Would the use of carapils reduce the residual sweetness? Or am I over thinking this? Is it more important to add the right amount of the right hop types at the right times to get the desired low malt ovour with a lower body and nice hop flavor? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Why is RO Water a no no? I have used it in with apparent issues? If the point of rehydrating is just to rehydrate and the dried yeast why would the water type as opposed to quality be important. Does it need minerals from the water? New to this so just asking. Trying to improve my process...

Should have said I'm trying for an ipa that's more hoppy than malty. I hope I have the right hops. LHBS ran out if safale 05 so got 04 instead. I hope this wont make affect the final outcome I'm hoping for a dry hoppy ipa? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Cheers billl. That makes sense to me now. I used to think it was by wt so I was thinking of only using 3/4 lb of the crystal in my brew based on wt. Thanks for the clear explanation. Much appreciated. If I use 1/2 and 1/2 of the two crystals To add to 1lb should still be under 10% but I'd...

I'm a newbie to brewing so leaving out adjusting the water at the moment. I take all my water from a 5 stage RO filter system so I'm assuming that it good. As for the hops I'd gladly take on board any recommendations. I'm thinking of dry hopping this batch in a secondary. I might sub in some...

That was my thinking about . I'm going for a pale ale. The last 2 brews I have done ( only 2) gave a caramel sweetness to them which is just a bit overpowering but I used 120 and then 120 with 60 caramel malt. I'm hoping by reducing the Ecb values of the malt to 5 for the carapils and 60 that...

I am thinking of brewing a batch tomorrow. Extract and grains. I have carapils and crystal 60. I see that most people recommend only 10% crystal in a grain bill. I have 6.5 lbs of light extract so how much if the crystal should I use. I don't want to get loads of maltiness to the beer. I have...

Should have mentioned that this was a 23l batch so I upped all the ingredients a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I had a beer my neighbor brewed a Sierra Nevada ipa clone. It was delicious but had a sweet taste at the end of every sip. Would the substitution for sugar get rid of that? Thanks for the recipes again but took your earlier advice and winged it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks for all the advice but i took boydster's n the end and made up my own. See below. 27/28g =1oz. Us Connemara boys can't do the imperial math that easily. Should be real hoppy and if my ( the Internet) calculations are right it should finish at about 5%abv. All comments welcome. DrumaKeg...
