    Dry Hop with Nugget

    Thanks for advice. I think instead of fry hopping with nugget. I will just use the other 1/2 of Nelson (60% actually) in the dry hop! My OCD doesn’t like to use .4 Oz when I can just round up to a half!

    Cream Ale Cream of Three Crops (Cream Ale)

    I don’t mind a little higher IBUs. My last batch was a 5gallon cream ale with 1 Oz of williamette at 60 and 1 Oz Saaz at 20. I am going to do 1/2 Williamette/crystal at 60 Then move the other half of crystal to 20. See how that works.

    Cream Ale Cream of Three Crops (Cream Ale)

    I am brewing this today, but had to cut in half. Would it be too hoppy if I kept the 1oz of williamette and crystal at 60 mins? Or could I do 1/2 Oz @60 and then use the other half for late addition hop?

    Dry Hop vs Whirlpool?

    Thanks for replay. Over the years I expanded on my version of a cream ale. I am IPA drinker most friends and family are BMC drinker. I appreciate a light body ale, but try to add some of those late hops so the BMC drinkers can start to appreciate hops in beer.

    Dry Hop vs Whirlpool?

    Making a cream ale using Williamette (60 min) and Saab (20 min). Going to add 2 Oz of Citra Cryohops for some aroma. whirlpool at 170? Dry hop 5-7 days? I halve read that whirlpool inparts a little flavor, while dry hoponly provides aroma. thoughts? Preferences?

    Tweaking A Kit

    Wife bought me an extract beer kit for the holiday. Pretty sure this was to go with the kegerator which hasn’t shown up yet. I haven’t used extract since my 2nd brew many moons ago. I figure if I brew as is, it will be a little too close to BCM The kit is a American Cream ale. I have my own...
