Any opinion on when I should add the lemon peels ? The beer should be bitter enough should I'm really jus lookin for a bright citrus flavor from this edition

I been wondering this myself , on my 4th batch and the general idea that I've gathered is that you should wait until your gravity settles down for Agnew days and then rack to the secondary

I beg to differ , I think citrus is a big part of an an American ipa

It's an imperial pale ale partial kit from brewers best .. I think the og was 1.070 but took it at 80 degrees

Oh , and is there any thing I should take out because I'm adding more sugars ?

I picked up some of those true brew dried bitter orange peels and some true brew dried Lemmon peels , at what point should I add any of that to accent a hopefully citrusy imperial pale ale ? ... Same question for the canned chunked pineapple ?

Wooooo ! Don't even have to open the fridge , you hear the stuff fermenting hard from 20 feet away son !!!

Word up ! .. It's little yeasty heart is beating away in the fridge Woooo!!!!

We pitched some US 05 in last night at 1130 pm last night at 84 degrees , woke up at 630 this morn and nooooo bubbles !? Is it dead ?

Crap ! Lol .. I'm totally down to experiment with stuff, and all the ideas sound plausible and lika lot of fun also , jus don't wanna murder my 3rd batch lol

Any way to tell if to if It's safe to rack by eye in a bucket ? .. Never took gravity readings

Yea not a big fan of Belgians , I got batch the Fermenting at the same temp for a week now , getting a fridge and a temp control switch ASAP but was wondering if the high temps and and the lack of action in the bucket , would be ok to rack into the carboy and dry hop after only a week ?

Yep , batch 2 came out tasting like funky , it was supposed to be an ipa , but the high temps turn it in what I can only describe as a over carbonated Newcastle with a shot of warm banana rum dumped into it .. Not what I wanted still gonna drank it ,but I wasn't happy with it .. Soooo I got...

Yep , kinda has a banana mixed drink taste to it .. Doesn't taste like an ipa at all , more of a a weird Newcastle that has a shot of banana rum in it ... Oh well , we are just gonna have to power through about 40 of these things for about 3 more weeks until the next batch is done

Ok I got an Imperial pale ale kit in first ferm at ludicrous 78ish temperature , been in for week pretty sure all major ferming is done .. Can I rack and dry hop after only a week ?

Haha that's awesome , so ... I got an Imperial pale ale partial grain kit in the 1st ferm and been in for a week , heavy ferm is already done for sure.. Gonna dry hop like a half of citra and an o of dried bitter orange peels ... How long before I should rack into 2nd ?

Thanks for the info y'all , but bpas and belgo and just about anything I've tried have been funky to my pallet , theres a very heavy yeasty characteristic that I pick up Everytime I taste something anything Belgium

Are fusel alcohols good ?

It's truly awesome to kno that there are this many fellow man beer drinkers are out there talkin bout man beer all day .haha .. Cheers

I need something for ipa and iipas , Belgian anything is totally opposite of the flavor profiles I prefer sir
