Sounds like I definitely over temp’d I’m just gonna take lumps and hope my Beer doesn’t suck when it’s done lol. I’m using a 10gal tun so no issues there’s.

Ok cool. I knew going 168 and over is a bad. Next time I’ll mash lower. Hope that will help. Thanks for the tip!

Well my first go round I used a bag. This go round I just went loose in the mash tun but Also experienced worse efficiency. So you’re saying that 165 is too high and I should probably aim for lower for better efficiency? My crush IMO didnt look great but I don’t have real basis for...

hey brewers - I’m having a little issue with my all grain set up where my efficiency absolutely stinks and I’m not sure what the deal is. Hoping for some pointers. My fermentables were as follows: 15lbs Golden Promise 1.5lbs flaked wheat 1.5lbs flaked oats Mashing for 60minutes @ 165...

Aight. Update time. Using my above listed hop schedule, the brew smells absolutely BALLER. Flavor is amazing too. I do get some bitterness. Not too over the top but good thing I listened (somewhat) regarding mostly late additions. Any more bitterness and it would have been too much...

I'm brewing an NEIPA right now. So I referenced a recipe from Brew Magazine once and it was calling for bottling at something like 7days. So dry hopping after 4 days, then bottling 3days after that. Seemed ultra early to me but considering what im reading so far, makes sense. I wonder...

Just an update. I used .5 oz of motueka at 45 min. Everything else was dropped at 10min, 5min, and then hopstsnd @ 170degrees. Will let you know how it goes

Yeah you’d be correct that I’m shooting for a NEIPA. Also trying for a more yellow hairy color hence the Golden Promise. My last ipa was: 63% 2row 13% American 10l 13% white wheat 10% flakes oats. Vermont gigayeast I dint get the color I really wanted but that was probably the 10L. I also...

I guess if the alphas are high enough in the late hop additions then it really wouldn’t matter? What’s the benefit/loss of traditional 60 minute bittering hop addition vs waiting to place 1st hop until late in the boil?

Thanks. Yeah the Vic secret hops have a ridic alpha of 21%. My enigma won’t come in until tomorrow so I’ll know more then but I’m expecting high on those also. Motueka was 6.7%. No bittering? Wouldn’t that make it too sweet? Was kicking around motueka at the beginning then not...

So ive been reading about my NZ hops I’ve just acquired. Have some Motueka, Vic Secret, and Enigma. What I’m not sure about is the order I should Be shooting for. In my head I’m thinking that the enigma since the alphas are so large (18%) and that would be great for bittering. But then I...

Hey there - Anyone ever tried Idaho 7 hops? Im looking to maybe do a Simcoe, Idaho 7 variation. Hoping to get that liquid Mary Jane aroma but not sure if the Idaho will do it for me. THoughts? Also... hop hash... Looks like it can be bought by the pound. Any suggestions on...
