Thank you so much for the input. I have some tahoma, willamette, centennial and Columbus as well. The tahoma is a really nice hop. You think maybe 11bs 2 row and 2 lbs Vienna?

What would you do if somebody gave you pounds of mosaic and el dorado whole hop cones? I want to make an IPA and liked the all mosaic recipe from Northern Brewer. It was good when fresh and actually held up long term. It was: 11 lbs 2 row 1.5 lbs Vienna Malt .5 lb caramel 40 .5 lb...

The White and Zainasheff yeast book recommends pitching a few degrees lower than your fermentation temperature. That book is pretty trustworthy. I wouldn't pitch yeast at 80 degrees.

I am making a beer to hopefully go on tap at a local New York brewery. The grain and hops both have to be 60% New York produced. I had success with a special bitter I made recently and am trying to adapt that recipe. As to the grain, I originally used Maris Otter as a base malt but...

Thanks for the input.

I am going to brew this beer next weekend. How does the hop schedule look? What WLP yeast strain do you think would be good? Original Gravity: 1.071 Final Gravity: 1.021 ABV (standard): 6.55% IBU (tinseth): 55.71 SRM (morey): 11.06 FERMENTABLES: 10 lb - United Kingdom - Maris Otter Pale...

Just finished my first ferment in the grainfather conical fermenter with the cooler chiller. It was a good experience. I want to buy some replacement gaskets and O-rings to have on hand. The problem is that they can't be found anywhere on the internet. Some companies in NZ and AUS have them...

what’s the grain bill, hops for the Irish red?

That looks really nice.

When I used my invert syrup i just put the mason jar in the boil kettle and then fished it out with tongs. All the sugar had dissolved. It was a bit reckless.

That looks great. Never would have thought to use honey!

It’s my first brew with the conical. All my other brews have been in glass carboys. In the end I was using a swamp cooler but couldn’t get the temperature dialed in right where I wanted. Too warm without a swamp cooler and too cool with it. The grainfather is pretty nifty. I have the cooling...

I harvested the yeast via a port in the bottem of my conical fermenter. It smells incredible. Very malty.

I am using my grainfather conical fermenter for the first time and wanted to harvest some yeast just because I can! I used wlp 005. It’s 5 days since I pitched and the beer is at 1.012. That’s my projected FG but it’s still slightly bubbling so I think it will go a bit lower. Fermentation...

I made a chocolate milk stout and added the nibs the same way. It turned out great. Looks fine to me.

Try putting it in your ear.

I was putting my East Kent Goldings into a muslin bag for my 10 minute hop addition and they fell through the bag onto the wet dirty floor. I forgot I had cut that bag in 2 on an earlier brew. I had no more hops left but somebody offered me some Tahoma hops. I have never used that hop before...
