Thanks for your input, that was my initial thought, since I had a Trillium IPA a couple hours before having my 2 home brew the second time. Could be that. Can hop flavor fade so quickly? Oxidation? Could be, but that's really fast. Can dissolving the Co2 induce some oxigination if there's some...

Hi guys, So here's my 2nd try at a NE IPA with Wyeast 1318 (hopped with Galaxy, Mosaic and Falconers Flight). About 10 days in the bottle i decided to give one a try. Put one in the fridge for a few hours so it would get down to about 45/50F. And it was simply amazing, color, flavor, and...

Good to know did you get a 4oz 2015 crop bag?

I think the onion/garlic sour after taste is a good description.:mug:

Thanks for the advice I usually get mine from Bell's online shop (Hopunion bag). Though I've used a pack from the local HBS and Farmhouse Brewing Supply too. It was similar

I think the onion/garlic sour after taste is a good description. I'm 100% sure it's Citra because, my beer w/o Citra are fine. And my All citra IPA was full of it! Normal conditionning time, the flavor doesn't go away even after 3 months!

Hey, Every time I use Citra, I get this weird taste, hard to describe. Weird after taste that is not very pleasant. It only happens with Citra. I've use multiple packs of Citra that are fresh. I use in reasonable dosages. I've had a ton of Craft Beer with Citra that taste good and don't have...

Hi, Looking to hand trade the beers in Manhattan or Brooklyn, ISO Trillium, Grimm, Heady Topper, Foundation or anything interesting! Thanks!

65F works well for most ale yeasts I like 2-3 weeks fermentation and 2-3 weeks bottle conditionning so the beer is ready to drink in 4 to 6 weeks

All is stated in the title Not sure if anyone is interested in Other Half FT: Other Half Suparillo Other Half Grits & Greens ISO: Zombie Dust (just came back from Chicago but couldn't find it!) Any Treehouse (though I'm going there next month) Open to anything I'm new at this, so I would...

I didn't read all 6 pages, but wow I would start with a Two Hearted Ale

I don't really get the point of this thread... Session just means it's low ABV that's it, you can have low ABVs and still have the quality of a standard IPA On the other hand I don't understand the reason why anyone would bump up the ABV with sugar just to get an unpleasant alcohol taste most...

It could be that you had uneven hop flavor in a batch. It happened to me once. Never understood why some bottles had a great aroma and flavor, other's were more watered down and flavorless. Could be oxidation, uneven carbonation, sanitization in some bottles...

I always account for 15% loss from trub/dry hops

If it tasted fine, then it's not the beer's fault Maybe the beer + food mixed increased the acidity in your stomach and caused heartburn? Alcohol can cause acid reflux especially if your meal had lots of fats Or else it could be unrelated to beer/dinner and you could have ingested a...

I like the recipe Though the 1 oz amarillo @ 45 is a waste IMO

Depends on what beer they are. For hop forward beers, yes they get better before they aren't anymore. To me the window perfect window is between 4 weeks to 3 months in bottle. Some hops age better than others. I drank one of my Columbus IPAs 6 months later and was amazing. Centennial or Citra...

You could easily triple your dry hop addition for more flavor/aroma. Also, how long do you dry hop for?

This won't help, but IMO 1.052 is a better SG for a White IPA than 1.067 unless it's a double

Put foil on to prevent suck back Once the carboy has reached stable temp put airlock/blowoff back on
