I'm in, want to try the tripel kit and see how it compares to my all grain version

I wanted to get some thoughts on this one. Any suggestions are appreciated. Brewer: Red Llama Asst Brewer: Style: Belgian Tripel TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 6.78 gal Post Boil Volume: 6.03 gal Batch Size (fermenter)...

Yes, currently I use .5oz of Amarillo and 1oz of Citra. I have the half ounce left over from my kettle additions so it seems like a good use. In the future when I can obtain Amarillo by the pound I may give it a test run with the full ounce. Here is my hop schedule 1oz Centennial @ 60...

I dry hop my house IPA with Amarillo and Citra and it gives off a great aroma. I don't thin you can go wrong with any of them.

At our brewery (7bbl system) we use a custom hop basket for bittering and other early additions. For late additions we just dump them in the kettle. We found that with our IPA that even though we were whirlpooling we still got a decent amount of hops that were getting into and clogging the...

A couple years ago I used True Lemon packets when making a shandy out of a cream ale. I used 12 packets at bottling time but you could use more/less depending on how much lemon flavor you want.

I'll give you my recipe which turned out great, only problem is that it is all grain so you will have to do a bit of converting. 4# German Pilsner 1# Pale Ale 1# Torrified Wheat .5# Flaked Barley 7grams Coriander at 5 min .25oz Northern Brewer at 60 .5oz Saaz at 30 WLP550 OG...

Thanks for the responses. Like I said I have not seen my yeast look like that before but I am happy all is good

Did my first lager yesterday and first time using dry yeast in years. Brewed, cooled, rehydrated, and pitched last night. Checked this morning and noticed white stuff in the wort? I have never had an infection in 20+ batches and never used lager yeast so looking for some help. If it is an...

check to make sure that you don't have a stray wire from your hot side touching another wire. I had that problem when I wired mine up but on the cold side so the freezer never turned off. Upon review I had one stray strand of wire reaching across the isle to the main power. A quick fix and...

Looks good. Let us know how it turns out. I am in the process of crafting a session version of this as I was a bit loud at the pool the other week. It just goes down too easily for a 6.5% at the pool for me.

I have had the Inkbird controller for a couple months now (since they started advertising on HBT) and have zero complaints. Just like you I wanted the ease of seeing Fahrenheit versus having to convert. Works just like any normal STC just in Fahrenheit. As far as preventing cold air loss...

That is pretty close to the grain bill that I use for my American Wheat (with Mosaic as the only hops). Came out super light and crisp so I would think with that hop bill should be what you are looking for. I typically use WLP029 but I think either of your yeasts will work.

Just did a side by side comparison this evening. Color seems to be spot on. The aroma and flavor both seem to be somewhat subdued compared to the original. I am going to take @mbbransc's advice on the grain bill and see if reducing the maltiness from the pale ale and caramel malts helps the...

I bottled my attempt yesterday morning. Sample had great aroma and tasted pretty good as well. Only "issue" was that my FG was 1.014 vs my estimate of 1.012. Not sure it's going to make a huge difference, but I may drop back on the Caramel 20 next go around to see if that helps. I'll post...

Gave this a go over the weekend: OG: 1.061 FG: 1.012 (est.) ABV: 6.43% IBU: 68 Grains - 10# Pale Ale - 1.5# Caramel 20 - 6oz Flaked Barley Mash - 1.33qt/# @ 152* Hops - 1oz Centennial @ 60 - .5oz Galaxy @ 20 - 1oz Citra @ 10 - 1oz Centennial @10 - 2oz Citra @ 0 - .5oz...

I'm in; good excuse to start kegging
