    High ABV IPA

    So I need some feedback here on ways to brew high ABV beers, specifically IIPA's. I have a good understanding of how to brew a great IPA. I like them dry, hoppy, about 6-7% ABV and about 60 - 70 IBU (50 /50 mix of bittering to flavor/aroma). I make them with a very simple grain bill, typically...

Every time I make a starter for a brew, I make a little bigger than normal yeast starter and bottle some slurry prior to pitching to save some prime yeast for my next beer. I always sanitize everything and...

    IBU adjustment - or not

    I need some advice from the forum! I brewed an experimental IPA a month or so back and its awesome, but its not an IPA. Its more along the lines of an ESB with an IPA twist and its very bold and good. At the end of the day this beer sits at about 150 IBU's, 70% of which is all in the bitterness...

    240V HLT with PID- Need Help!!!!

    I have been searching the forums for awhile now for some information on how to wire up my HLT. I have a keg that I am using for the vessel and I purchased a PID and SSR (40amp) from Aubern. After looking at their diagram in the instructions I created my own wiring diagram for my system, but...
