Apologies. I copied the content from another post off mine month or so ago. The beer has been bottled and carbonated for 2.5 weeks now and is fantastic. Yes, I’m asking about color. I love black ipas but I love this beer. I was curious if there’s a way to combine the two with this recipe.

i brewed a NE hazy IPA and it’s awesome! I love this beer’s happiness and the tropical, pineapple nose. Great, great beer. Here’s the recipe. Recipe 12lbs 2row 2.5 flaked pats 1.75 flaked wheat 1# hulls Yeast 2 packs 1272 Mash 152 45 mins after hotbreak add 1lb lactose 60 mins add hops at...

im looking to brew an all-grain 5 gallon ipa that has the body and flavor of a 7% big boy but clocks in at sub 4% ipa. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

What temp are you mashing? I just did an imperial stout with lactose added to the boil. The flavor is very nice but a hair sweet. The OG was around 1.09 but I could only get the FG down to 1.026. This left it with a lot lower abv around 8% instead of the 10ish I was going for. And again, a bit...

has anyone brewed/experimented with eukenot in their IPA or DIPA? What other hops would pair nicely in a recipe?

Yes, I’m going to get a new one Monday and a backup as well. So I feel better now that the ipa is likely a true 1.012 adjusted for the faulty reading. We also made an imperial stout which showed the final reading of 1.04 and retested today, still 1.04. Adjusting for the the error it’s more of...

so ive made three different ipas with different hops and all taste nice a bitter before bottling. After secondary they have a sweet nose/finish. It’s not a bad flavor but not traditional ipa and something just odd about it. I’m fermenting with the ambient temp in the chest hovering around 65...

Ok, so I just put tap water in the cylinder and tested with my hydrometer. It is coming in at 1.014. I took a chilled beer from bottling Thursday and tested one. It was some carbonation at this stage and the flavor was good. The gravity is coming in at 1.026. There didn’t seem to be much...

My recipe was... 12 lbs Pale Malt 2 lbs Vienna Malt 8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine 8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt *mash at 150 F for 60mins 1.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (60 min) 2.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (Dry Hop 5 days) 1.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (15 min) 1.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (5 min)...

Yes. We racked on top of sugar. We did stir but pulled from the bottling piece. I like the idea of monitoring a bottle. Currently they are all in a closed Tupperware type container and in the bathtub if for some reason they just blow the hell out of each other. I’ll test again maybe tomorrow...

I did take it after adding the priming sugar. And the temp dropped somewhere around 7-10 days after fermentation. The initial fermentation was so vigorous I used a blowoff tube.

I used a hydrometer. I’m pretty sure my measurements are all correct As were the two packs of liquid yeast. I’m afraid the drop in temp caused a stall in fermentation and now i’ll End up with bombs and no beer. The beer tasted great. Is there a way to finagle the pressure daily so they don’t...

ok, so a buddy and I just bottled a double ipa and now we are concerned. We pulled the liquid to take FG but didn’t actually do it until a few hours after finished bottling. The OG was 1.078 and we just tested this same and it was around 1.036. We waited three weeks for fermentation. There...
