I wasn't 100% sold that it was bitterness at first, however I gave some samples to several BJCP judges and they both agreed - great beer, but far too bitter.

It wasn't actually a 5 minute boil, but it tasted like the hops had the utilization of 5 mins, even though the boil was dead and the chiller was running.

I tossed them at flameout, then chilled to 160 and then turned off the chiller and let it sit for 30min. It took ~10 minutes to chill (counter flow) 12 gallons down from FO to 160, so I think it ended up being closer to a 5min boil addition in terms of isomerization. 5 minutes of isomerization...

After reading that article I decided to switch my huge NEIPA whirlpool (which I have brewed many times) from 170 to FO. The first time I performed a FO addition, the beer came out INSANELY too bitter. Repeated the same recipe a month later and dropped it to 140 before dumping in the hops and...

Hey there - that was me who brewed that Sabro NEIPA linked above! Just a quick update on that particular recipe - the super potent pineapple flavor eventually faded and was overtaken by coconut. Whether or not the coconut came more from the hops or the toasted coconut is still debated. It was...

I have brewed 2 different versions of this recipe and both have far exceeded my expectations. I struggle to get consistent efficiency but the last time I ended up right at 9% which was my goal. I added an extra 1.5oz of Citra for the 180 degree whirlpool addition and it really came through...

Time to revive this old thread! I scoured the site for a few hours looking for a recipe that I liked and this one seems to be exactly what I am looking for. I am being forced to brew this later than I want to, but I think as long as I get it brewed during October, it should be fine in mid/late...

Hi, has anyone tried this recipe yet? Trying to figure out my next brew and seeing as bodhi is my favorite beer ever I thought I would give this a shot - just looking for some pointers if anyone has brewed it already. I am planning to brew with Wyeast 1056 american ale around 65 degrees...

Thanks a ton, ill plan on dry hopping for sure then. Is there any advantage to dry hopping with pellets over full hops?

Ok, so I went to my LHBS to possibly buy the brewers best imperial pale ale kit, which they did not have in stock. Since I had the recipe on hand, I figured I would do my best to piece together a similar kit. I would love to hear your feedback! Here is what I ended up with: 3 gallon boil...

Thanks for the responses! I stopped by my local home brew store to pick up some Star San and the employee convinced me into transferring to a secondary fermenter. So after I sanitized the piss out of everything I siphoned the beer into the carboy. I was extremely careful to keep the lid on the...

Ok, so long story short, I have been talking about home brewing for quite a while now, and finally got a starter kit for my birthday (from the girlfriend! :rockin: ). My first kit was the brewers best holiday ale. The brew date was Oct. 31, so as of today it has been fermenting for 7 days...
