Hi Everyone, Making the good old Average NEIPA, had a pack of London Fog and made a 1.5L starter. I somewhat ran into what I though might be dead yeast. Didn't see much activity in the airlock (yes I use one after 24 hours). I don't have a stir plate to I just swirl it every so often. I got...

I have finally acquired a kegerator with two Corny Kegs that I would like to use for a party on the 15th of August. I have done a lot of research and I need some help with what to do. Situation: I have a Lager that’s been lagering for 2 months in a secondary. I have a NEIPA that I brewed 9...

I’m making the traditional Zombie Dist clone as I quite like it. This is my 5th batch of this beer and the only difference is I subbed Citra for Mozaic. Brew day went well, pitched two packs of S04 rehydrated. Fermented for 10 days and I dry hopped. Was going a 3 day dry hop but today will be...

Im making my first NEIPA and following a recipe that called for Citra/Galaxy/Mosaic. I could only get my hands on Mosaic/Amarillo/Idaho 7. Currently I’m on Day 7 of Fermentation all in Primary of a 10 day target schedule. First dryhop was on day 3 when fermentation was almost finished (7 day...

I was pulling my IPA out of the fridge after a 48 hour cold crash and when I pulled up my app I realized it's only been 13 days since Brew Day. I messed up by a week! I was aiming for a 3 week primary. Gravity was constant for 3 days, I dry hopped on day 7, cold crashed on day 10 to day 12 and...

Making a Stella Clone for the Father In law. https://beerrecipes.org/Recipe/2584/stella-clone.html OG came in a LITTLE high but I also had an extra LBS of malt to try and adjust for inefficiencies. 8 Days fermented at 53 degrees - it had pretty much stopped bubbling for 2 days (bubble every 1...

I still use secondaries, especially for my Lagers and I’m starting to think I need to be better when transferring. I was wondering, if I took my whip cream maker, put a co2 cartridge in it (16g) and ran it into the glass carboy, would that be enough co2 to push out all the O2? Thanks, Robb

I have done a lot of search on these forums and google and have a much better understanding of lagering/diacetyl rests. But the one thing I couldn’t find is, when should I start checking gravity of my beer? I don’t want to take a sample every day as I feel that’s a waste. My goal is to get to...

I’m a really big fan of these extra pale IPAs with a tropical fruit focus. Most I enjoy list their ingredients and I noticed a lot use wheat and oats. My question is, what would be a basic grain bill to start with? I imagine the base grain is 2 row and oat and wheat playing compliment. Can...

I have the annual water report from the water plant for our region but when I read the massive chart of chemical testing, I don’t even see chlorine so I’m wondering if I need to get a different report. The PDF can be found here http://www.halton.ca/common/pages/UserFile.aspx?fileId=152959 Page...

I get this with a lot of my homebrews, they first sip is a bit more bitter than I would like and has a earthy taste to it. Too much earthy. Then it gets dry in the cheeks. However, after two sips, I feel like the taste and dryness somewhat subsides. Now the beer is green, is this what to...

Hi there, I finally made the jump to all grain brewing. I’ve done one with my cousin who brews quite a bit and now 2 on my own. I made the zombie dust clone: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/5916/zombie-dust-clone-all-grain I felt like it was almost the perfect brew, but I...

I have brewed a few batches now and I am starting to get the hang of it but I had a question on volume. My typical brew is fairly standard, start with 2.5 to 3gal of water,steep specialty grains for 20-30 min at desired temp, add LME, bring to a boil, 60 minute with hop schedule. Irish Moss...

Besides the obvious, too much sugar, I am trying to figure out what went wrong on my second batch. It was an soup can batch (pre-hopped kit), Coopers Hefe. Made it with 500g Dry Wheat Grain steeped at 160 for 20 min + 450 of Dex. OG was 1038, fermented in primary for 1 week and then...

I have probably read every article on the net around this topic and I am still looking for final advice. I know it's not ideal to dry hop these but she's in the secondary already and don't have a choice. Made a Coopers Hefe Kit. As I have been reading, the dry yeast the kit comes with has...

I just did another soup can brew (pre-hopped extract kit). Coopers Hefe Wheat Beer. I didn't have the 1kg of Dry Wheat Extract so the brew place gave me 500g of Dry Wheat Grain and 300g Dextrose. Please let me know where I can improve and if I should be worried about this batch. - Brought...

Hi there, I have one beginners kit under my belt with a Coopers APA which is currently in bottles. I am on to the Coopers Hefe Wheat beer but my brew shop didn't have Dry Wheat Malt like the Recipe called for. They gave me 500G of Wheat Malt in grains. I have three questions: I want to...
