Correction. East coast.

It's been hot. Very hot on the easy coast here figured I'd do a tribute to one of the worst times to brew as far as getting those temps Down..Post them if you got them the good ol swamp cooler.

I use 1 lb of lactose. Works like a charm. Just add last 5 of the boil. Malto works too.

I'm sure it's fine. You might even be at fg already at 7 days. I've had krausen for 12 days A few times and it was finished. Check gravity levels for a few days and see where you're at.

Did you scorch the extract? It could be you just have a stronger beer due to Volume loss. What's was your calculated ABV? Might be worth letting them sit for a bit if time usually heals all.

You can do 2.5 3, 4, or 5 then top off to 5 gals. You can boil 6 gals and boil off to 5 and not have to use water to top off. The reason they give a set gallon mark is that most people can't get a full boil on some stove tops. As for squeezing the bag I've heard you can get off flavors while...

I'd do 1lbs of 20 or 40. Dump the rest. You have 8lbs of DME. It's going to be a big ipa. Hops look great. But ya everything looks fine.

I agree with the grain bill. Seems like all you would need is say a pound of a crystal 20 or 40. But hey man it's your beer. You made/created this recipe. Brew it up take notes and have fun. Thats the best part of home brewing. Take pics and keep us updated. Cheeeers!

Fermentation a lot of the time finishes in 3 to 4 days. Sounds like its all good. Agree on leaving it for a bit. Notty rips through sugar like nobodies business so that's normal.

I myself have never added extra flavor to an individual bottle but rather to a whole batch. Easier I guess for my brain I guess. Coffee. Vanilla. Hard liquor. all goes well with a stout depending on your taste. As for a specific amount per bottle if it was me I'd take the amount I'd put in for a...

Brew day at the home brewers review household. An ipa variant I call Citrade and a light bodied brown. We will be reviewing a beer of my own tomorrow a nice lime ale i made from a cream ale recipe..Hopefully get that up on YouTube tomorrow night for you. Also good news! we will be doing our...

Sours are pretty tasty. You'd be surprised. Good luck.

I'd treat it like an experiment at this point. I'd pitch let it ferment and see what it smells and tastes like. If its sour tasting and has an off smell at that point you can either let it and see how knarly it gets and make a good sour or dump it if its not your cup o tea. Keep us updated and...

I'm confused. You didn't ferment your beer yet? How long has it been sitting in a fermentation container?

If you don't want to cold crash or use a bag I suggest whole leaf hops.

I agree with most. A good time to experiment with a pumpkin recipe.

Sorry. perhaps you can drink it fast or let it ride and see if you can make a good sour out of it.

I read all of this. Awesome job I did the same thing when I came to this website. Congrats and post pics of you finished product

Stripers! Caught these beauties late June

1 oz Columbus packs a punch. If you're looking for a less bitter beer might want to lighten the amount. I for one like bitter so this recipe looks good to me :)
