Thanks man! Appreciate it. I may have worded that weird. I was wondering if there was a sort of equivalent to dry hopping, maybe adding more coffee or choc flavor? i might just leave it be and see how it tastes though. def will not be dry hopping.

So Last night I brewed my 3rd batch, it is an American stout. The smell was great, lots of coffee and chocolate. I have 2 questions: Heres the hop schedule: Cluster hops 1 oz- 60 min fuggle hops 1 oz- 10 min willamette hops 1 oz- 2 min 1. Is there anything I can do, sort of like dry...

UPDATE: tried another one at the 2 weeks and 2 days mark, sweetness is magically gone ALMOST completely. Flavor is balancing out, and its completely drinkable. For my first brew ever i am really happy. Gonna try another in one week, i think it'll be well conditioned by then. :mug::ban:

I REALLY appreciate the shared knowledge I've already got it in the fermenter for nearly two weeks, so obviously can't do the flame out additions that big this time around. However, I am going to try to bring up the aroma with a nice big citra dry hop and that 1 oz simcoe to give some pine to...

does this help at all? 5 gal batch fermentables 9.9 lb. Light LME 1 lb. Corn Sugar grains 8 oz. Caramel 40L 4 oz. Carapils thanks again!

Being only a third time brewer, and feeling ambitious and experimental i decided to step away from kit directions and experiment. anyone have experience with the following combo? any opinions on how this will taste? 2 oz Columbus: 60 min (bittering) 2 oz columbus: 15 min 2 oz cascade...

is there a temperature to avoid on either spectrum? (too hot too cold) that could taint my entire batch?

It was in a primary for 5 days then racked to secondary for 2 weeks. Im done with secondary in the future, but i was taking every bit of advice i was given at the time. i used exactly what the kit prescribed for the priming sugar addition. I was excited and impressed by the flavor on bottling day :(

I am Currently working on a double IPA with a predicted abv between 8%-9%..I am leaving it in one vessel. I was wondering if anyone thought 4 weeks in primary, then adding my dry hops and leaving for one more week before bottling, for a total of 5 weeks, would be enough time for the beer to be...

My fridge holds a damn near constant and consistent temp at whatever i set it at. I am thinking about cold crashing my double IPA and this would be my first time trying this technique. I heard there are things that can go wrong. What temp and how many days and how long before bottling should i...

i plan on it moving forward but didn't have knowledge or tools at the time.

carbonation is way up, I'd say it's perfect for the style i was surprised. I tried one after a week in bottle and it was damn sweet, and the second attempt was last night (2 week mark) i feel the sweetness came down a TINY bit. There was no sweetness to it on bottling day.

I did not measure because it was literally my first try and didnt expect to be so captivated by the hobby and now im in love. I have a hydrometer now. The yeast was dry yes and was safale-us05 but the entire kit was kept in my room and basement prob an average of 70 degrees.

i received a Northern Brewer Irish Red Ale kit for christmas and JUST got around to brewing it about a month and a half ago. This attempt has sparked a ton of interest and I have been researching and getting new recipes like crazy. I'm already learning so much and cannot wait to try my latest...
