So I brewed my first IPA but the OG was lower then expected. It was at 1.042 I expected it to be around 1.065. Should I add some DME or Candi Syrup to give it a boost or should I just let it do its thing? I'm afraid it will jyst be a hoppy pale ale rather then a ipa. any thoughts. 5 gal...

So i just got done Brewing. It smells great. I think the OG was a little low for an IPA. i was hoping for around 1.060ish it ended up being OG was 1.044 at 75 degrees. Is there anything I should add (like candi sugar/syrup) or just let it be? any thoughts.

thanks for all the help. I can't wait to get this one going.

it is quite heavy on the hop aroma. and has a nice bite to it, without being overly hoppy. north peak is a michigan brewery. im not sure how far their distribution goes but if you get a chance to try any of their beers i would highly recommend it.

Im looking to try to make a IPA similar to north peaks Diabolical IPA. Here is the description for Diabolical. or even somewhere in the ball park. "The devil made us do it. From the ABV and IBU figures to the fiendish use of Cascade, Perle and Willamette hops, Lucifer was whispering in our...

ok so here is the situation. I was planning on brewing a Belgian triple, but the place I went to did not have the trappest yeast I needed, the did have a Belgian wit so I am doing a culture. I started the culture yesterday in the early afternoon. I know the culture needs 2-3 days before its...

I have a stout I am going to bottle tomorrow. Its og was 1.065 I did a reading today and its gravity is 1.024. temp was around 65 F Im trying to figure out the correct amount of corn sugar to use for bottling. Its slightly more then 5 gal but not much. I was thinking somewhere around 4 to 5oz...

im wondering if the yeast might have settled at the bottom with the turb because of the low temps and when I transfered it it no longer in the brew. or is that me over-thinking and worrying

english ale yeast pitched at 70 it been fermenting around 62-68. most time I check it was around 64 im getting something to control the temp soon there was too much fluctuation in this batch.

I think my beer might have stalled. I pitched the yeast it bubbled for a few days then stopped knowing just because the airlock is not bubbling does not mean its done, I left it in the primary for two weeks. I transfer it to secondary there was A LOT of turb at the bottom. gravity was 1030 from...

thanks, If the gravity stops dropping after a few days?

I have a Stout that just started secondary over the weekend, I added Maple syrup and vanilla beans to the brew. Im wondering since the syrup will (should) start the fermentation again. do I or should I add yeast when bottling? or should there be enough to carbonate the beer. If so how much...

sorry wrong forum how do I delete this thread?

So I cleared the idea with the lady, and a Kegerator is a go! So now I'm trying to find a good fridge to convert. My local brewing equipment store has a good deal on the kegging equipment ( kegs Co2 regulator and tower) so i was looking at the Danby DAR440W or would be better to just get one of...
