop. Should I just pop the hops in the bucket in about two weeks and let them be for like a week or so then just rack to bottling bucket?

This is gonna sound like a dumb question but should I take the lid off take my sample then just spray the underside of the lid with starsan, then just pop it back on?

OK thanks guys

Brewed my Ipa last Friday fermentation took right off and have had bubbling in the airlock til today. Yesterday was a bubble a minute and today nothing. I really don't want to take the lid off and fool about with bucket unless I have to. The temperature on the bucket reads 66*. Am I just...

Tuesday I stopped at my LHBS and picked up a Nebco Gandhi-Bot extract clone... oh man I can't wait to get this brew started. I left the kit in my vehicle while I was in the grocery store came back and opened the door and got hit in the face with hoppy goodness. I'll probably get this started...

I love that beer... Let us know how it turns out

Me being a newbie I can only give you a little bit advice... Sanitize sanitize sanitize... keep a spray bottle filled with your favorite sanitizer nearby for quick cleaning. Keep an eye on that pot, boil overs suck. My first time ever making a starter turned into a fiasco. Its mostly when...
