Finallizing a IIPA recipe. I like the steeping hops idea and want to try it. Hows this recipe look? Whats a typical fermentation schedule for a IIPA. I was thinking 3 in primary. Cold crash or use gelatin. Transfer and dry hop for 5 days before bottling. Thoughts? 5.25 gal batch OG = 1.087 FG =...

Yeah. unless I was out of it yesterday. I started my boil with 1.6L and ended up with 1.25 after 15 min boil. Thats what I meant. I never tossed any out.

wow thanks! I didn't know about that calculator. I like it. Only question I have is if the starter volume is how much you boil? or is it the final volume in the starter. In my case I boiled 1.5 ened up with 1.25 in flask. Just for future reference. Thanks

Hi all. I attempted my first starter yesterday. Using Mr Malty's calculator I needed 2 vials of liquid yeast and a 1.51L starter. I used 151g of DME and boiled that into 1.6L of water. Due to evaporation the final volume ended up being 1.25L. Is this ok or should I have added more water to get...

Hmm. Ok. I used 151g dme ehich was req'd for 1.5L which is 1.25L instead. I pitched the 2 vials of yeast and shook it every half hour for about 3 hrs until i went to bed. I may try and pitch some of the slurry in a new starter. Or start over. My beer is going to have an og of 1.085 so I want to...

I made a starter. The target size was 1.5L with 2 vials of liquid yeast. I ended up with 1.25L after boil with 151g of DME. What should I do? Should I step it up or just add another vial when I pitch. Help appreciated.

I boiled 151g of DME when I made it. Should I step it?

So I made my starter. Target volume was 1.51L. I boiled 1.6 but ended up with like 1.25L. Is this ok? What should I do if anything?

I was using MrMalty's calculator. It says I need to vials and 1.5L starter. Is that 1.5L total volume or per vial? Thanks

I'm going to brew the recipe above this weekend. We shall see how it goes!

Here is my recipe I have now for a IIPA. I was unsure about using the apollo hops for dry hopping and replacing them with citra? Thoughts on this. Original Gravity: 1.085 (1.075 - 1.090) Terminal Gravity: 1.021 (1.010 - 1.020) Color: 11.18 (8.0 - 15.0) Alcohol: 8.43% (7.5% - 10.0%) Bitterness...

I'd like to hear how dry hopping with apollo hops went. I am making a doulbe IPA, OG =1.088. I am using apollo for bittering then adding cascade, citra and simcoe. I am wanting to use 2 oz of cascade and simcoe with 1 oz of apollo for dry hop but am debating swapping citra for apollo. Not sure...

How much you think I should up the early middle and late hops? I was going to change the 30 min apollo addition to .5 oz and up the 10 minute addition to 1.5 each. with that I am at 123 IBU vs 96 before according to beertools.

I made some changes to the hops. Thoughts? Size: 5.0*gal @ 68*°F Efficiency: 75.0% Attenuation: 75.0% Calories: 292.12*kcal per 12.0*fl oz Original Gravity: 1.087 (1.075 - 1.090) Terminal Gravity: 1.022 (1.010 - 1.020) Color: 9.32 (8.0 - 15.0) Alcohol: 8.64% (7.5% - 10.0%) Bitterness: 96.0...

Oh I see. That ups the volume to around 1.3L. I was reading Palmers book about making a yeast starter. I think he mentions the stepping up process. (adding more wort after first fermentation is done to increase cell count)

You are correct, I have not made a starter before. I was trying to use Mr Malty and it is telling me to use 2 vials and 1.16L for my starter using intermittent shaking. Does that sound correct?

Never mind that last part. I'll make a 2L started with 2 vials per mr malty

Will one bottle of white labs be ok if I make a starter? How much more late hops? Make the 0 additions 1 oz instead of .5?

here is what I have so far, opinions? I am trying to get the FG down but I am not sure the program recognizes the effects of honey or corn sugar on FG. Size: 5.0*gal @ 68*°F Efficiency: 75.0% Attenuation: 75.0% Calories: 294.13*kcal per 12.0*fl oz Original Gravity: 1.088 (1.056 -...
