    Balancing flavor and bitterness

    I used a brewers best IPA recipe. It called for 3.5 oz. bittering and added.5 ounce aroma at 55 into My boil. I used 4 ounce bittering and 1 ounce aroma. I also used an extra .5 lbs of liquid malt. Was this too much. Bittering?

    Balancing flavor and bitterness

    Are there any good tips on best balancing flavoring and buttering hops for an IPA? I made one that seems a lot more bitter than flavorful. I know that IPA's are supposed to be more bitter. I boiled my flavoring hops (chinook) which is around 13%, for 50 minutes. I added my flavoring hops, which...

    Porter yeast to dough

    This took three days. She used a sourdough method that required 24 hours between feelings. I'll have to try a quick loaf to see. We saved the dough starter so we are going to try another loaf this week. I'll keep you posted.

    Porter yeast to dough

    She is a keeper. I made the porter from extract so could I use steeped grain? The bread was good. I cant wait to get my hands on my nit brown yeast

    "Guilty" confessions of a beer enthusiast

    You eat ****ty nitrate and sulfate infested food covered in MSG but not have a refreshing domestic every now and then and soapbox about it. On top of that drink city water. I'm down with strohs. Not only do they come in 15 packs they are the only flame brewed beer on America or at least they say...

    Help/guidance needed!!

    You don't make the ruler's folks sleep in the cold. Change the sheets and give the ruler chocolate And roses and ask her to sleep in there. Then, when that doesn't work, you explain how relationships are about compromise. Still might not work but worth a try.

    Porter yeast to dough

    I saved my yeast from a robust porter primary. My girlfriend started it as thou she would her sourdough. Not sour not bitter just plain good bread. I'm doing this every time from now on, except for my stacker ipa's.

    Precise boiling?

    I ensure that nothing gets Burnt or stuck to the bottom of my brew kettle. I did, now that you mention it, have some scrubbing to do when I had the bad batches. "can't boil to hot" is what I was looking for, thanks!

    Precise boiling?

    I was using more water than 5 gallons that was my original gravity issue my other issue was that I did not stir dry malt very well the first couple of times. I was diluting my beer which caused my gravity to fall short. I wasn't boiling my steep grains

    Precise boiling?

    I have cooked some beers that tasted burnt even though I had steeped correctly. I was told I boiled too hot. Thoughts? Since then I have managed my boil right at the boiling point. I sometimes dip out of boil momentarily and never let the boil become violent. I have been coming up shy of my...

    Recying yeasy

    Im not freezing i just want to know how the process works for taking yeast from a primary and using it for another beer. I tried once but didn't see any action. I took my trub and drained it as much as possible and then put it In the fridge until I brewed again three days later.
