I brewed an IPA today using a partial mash. 5.5lb dme (2lb added 15min boil to reduce carmelization and preserve golden color in final) 1.5 lb 2 row 10oz crystal 10 8oz victory malt A according to hopville my OG should have been 1.060 but it came out to 1.049 any ideas on what happened or what...

That sounds like a great beer... I am a huge hop head myself, but want to brew a wheat beer with some character. 8oz should be plenty for what I am looking for? I am using Citra hops as well...

It doesnt have to be in the boil for at least 15 min to sanitize?

I guess I am not going to fermentables, mainly flavor and smoothness of the beer. Steeping should do the trick with what I am expecting from this malt?

Hey everyone, I am a semi experienced brewer but have not done an all grain batch yet since I am limited on equipment and space. I am thinking of doing an easy extract/specialty grain wheat beer using liberty and citra hops. I was thinking of using Honey Malt for added sweetness and flavor...

I was going to Mash at 150-155 for 45 minutes. Also I was going to add half of my malth extract at 20 minutes boil to attempt better hop utilization.

I used hopville when writing out the recipe... in the past it seems to have worked pretty well. The idea of adding the .25 oz of cascade/centennial sounds like a pretty good idea. I do like bitter IPA's, but i dont want my palette to taste all bitterness.

Thanks for the info on the hops. I will look into dry hopping and see what the consensus is on how many days.. Thanks and Cheers!

Trying to get some feedback on an IPA recipe I devised last week, possibly brewing this Thursday. I do not folow real strict guidelines (BJCP). Any ideas on flavor by the malts/hops i am using? Malts 5.5 Lbs light Dry Malt Extract 1.5 Lbs 2-row 10oz Am. Crystal 10L 6oz victory Malt...

Ahh right on... good to hear you like the nugget hops. I am hoping for a slightly bitter IPA than what I have brewed before. My recipe is as follows 5lb. 8oz Light Dry Malt Extract 1lb. 8oz Briess 2 Row Malt 10oz American Crystal 10L 6oz Victory Malt...

In essence, what i may be brewing may be a slightly hoppy american pale ale?

I really dont brew to BJCP guidelines, but i do use the guidelines as such; as a guide to different types of beers. How much victory would be too much. I am just looking for a unique flavor to an IPA. Is 8% too much to use? Never used the malt before.

Planning on brewing a partial mash IPA with Nugget and Centennial hops. Has anyone used victory malt in an IPA? I am using about 8% of my grist/extract bill. somewhat of an experimental IPA. What about Nugget hops, any comments on those? Mainly using nugget for bittering 60min/45min and...

Yeh that is what i thought. Even when I do partial mashes i still only boil 3 gal. According to the recipe, the hop additions are 6AA kent goldings for 60 min so i know that wouldnt matter with the final product from the bottle.

Hey everyone, I am looking forward to brew my first stout. The recipe is coming from the BYO magazine for last month. I do not have the equipment for all grain, so i am choosing to do the extract with specialty grains. The recipe calls to preform a full boil, which I cannot do. Is there a...

Well I mashed the grains at 154 for 45 minutes and used 1 gal of 170 degree water to sparge. The sparge didn't go so well. The sparge water was nearly clogged in the grain bag is this because the rice hulls were not used. Would I have better sparge if I happen to use them?

I plan on using about 1 gallon of water at 170 degrees to sparge..I am somewhat new to partial mashing, how much rice hulls would someone use?

I am using one lb flaked rye and one lb rye malt as well as some other base malts and specialty grains. Doing a partial mash, rice hulls just help the sugars from the rye filter into the wort?

Brewing a ryePA tomorrow any pointers of what to expect?

What do you use to keep the bag on? Zip-tie?
