Do it man! And tell me how it went :) i will try playing a bit more with the tool later today to try to figure it out if I can put it all in correctly :) Will report back if I manage to get it. Maybe you work it out if u make a recipe for your extract batch in the tool :)

Yes this is what I am thinking now. And with regards to your previous response this makes sense. Though there is a checkbox "late addition" for the DME. When I check this and select "fermenter", from dropdown, eveything goes to 0 😅 Looks like the tool thinks I get 0 IBU if I just do hop tea and...

Yes of course. But in the recipe creator there are 3 fields, hence my confusion. And it does not calculate the ibus to be the same as the IBU calculator does. Does the DME have an impact on the ibus? In the recipe I should maybe then have Size in fermenter: 19L (or 20 if I wish) pre boil: 5L...

Sounds interesting indeed! :) Thanks for leaving it herr, both for me to read later and useful for others most likely. Yes :) Getting a very good picture of my recipe and everything now. Thanks for continuing to clearify all my silly follow up questions :D One small semi relevant thing I was...

Good to know :) For this time, I think I will not boil the DME at all, just the hops. Yes (y) I am so excited :D witj that little hops needed for the boil, maybe the remainder of 100g is enough for the dry hopping? I am starting to now have a great idea of how to do everything for this brew :)

Got it :) And no problem, I have a bit hard time to keep up too haha. Hmm yeah that is what I was thinking. Actually 250g would be "cheaper" in that case, but how well does hops store? Hmm yes. I was just in the Sauna (oh yeas I am that Finnish lol), and started thinking about my hop time at...

Oh cool! Thanks for the tips again. Maybe I can get away with an even smaller pot in that case. Not sure though, might just buy a bigger pot but still boil less. Could be good to have a big one for the future. Yes absolutely. Sorry I did not mean to sound unappreciating or anything :) I have...

Yea true. That simplifies it even further. Boil 9L water 45min 15' 65g Chinook 13AA Pellets to the boil Mix 2.5KG DME LIGHT in fermenter with room temp water. Pour worth into fermenter and top off with cold water. Pitch yeast at 21C (hole package dry) Dry hop 60g Chinook pellets after 7...

Yes! Saw that thread already. Looks interesting :) Though I thought that was aimed for people making smaller batches? I kind of want the best of both world for this first "real" brew, hopefully made possible using partial boil :)

OK thanks for confirming! You now mean total boil time would be 45? And then I see when the hops should be added and amount for my target IBU? Dry hops maybe 60g then for a 19L batch (fermenter)? I am so all over the place with all hops. I wanna try all but I have decided one hop now and...

Hi jrg! Thanks for your input. Will look into the litterature. And yea, I understand it's about getting a feel and experience down at first, but at the same time I want my first to be as good as possible :) The recipe and "knowledge" is getting there. Why do you recommend mixing the yeast in...

More and more great info! I will decrease my "hoppings". Thanks! What ratios would be adviseable for bittering vs dry? Also at what time is ideal for bittering? Think I will take your advice and opt for Chinook instead of cascade! EDIT: I played around and noted that 65g Chinook at 15min will...

Think I have ever had a stone IPA ones, so I can't really remember. I love me a Punk IPA from brewdog. So maybe that bitterness could be a target? That one uses a million different hops though so it is a bit out of my skillset for a first batch, but in terms of IBU maybe? Adjusted the recipe...

Hmm okay. I just now read about the BU:GU ratios (IBU to Gravity Unit). They say here that for example an Imperial IPA could have a ratio of 1 or more while a maltier style doppelbock could be 0.5 or less. As my OG in the recipe is now 1.048, that would mean that I could have a IBU of 48 for a...

oh okay. Got it. What does onus mean? sorry.. stepping grains?

Yes I am aware of the sugar calculations :) So how do you suggest I bump the bitterness? I add another hopping instead of moving an existing one? Or? My understanding so far has been that hopping during the boil increases the bitterness, especially in the beginning?

Thanks for the feedback! I will look into those threads! I should have 30x750ml bottles at my disposal. Eventually. Still drinking the last batch haha. But thought I could at least do the primary fermentation while the bottles are still in use. Regarding the use of table sugar, are there any...

Recipe update This is what I have come up with so far: Matheos IPA | American IPA Extract Beer Recipe at Brewer's Friend The most uncertain part of it is the yeast. I know I can get that yeast from my store but how much I need for a batch, I have no idea. The rest is very inspired from the 15min...

Thanks for mentioning that buddy. I don't think that has been mentioned. Would it also be OK to simply mix the DME before turning the stove on? Maybe I would have to stir until I get it to a boil in that case, but would that technically be OK or are there any drawbacks to that approach...

Yes you are right. I am getting hung up on details. Though, I am very interested in how to brew as well as possible. I have gotten a lot of great tips on here, and I have definately learnt more today than so far in my brewing "career". I am sure with all the tips and instructions, recipes and...
