I think I will go with 2oz for dry hopping. But I really love centennial for dry hopping. Would you say there are any advantages to using Citra over Centennial other than just preference?

I was thinking about that. Do you think it would make more since to add the Amarillo or the Citra at 20 minutes? I am thinking the Amarillo.

Yup your right I meant to put tsp not tbs...

Depending on the yeast strain the temperature could be okay, but pretty low for most ale yeasts. From what I have read and heard it will just take longer to ferment through. I think that as long as you are within the yeasts designated temp range you will be fine it will just take longer...

What do you think about this combo? Warrior obviously for bittering, Citra and and cascade for flavor and some aroma, and Amarillo for mostly aroma. I'm thinking this would be really amazing but I am very interested to hear what some seasoned hop heads have to say!! Thanks!

So I just cracked open a beer that was in primary for 10 days then bottle conditioned for 11 days. It tastes and smells very musky... I will drink it because I made it, but what the hell.... I have been having this problem with a few different batches and I was wondering if anyone had some...

Hey thanks for the quick reply! Quick question though, will the 1 lb crystal steep not add to the og?

I am making a pale ale to try and find a mix of hops that are to my preference. I want a very simple malt palate to let the hops stand out. As my plan stands now, I am making a 5 gallon batch and I am going to use 6.5 lbs of Light liquid extract and 1 lb of crystal 30 to steep. 2...

Quick Question, I have been trying to brew a partial grain mostly extract IPA for a while now and cannot seem to get the ABV to what the recipe says it should be. I have tried every fix i can imagine. Seriously mixing the yeast, keeping the fermenting temp constant within its specified range...

Hop tea is an alternative to dry hopping (sort of). You create a tea by steeping the desired amount of hops in a french press or just a pot and then add the tea to the beer right before bottling. It adds hop flavor and aroma in my experience with the technique.

I am trying to brew a piney APA and wanted some input on my recipe and really help with my malt selection. I am trying to get a lot of piney and earthy tones that be reminiscent of being at home in the New Hampshire white mountain woods at the beginning of winter. Crisp, woody, and piney is...
