You are totally right. I am not sure what I was thinking there. I am also not sure why I boiled for 90 min. I think this recipe was an adaptation of the Fresh Squeezed IPA, at least the grain bill and the hop schedule. Hops used are completely different. I wasnt really sure why 90 min boil and...

I am afraid that if you were trying to brew a DIPA and you achieved an original gravity (OG) of 1.044, then either your recipe was quite low on fermentables or you must have made an error in your brewing process that resulted in having low efficiency. With an OG of 1.044, achieving 4.5% ABV is...

1.010 is pretty much a perfect final gravity for beer. What's the problem?

The results I just got for serving this beer at a competition. Not a great result despite the fact that the beer sold out and a lot of the public ordered seconds, but to count many of my friends who did the same.

I have used Mangrove Jack's Bavarian Wheat Yeast to good result twice now. I have been told it is a little more toned down than some of the other hefe yeasts and I agree that it creates a nice clean tasting beer with subtle clove and fruitiness.

Thanks for the advice. I do really like a rye IPA, or as I like to call it a ryePA. I have altered the recipe to contain approx. 6.5% rye and changed to light DME rather than LME. I have omitted Crystal completely and matched IBUs perfectly with ABV for 1:1 ratio. I plan to, as I usually do...

Thanks for the encouragement. I have updated my original post to include the full original recipe. I think the flavour might have been a bit muddled, with that combination of three hops (the Cascade was just used to supplement because I ran out of all the other hops). Yeast: I pitched a...

Hi guys, I just came out of a home brew competition and I am feeling a little less confident about my ability to make a good IPA. 33/50 was my total total score. Tasting points were: -"Great looking beer" -"Would like more hop aroma" -"Too much crystal malt" -"Hop astringency" -"Possibly...

Saw this the other night on Compass on the ABC. They interviewed the Australian inventors and they demonstrated the product. It is indeed real and working

Yup some people need to relax

Sounds more like he's making something he is intending to distill to me.

My god they're huge! What have i done? haha Any advice for next time I post a photo?

Made my first labels for a homebrew comp at my local pub. Let's hope the beers do well. My first competition! Winner has a commercial batch of their beer made at a local microbrewery!

Yup. A little sediment never hurt anyone.

I have used fruit juice before and the beer turned out great. Beyond that I only use table sugar.

Any recommendations for how to treat all my plastic after this so it doesn't come back? I bleached the hell out of my fermenter after the last one but maybe it came from some other component.

Hopefully bottle it this weekend and see how it turns out. I need to serve this and my IPA to thirsty patrons at a home brew event so really hoping it's not ruined.

Ya I'm pretty sure that's exactly what mine has looked like both times. Crazy idea but considering that must beer infections are bacterial, might it help if I dosed the batch with antibiotics before it makes the beer go bad?

It has completely settled down a few days before this popped up. Still dormant at the moment. OG: 1.055, FG: 1.015. This is the second time I have made this beer and it still tastes good. I'm just worried it will spoil in the bottle.

Don't think kts a scratch but I have definitely considered it seeing as it has popped up in two batches. The worst part is that both this and the IPA are the beers that I have brewed to be consumed at the local pub for a Home Brew Masters event. Does it happen often that the beer tastes fine...
