I was given a syringe of Cascade Hop Extract from a member of my local Brew Club. I've been doing some research on how to utilize it and have decided that I might as well try an all Hop Shot ale. For the amount i have it looks like an IPA is appropriate, Here is what I am thinking. 10 lbs...

I had some other people try this over the weekend. When I try this one again I will likely mash a bit lower, probably like 150F, and i will likely double the hops to really get them to stand out against the higher alcohol content.

I also used the alcohol content... This is normally a 3.2/4% beer finished at 5.5%

Pulled the first one this evening. Mine is on the right, Deschutes on the left. Color is there. Mine is a bit maltier, there's finishes a bit dryer. More of the hop flavor comes out in the real thing. My local brew club says if I start doing some water additions like adding gypsum I should be...

What power supply are people using for their plates? I tried a 9 volt battery charger supply I had, it worked great, but after only a few minutes of use the brick got almost too hot to touch. I installed an old cell phone charger that my roommate had that was only 5.5 volts and it worked OK...

So we have just moved this to Secondary and we are thinking it could use a little more hop. IF we dry hop in the secondary for a few days what variety should we use?

I used the brown ale extract kit from the Beer Nut in SLC... 6lbs. Bries Light Malt Extract Unknown Specialty Grains 1 oz. Unknown hop pellets at 60 min. 1 oz. Willamette Hop Pellets at 15 min. 11.5 g safale us-05 yeast

Ok, so what reading on a hydrometer should I be looking for if i never took the OG to determine finished fermentation?

I am working on my first batch (an American Brown Ale) I have been keeping my fermentation at about 65 deg. F for the first week. Outside temperatures have dropped into the single digits and now I am struggling to keep it at about 60 deg. F. This is at the very low end of the temp. range that my...
