I was brewing my house beer which I've brewed tons of times. It's is a 1.042 starting gravity session black ale with all chinook. I'm not sure what went wrong in the brew day but my starting gravity came up short at 1.030. So I dissolved a pound of turbinado sugar in a cup of water and brought...

I just ordered half a pound of citra along with half a pound of simcoe from rebelbrewer yesterday.

Any feedback before I pull the trigger? 6 Gallon Batch 60 Minute Boil OG 1.035 FG 1.009 ABV 3.5% IBU 20 SRM 16.5 EFF 70% 6.5lb Maris Otter .5lb Crystal 60 .5lb Flaked Oats .25lb Brown Malt 3oz Special B 3oz Pale Chocolate 2oz Black Patent I will mash at 154 1oz...

No, no ability to purge it. Maybe I'll just leave it for a week and then transfer to a 5.5 or 6 gallon one when it opens.

So i racked my bock today to start the lagering process but all i had free was a 6.5 gallon carboy. Should i be concerned about oxidation with sitting 5 gallons of beer in a 6.5 gallon carboy for 4-6 weeks?

Well looks like it's set i'll stick with my gut and go with the original. Thanks Yooper cutting the IBU's back might be a good idea to play more on the flavor/aroma.

What about it 1oz warrior @60 1oz cascade @20 1oz amarillo @10 .5oz cascade @10 1oz amarillo @0 .5oz cascade @0 1oz amarillo dry 1oz citra dry maybe back the two row by a pound

I've been brewing for a couple years but have never brewed an IPA. I decided it was time and created this puppy below. I would appreciate any feedback. Batch Size 6 gallons Boil Size 7.2 gallons for 60mins Efficiency 70% OG 1.069 FG 1.015 (banking on a bit lower due to low mash temp) IBU...

I finally got the recipe dialed in. I figure third time the charm. I decided to go all chinook because it's my favorite hop and being that I created this recipe to satisfy my personal taste it just seems right. 6 gallon batch collected 7 gallons for boil. SG 1.042 FG 1.010 44IBUs 28.5...

Brewing a 1.044 Scottish ale this weekend

I had no reason to panic, poured my first pint of the batch last night and man is it great. When I brew this again i don't even think I'll drop the hop bitterness just gunna add a bit of crystal 60 and call it a recipe.

I would do half a pound on the crystal and the carafa then maybe add like 3oz of chocolate for a darker color?

You should be fine, just rack it to the bottling bucket and you won't regret it.

I have only ever batch sparged and from my first all grain batch i've always had 75 to 80% effecientcy.

I've been using Brewpal for awhile now. This difference for the change in two row and crystal was the original recipe was 1.043 SG where after idropped it half a pound and added crystal it went to 1.044. Sounds great just really wanted a second opinion this is the first recipe i've ever tried to...

I mashed at 154 and i'll take a look at mashing higher. The original recipe was 8lbs two row and half pound of carafa 3. When i dropped the two row to 7.5lbs and added the crystal the gravity comes out the same in my software. I guess the real question i have is do you think the crystal is...

I brewed this before with just two row and carafa 3 and it turned out great but am looking to add a little body. I'm happy with the hop schedule but just looking to to make this final tweak to the grain bill. What do you think? sg 1.044 fg 1.010 4.4% abv and about 45-50 IBU's 5.5 gallon...

any takers?

I'm looking to brew something around 1.045 starting gravity. I want to mash with libbys pumpkin and use spices. I'm been playing with some recipes from the past and am flirting with just dropping the base malt a bit to reach this but I think it might off set the pumpkin and spice balance. Does...

Brewed a session Black IPA yesterday which i'm looking very forward to.
