love it too :mug:

Oops agreed... I meant OG Thanks everyone! :tank:

Thanks for the greetings, Well I only tasted the first, and it was decent but made a lot of mistakes during the process. I'm doing 1 gallon batches until a nail consistently every step. The second was botteld last friday, third is currently dry hopping with chinook and citra. Yes i did 4...

The question should be: How could anyone NOT find you? Just type in any brewing question and HBT will come up first

Wanted to say hi, and thank everyone for helping out noobs like me. I'm 29 living in the Lower East Side. Definitely not a convenient city to home brew. New to brewing with just 4 batches to date. (APA, Double IPA, AIPA and last one done this weekend a Citra smash IPA). Anyone else in...

Thanks guys for your input. Let's say I'd like to move on to a 2 gallon batch with the same 4 gallon kettle I use for the 1 gallon batch where i get a 33% boil off rate... What should be the boil off rate for the 2 gallon batch? Should I also be losing 0.5 gallons (thus a 20% boil off rate)...

Any news? Seemed interesting :drunk:

I use a 4 gallon kettle, i do a nice rolling boil with the lid half way on Thanks for your help!

Is this normal? Start off with 1.5 gallon and end with 1 Thanks!

Thanks for responses Any water bottle? I'm concerned about food grade / not food grade plastics. Are the below good to brew beer? http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?sku=66273 http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?sku=68027 Sorry for the noob questionning, thanks! I have been...

Hey guys, I'm looking for 1 gallon PET carboys.... Does that exist? Thanks :mug:

that's a 12 oz hopstand :p love it gotta try that on my next batch, but i can't keep my wort warm enough for a 30 min hopstand, do you keep the lid on?

that's a 12 oz hopstand :p love it gotta try that on my next batch, but i can't keep my wort warm enough for a 30 min hopstand, do you keep the lid on?

I did mostly late hops additions 0.3 oz centennial @ 60 0.4 oz (half centennial / half cascade) @ 15 0.5 oz amarillo @ 5 0.4 oz cascade @ 0 + hopstand to 170F The wort didn't taste too bitter but had a lot of aromas Wow 3.6 oz per gallon, thats huge! how much in late addition?

Hi guys, Thanks for your help and comments, really helped me through the process. Brewed a 1 gallon batch of IIPA this weekend with 3 lbs of grains and 1.6 oz of hops (very very hoppy). Planning to leave it 2 weeks in fermenter (with 0.5oz of cascade dry hop for the last 5 days) before cold...

Guys thanks for your advice! I got a cooler and can easily fit four 1 gallon carboys. I can maintain around 65F with 2 iced bottles of water changed daily if i close the lid. My noob question is: is keeping the lid of the cooler shut bad for the fermentation? does the air need to escape out...

Or racking directly to the bottles? or is that not recommended

Got it guys, but how do you predetermine how much beer you'll get out of the primary to calculate how much sugar is needed? I'm currently using my bottling bucket as a fermenter, so i would have to rack it to another container, then rack it back to the bottling bucket. How long can a beer sit...

Every time you rack it from a container to another doesn't that bring in more oxygen that ruins flavors?

OK well in that case, this batch will most likely taste awfull. Took a sample of the beer on Saturday, gravity is 1.016. So it seems that the fermentation has been going well (attached picture of the sample). The color has become much lighter. It smells and tastes like a flat beer that's been...
