Yep this is pretty much the idea. @ m00ps: around 3 or 4 oz a gallon

I don't think that's true.. Most of the Double IPAs I've had were overly malty (toffeeish) and sweet which make them nearly undrinkable. I had Nordic Pines from Ithaca beer co yesterday and thought wow what a waste of hops and incredible pine flavor that i can barely notice. That's the whole...

Hi guys, Stupid question, but i'm wondering what a Session Double IPA is? Heavily hopped with low ABV? What do you call a 4-6% IPA that is around 120-130 IBUs? That's how i like my IPAs, double the hops without increasing the grain bill from a standard or session IPA. I feel like the higher...

I actually like having a hope haze in my beer, it tends to add extra flavor

How can you forget hops? We're you :drunk: ?

It's been 4 days now still nothing. The yeast was at room temp when i pitched. Don't know about the date, but I bought the yeast about 1 month ago so pretty recent package. :beard: I know i'm impatient but I've been used to S04 which takes off almost immediately I'm going to pitch the ale...

Add a huge amount of dry hops, it will cover any off flavors due to the heat

Will it ever take off / attenuate correctly or will it just take longer? I'm tempted just to pitch and ale yeast now since there's still nothing.. I have some S04 and 05 ready to go

Thanks for your feedback all, I'm such a noob... I don't have any more of that yeast i would add more if i could. Don't have any nutrient either. Other question: why does 3 gallon in a 3 gallon fermenter require less yeast than 3 gallons divided into 3 1 gallon fermenters?

Hello, After about 10 batches of IPA, DIPA and APA, I decided to give it a go with Wyeast 2112. Almost 2 days in and no activity. I think I screwed 2 things up: -I did 3 gallons divided into 1 gallon carboys. I divided the smack pack into 3 carboys. After using a pitching calculator...

Hey guys, I did a 3 gallon batch IPA and put them into 3 different 1 gallon carboys. I used S-04 yeast in 2 of them and US-05 in 1. How would you dry hop these if you were me? Should i do the 3Cs in all carboys or should i do all columbus in 1 all centennial in the other? What would it...

@arnobg That's what it should look like when the krausen is dropping co2 bubbles and yeast rafts

1.25 lbs per gallon? that would be very low!

Hey, What's your recipe? How much grains quarts/lbs? What was your pre boil gravity? Did you measure it?

I had US04 blow off my foil a few days ago

Same here, Foil for the first 3 days (or blow off if needed) than back to regular airlock

Looks beautiful :drunk:

lol:drunk:

Nothing's wrong, if you can't crash cool it, you'll just have a hop haze... No big deal i actually like it like that (more hop flavor imo)

If you don't want this to happen again take a pre-boil gravity reading and top off to reach your targetted pre-boil OG. Easier to do with a refractometer. Or adjust the hydrometer reading by temp. If you know your boil off rate, you will hit your targetted post boil OG consistently. For...
