I’m also wondering if my water is causing issues as I’m always high on FG. My water PH is 7.8 and the hardness is around 150 (I know this only because I have a hot tub). I think the next batch will be made with a 5 gallon jug of water from the grocery store. Lots of questions here I know and...

So this one was Warrior Hops 15.9%AA (1oz) for 60 minutes. Chinook 12.8AA 1oz for 10 minutes. Then Cascade 7.3%AA (1oz Leafy hops) for dry hops. It definitely doesn’t need more bittering. The aroma is fine. What it needs is less sweetness (hopefully lowering FG helps) and lots more citrus...

The first picture posted was prior to transfer to secondary. The second picture was prior to transferring to the keg. I should have labeled them, but I posted them to show how it had time to clear in the secondary. Total fermentation time was 11 days. I agree that a secondary isn’t required...

Top: Beer before transfer to secondary Bottom: Beer before transfer to keg (from secondary) I made a batch of Annivesary IPA from a kit from Niagara Home Brew and Wine here in Buffalo, NY. The ingredients were 3.3lbs of Pilsner Light liquid malt extract, 1 pound of Gold Dried malt extract...

I apologize as I originally asked a questing about an English Style IPA rather than specifying that my concern was more about the final gravity than the specific beer. I then switched over to the current batch I was making called "Anniversary IPA" which I think is more like an American IPA, but...

I have a batch of Anniversary IPA which had a SG of 1.062 and a suggested FG of 1.015. I'm worried that a FG of 1.015 will make it a bit sweet tasting as well but I haven't tried any yet. If that happens to be the case, would this Gluco (or another yeast) allow me to get the FG down closer to...

Thank you for the tips all. I've only made 5 batches to date so I've still got a lot to learn. Most of them have been a bit too sweet for my taste and this information should really help me fine tune my process.

Thank you and I apologize in advance if this is a foolish question but how do I tell if the malt I'm using is a caramel malt or a dry malt? Does all malt extract add a level of sweetness? I ask because my latest (not yet taste tested) batch called "Anniversary IPA" used 3.3lbs of Pilsner Light...

Yeast: Nottingham 1 packet Mash Temp: I added the grains (in a bag) to the cold water and heated the water to a boil. I then removed the Grains and added 1/2 gallon of cold water to lower temp to 160F. I then added 2 pounds of the dry malt extract and 1 pound of wheat and oats and let this...

Thanks for the tips on this....6 years later. :) I ended up having the same problem with some perlick 630ss faucets and fixed the problem with a little Beer Keg lubricant. The perlicks are only a few months old but one started feeling really restrictive so a little lubricant at the top seal...
