Racing stripes :)

Towel wrap dropped the temp to 72F

OK, not an IPA, but I decided to do this yesterday: Brew Method: Extract Boil Time: 15 min Batch Size: 23 liters (fermentor volume) Boil Size: 15 liters Boil Gravity: 1.032 STATS: Original Gravity: 1.057 Final Gravity: 1.011 ABV (standard): 6.03% IBU (tinseth): 57.73 SRM (morey)...

But would it be worth trying out?

So out of curiosity, then, freely admitting that this was the result of playing around without any clue as to what I am doing ( :) ) what would you call something like this? How do you think it would turn out?

How would this look for an all-extract IPA? Brew Method: Extract Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 23 liters (fermentor volume) Boil Size: 11 liters Boil Gravity: 1.130 STATS: Original Gravity: 1.062 Final Gravity: 1.012 ABV (standard): 6.63% IBU (tinseth): 43.62 SRM (morey): 11.15...

Why use LME vs DME? What is the real difference between the two when doing all extract brewing, how do they affect the product? TIA

Can you elaborate? I was also told at the shop that DME rather than dextrose would help resolve this is future batches for just that reason.

Cracked a red ale made from a Brew Canada kit a week ago, sampled again today. It has been in the bottle for 4 weeks. The beer tastes thin and cidery to me, not offensive, but certainly below my expectations. I added only dextrose, per the kit instructions. Today I cracked an IPA from a...

Popped the first one today, 1 week in primary, 3 in secondary with the dry hopping for the last week, and 3 weeks in the bottle. Good carbonation, nice head, good clarity, and most important - tastes great!

I tried 1-1/2 oz. in 1 gallon, three bottles: Hockley Dark, 1 liter swing top; Mill Street Tank House, and Steam Whistle. Left for 2 weeks. Didn't touch them at all. I would be happy to have a real solution.

So here is a "is this normal?" question: Picked up a hop bag when I bought the hops, was told I didn't need to worry about infection from the hops, but thought I should do something with the bag. I thoroughly wetted it in StarSan, wrung it out, dropped in the hops, tied a piece of fishing...

Racked to the secondary today, looking at an ABV of ~ 4.86%. I picked up a 56g package of Amarillo yesterday, planning on dropping it in for the last 7 days before bottling.

Fairly new to this "sport". Tonight I dropped a Thomas Cooper's IPA into the primary. Used 454g Munton's Spraymalt Plain Light and 800g of dextrose. Temperature adjusted OG is 1.043, so I am hoping for ~ 5% ABV. I pitched the Coopers yeast in the kit. I like hoppy beers and I was wondering...
