Brewed this IPA a few weeks ago. I carried out an overnight single infusion, full-volume, no-sparge mash for the first time. I managed mash pH with a small addition of lactic acid to the full volume of water and employed a 30 minute whirlpool hop addition at 160°F with 8oz of hops after the...

Vienna IPA

I use a plate chiller. Pellet hops can result in blockages so some form of hop filter is needed. I have not experienced any problems in terms of extracting hoppy goodness and adequate bittering. I've only ever entered one IPA (previous one I made) to a comp. It fared well but it's hardly much...

They are hop bags from @Wilserbrewer Same voile material as his large bags. Much finer weave than a paint strainer bag. Great piece of kit.

Thanks man. Nice sunny day here today. I did something similar to you in my current IPA

My guess is that it was an extract batch and this is scorched LME/DME.

Nearly There Bon Apetito!

Bret Saison Thanks @chefrex

The numbers in the software are 100+ IBU but I'm not achieving those levels of isomerization. The whirlpool addition's IBU's are anyone's guess. Lots of conflicting data and opinions out there. I did a similar IPA recently with 100% MO and an OG of 1.066 Hop Bill for 100% MO IPA It scored...

Your recipe as it stands won't result in an IPA. A minimally hopped malty APA will. Nothing wrong with that but if it's an IPA you want changes are needed. Here is my last IPA' s hop bill for comparison. A single malt and 14lbs of Vienna Malt for OG 1.071 Hops for a 5.5 gallon batch of IPA...

Heater. I don't need one. The freezers sit in my house at room temperature. To heat I just set the temperature and let it rise passively. I used to use a heater fan but realized it's needless for me unless I was to make a saison. I ususally ferment 1 beer at a time as the beer is...

For under $200 you can get a new chest freezer shipped big enough to acomodate 10 gallons in 2 carboys/buckets/better bottles, and an STC 1000 DIY controller or an off the shelf Inkbird. I have both and the Inkbird is a good option. The doom and gloom of lifting carboys and having to wait an...

Here's how. No need to boil for any more than a minute or so. Cools as you do other stuff. A simple 15 minute task 3-5 days before brewing. Almost free never ending yeast is the added bonus.

Yes. Here are three pints of slurry that look like this after a few weeks in the fridge. Harvest from a Pilsner. Used for a Marzen.

No molested sauze?

Yes.
