Yeah, I would avoid this hop all together this year, I brewed a wheat beer and just put it in a keg to start carbonating and it was almost undrinkable. I only used .5 Amarillo and .5 Citra at flameout and it tastes SUPER grassy, absolutely no tropical fruit or citrus what so ever. Dont think I...

Sorry, I guess I am still new to brewing, when do you add the "first wort hop" to the boil? 60 mins? 0.75 oz Citra [12.40%] (First Wort Hop "60 mins???") Hops 17.0 IBU 1.25 oz Citra [12.40%] (15 min) Hops 21.1 IBU 1.25 oz Citra [12.40%] (10 min) Hops 15.4 IBU 1.25 oz Citra [12.40%] (5...

awesome, thanks for the quick response, so I am confused on the HOP additions, is this only a 15 min boil? It says a hop addition is 1.25 ounces at 15 mins then the First Wort Hop of .75 oz when is this added? Also, I have some confusion with the dry hopping, 3 ounces of Citra at 5-7 days...

Are you using the recipe that is on the first page?

So, I am trying to get a rich orange color (like Blue Moon) on this beer I have brewed twice now but for some reason it keeps coming out a light copper instead. Here is what I am using: Grains: 5.5 lbs 2-row 1 lb Honey malt 5 lb White Wheat 8 oz Caravienne 8 oz Munich 10L Other: .5 oz Orange...

Thanks Topher, sounds like I was on the right track with what I was going to do to start with but I wanted to make sure, that is some good info on the dry hopping. I want to dry hop in the keg, I think that will be the best plan of attack, I only have 2 kegs so I will just have to bottle on...

So I brewed my first double IPA on June 26th, now here is some background on the brew my OG came out to 1.110, I am making 3 dry hop additions, 1st with 15 days left, 1 with 10 days left and the last with 5 days left before kegging. I guess my question is how long should I wait before I keg...

I know this question comes up a million times but I have been using all of these calculators and none of them have an option for just rehydrating the yeast only calculations for starters. I guess here is my question, I am about to brew a beer with an OG of 1.061 and the calculators say I would...

I have a kegging system as well but wouldnt your first couple beers be all hop partials if you dry hopped in the keg?

So I am a new to brewing and we jumped into a triple IPA....I KNOW I SHOULDNT HAVE this early in my brewing adventure and I told my buddy who I brew with that but we LOVE them so much that we couldnt wait so that was my first mistake, hahahaha. Anyways, so we added a crazy amount of hops...

"..and stir it like it owes you money.." Yooper, that is AWESOME, I was laughing as I read this, thank you so much for your advise, I will be sure to just do one and stir the crap out of it, hahaha.

I know this is an old post but when you guys are doing a double sparge what is your grain/water ratio for the mash? I am doing a heavy beer (19.5lbs of grain) and I want to double sparge (never done it) to increase my efficiency. A lot of the calculators have me at 10.5 gallons of water...

Thanks for the quick response, I am new to brewing and want to be specific, so I drop in the 1 oz of Columbus and 2 oz of Simcoe at burn out then lower the team to 180 degrees put in an oz each of Columbus, Simcone, Amerillo Gold, and .5 oz of Centennial then cover and hold at 180 degrees for 30...

Can someone explain this? I am reading the recipe and I understand putting the hops at flame out with 0 mins in the boil but what is the steeping process? Does it mean throw all of the hops below in the kettle at flame out lower the temp to around 180 and whirl pool rest of them in? At...

So I am brand new to this MASSIVE thread but the clone on the first page is the most up to date from all the research right and then the comments are people make tweaks to it right? Does the person that started it just go back and edit it all the time?
