Oh nice, ill join that group. I go to Argosy University for grad school. What part of phx you in?

Hey, I recently moved from San Diego to Phoenix. Trying to bring some of that San Diego Hoppiness out here. Going to school out here and brewin on the side. Any valley brewers in the house? PS- 'What Ale's Ya' is pretty sweet.

I'm not sure if aging would make it taste less watery. Did you brew an extract beer? Use Steeping grains? If you brewed an extract beer with out any steeping grains, you may just be tasting a beer with out much body to it. All grain, or extract/steeping will give the beer that body. It's your...

Oh sweet. Thanks guys.

This is my Imperial IPA. It spent about 10 days in primary and now is dry hopping in secondary. I just started noticing these tiny white bubbles on the rings of the carboy. They also streak downward. They started appearing about two days into the dry hop. Any idea what this is? Infection...

What is this??

What is this??

So I sampled my first IPA today and it has distinct Belgian-style flavors. Kinda weird. I have an idea of why though... tell me what you think. I started off using a white labs English Ale yeast, but It was taking it's time to show any air lock action, so i re-pitched with a Safale (Dry)...

Anyone know why it is 48hrs? Seems like 8 hours in the fridge would do the job.

Having one bad batch, and the next possibly bad... i was trying to track down the source of my problem. I noticed on one of Revvy's blogs that he advised against using you bottling bucket for cleaning/sanitizing. I have done that a couple times now. How likely is it that i have scratched that...

I think someone mentioned in a thread that if the Star San is cloudy than it is no longer good. I can't find the thread again. Any one know if this is true? I have a carboy filled with the stuff that i had used to sanitize my bottles. It is cloudy. I am wondering if it is still good. It has only...

I am wondering how the water actually makes it up into the bottles using this method. Wouldn't it just sanitize the outside of the bottles?

I went ahead an adjusted the recipe like Hooter suggested, but i did it a little different. 1 oz centennial @ 60 min 1 oz centennial @ 50 min 1 oz cascade @ 10 min 1 oz centennial @ 5 min 1 oz Centennial @ flame out Then i will dry hop with 1 oz centennial. We'll see how it turns out! The O.G...

Oh damn, makes sense. Well now i know. However, the way that the beer shot to the ceiling in some of the bottles, i could have had grenades on my hands had i waited 3+ weeks.

ah, well i opened another and it was a gyser. Definitely tasted sour. I dumped em. So frustrating! Oh well. When using Iodophor, is the dillution supposed to be one cap full for every 5 gallons?

its hard to tell.. it doesnt taste great. I think it does have a hint of sour/ vinegar taste.

Could they explode in the next week?
