I must have made 20-25 gallons of lawn mower beers last summer. I played around with a couple use simple pilsner malt and magnum at 60 to give it 12-20ibu's. This recent batch I wanted to go for a quasi-coronaish summer beer. I used pilsner, instant rice and 1% of C60 just to get the color...

Well, I made a simple light lager last weekend. A 10 gallon batch using 2oz of hallertau at 30 min so we'll see how it turns out.

I've been tweaking my house Summer Pilsner recipe. Made a great Saaz hopped pilsner and this year I believe I'd like to play with some tettnang and mittlefruh. I use all mittlefruh in my Oktoberfest recipe but I'm wondering how it would be in a simple pilsner.

SN's Resilience IPA recipe uses about 10% of C60 and that's a great recipe. I'd also suggest to look a your water chemistry and see if that may have anything to do with it.

Same questions here, freshness of hops, hopping schedule and AA of hops used. Also, did you do a 60 min or 90 minute boil?

Looks great! Warmer weather is on it's way here and it's making me want to fire up my pipe!

That's awesome!! Great job!

Now that's badass!!! Holy ****, you did a great job! How did you go about mounting the controller box, etc? Short screws as to not hit any lines or?

I love that the cooling plate isn't visible. I feel like that's a huge space saver with this fridge. If mine ever goes, I'll replace it with this one.

Did a closed transfer tonight. Final gravity was 1.012 for a 6.3% ABV! Hydrometer sample tasted great so I’m excited to see how it’ll be with some cold conditioning and a few days to finish up carbing. I’ll try it this weekend and see how it’s coming along .

Deleted.

I'll be kegging my batch on Wednesday and I should be able to have the first couple of pints on Friday. I pressure fermented around 9psi. Should just transfer and let it sit for a couple days at serving pressure to finish up carbonation.

I love BrewFathers water chemistry calculator. You plug in your recipe and what sort of ppm mineral amounts you want to be around and it'll tell you how much to add based on your grain bill and water amounts. If you're doing all Centennial, you might want to have a look at Northern Brewer's...

I'll brew whenever I can, however if it's towards the evening, the latest I'll start is 7pm. My brew day is about 4 hours so if I can finish with cleaning before midnight, It's a win. Otherwise, brewing 6-7am is great so that I'm usually done by noon and can crack open a beer to celebrate a...

Brewed an Irish red! Super excited to see how it’ll turn out!

Just brewed this tonight, exactly as written. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Hit my OG of 1.060!

Just brewed this tonight, exactly how it was written. Hit my OG of 1.060. Color looked great already. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. I’ll be pressure fermenting this one after a couple days.

I legit thought it was a typo, and maybe meant Gold or Golden IPA. I will say it does sound interesting.

So, to piggy back...when figuring out ion concentrations, say...in the mash....does it take into account the boil or is it strictly the mash?

I'm using a 20 gallon kettle with 5500w element and I also boil with the power around 55%. I boil off a gallon over the course of an hour.
