Never dry hopped in the keg before. I had a crystal clear IPA that was getting a bit old in the keg and I wanted to freshen up the hops a bit. Added 3oz of dry hops in a stainless mesh cylinder . The beer while hoppier now looks like orange juice. Is this typical? Will it eventually drop...

So I've had this issue for a while. I'll make a 1L starter for a brew that has a OG of around 1.050-1.069ish Even so, I'm over attenuating by 5 - 8 points almost every time. My last pale ale, WLP001 OG 1.055 Expected FG 1.011 Actual 1.005 My last wheat ale. WLP320 OG 1.048 Expected FG...

I'm not sure what's going on. I started with RO water and added salts to build a pale ale profile. When I measured the mash at room temp I was reading 5.0 dead on instead of 5.3. Here's the Adjustment summary. I had the grain bill and batch sizes all correctly entered into the spreadsheet...

Just finished my 5 Tap Frigidaire 7.3 cu/ft build this weekend. 2x8 Collar gives just enough room to fit the 5th keg on the compressor hump, pretty sure I coulda squeezed a 6th in there but I didn't want it to be crazy crowded in there. External 20LB CO2 Tank running to a Taprite 5 way...

All late hop additions to give it a smooth bitterness and put the emphasis on the fruit / citrus character of the hops to hopefully pair well with the mango. Mango IPA 21-A American IPA Date: 6/6/15 Size: 5.5*gal Efficiency: 85.0% Attenuation: 80% Calories: 221.47*kcal per 12.0*fl oz...

here's my local water report: http://www.gswater.com/southwestCCR/ I've run the numbers through EZ Water and Bru'n Water. I'm going for a IPA profile. EZ water kinda makes sense, Bru'n makes my head hurt. I can't seem to make sense that I'd need in upwards of 6ml of 88∞ lactic...
