Esteemed HBT community, I come to you as a humble brewer seeking input on a WC IPA recipe that I've been building. WC IPA is one of my favorite styles and yet I've never really brewed one because I generally prefer to brew beers in the 4-5% ABV range. But, a lot of friends and family are IPA...

Hi all, looking to brew my first altbier in the near future. I cobbled together the below recipe, which appears to be pretty much down the middle of the fairway based on my research into others' recipes. I'm really all over the place on the yeast selection - I keep waffling back and forth...

Hi all - curious what your current hopping schedules are for a basic APA. I've always brewed a classic (outdated?!) 60/20/10/0/DH schedule, but sometimes feel like distinct characteristics get "crowded" with such a skew towards hot side additions. Thinking about doing a simple Pils/Vienna malt...

Hi all - I'm somewhat new to kegging my homebrew and am running into a first-time issue (for me) with my latest batch. I force carbed at ~22 PSI for about 36 hours, then turned down to serving pressure and pulled a pint. First pint was very cloudy and sour as hell, even though the beer was...

Hi all - wanted to share a recipe that has become a major crowd pleaser in my household, and it's the perfect beer as we enter Spring here in the northeastern U.S. Have brewed it three times and the kegs are always gone in the blink of an eye. Will be a near-permanent fixture in my kegerator...

Hi all, Haven't brewed too many NEIPAs, but am planning on brewing one for a birthday party this spring and I have a few questions. Whenever I've brewed NEIPAs in the past, I've generally brewed Braufessor's NEIPA from the recipe threads. That said, I have a bunch of unused hops and grains that...

Hi all - soliciting some general feedback on Imperial Yeast's A01 House Strain. I've never brewed with their yeasts but generally hear great things. Looking for likes, dislikes, best practices, etc. I'm specifically planning on using it in an English Golden Ale that I'm making for a birthday...

Hi all - I have a pound of Strata from YVH but have never brewed with the hop before. Planning on doing my "house" NEIPA recipe with Strata and Citra together. Curious if folks have a suggested ratio for hopping....I'm currently planning to use a 2:1 Strata:Citra ratio but like I said, I have no...

Hi all, Thinking about brewing up a NEIPA with a few firsts involved: first time using Nectaron, first time using Cosmic Punch yeast, firt time mash hopping. Any input is greatly appreciated - thanks! HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Nectaron/Citra NEIPA Brew Method: All Grain Style Name: Specialty...

Hi all, I've always ordered ingredients from Northern Brewer and/or MoreBeer, but want to cut down on shipping costs, wait times and carbon footprint. Unfortunately, I haven't been impressed by any LHBS on Long Island, and the only one worth a damn has since closed. Does anyone have a...

Hi all, I've been wanting to brew a dark mild and found the recipe posted on Crisp's website (https://crispmalt.com/en-us/recipes/dark-mild/). I've made some adjustments for my system and preferences, but wanted to poll this community to see if anyone has brewed it. Even if you haven't brewed...

Hi all, long time listener first time caller. I'm looking to get away from my usual obsession with hazy NEIPAs and want to brew a bigger (old school?) West Coast IPA with a little bit more malt backbone for the winter months here in the American northeast. Also targeting a big Piney/Citrusy hop...
