    Great Lakes Hops - Paradigm. First Impressions

    I bought these through Hang'Em High Hops when I heard about them on a podcast a couple months back. The 6oz can has sat in my freezer, unopened for about 3 months. I was told by my wife that I needed to start using some of my hops from the deep freezer to provide room for food (what a joke!), so...

    MaltoDextrin in Russian Imperial Stout?

    So, my thermometer failed me. My mash of 155F was actually 147F due to it being literally banged out of calibration (my 2 year old son found it while I was preparing grains and water salts. My wife saw him using it like a hammer on the garage floor and didn't bother to tell me til after the brew...

    Whats your white whale?

    The beer you always wanted to brew or to perfect but was never able to. The one that got away. The little ****er that messes with you til you can't sleep at night. Ok, not that intense. But you get the idea. (I'm not intending this to be a "help me fix my beer" type of thread) For me, its a...

    How aggressive are hop roots?

    So, my wife allowed me to purchase hop rhizomes this winter for planting near our house. Our original plan was to remove a couple 7' tall bushes that got sun from around 11:30am-9pm near our deck and replace them with a 8'X5' privacy fence where the hops would grow with some horizontal training...

    Parti-gyle Belgian Quad/Sour Saison

    Ok. So. I'm brewing a Belgian Quad next weekend, a recipe I've brewed 2x before, that is pretty darn good. But! I've always hated throwing out 15# of grain that I know are still full of sweet worty goodness. But! I've never wanted to deal with the parti-gyle before. But! now I'm going to. What...

    It finally happened to me...

    I finally got an infected batch. 50-60 5-gallon batches under my belt, 35-40 AG brews, and I got lacto'd. 10 days in the fermenter and the golden ale I brewed last weekend is still bubbling. So I took a sample to check gravity. Cloudy as hell and smelled like sour milk. (I use an ss brewtech...

    My first attempt at an NEIPA. Critiques, please!

    I've attached the recipe below. Any expert opinions or advice is appreciated. I'm not sure which yeast to use. I can go the standard NEIPA route and use an English strain, but I know the Aloha Sculpin is brewed with Brux Trois yeast, and that yeast is super yummy. I also found a clone for the...

    Wit recipe - Wheat help

    Ok, this is one of the first beers I've created (and by created, I've used a lot of input from other recipes on here). It's a Belgian wit, and I think I'm happy with how it'll come out. Ingredients: Best Malz Pilsen Malt 5.5lbs Flaked Wheat (pulverized to a fine powder) 4lbs...

    Yeastcalc.com

    Has it gone the way of the Dodo? I haven't used it in forever, as I usually just pitch straight from the vial for anything under 1.040 and make a 1L starter for anything over... Up to a point. This weekend, I'm looking to make an imperial whiskey bourbon porter (est OG 1.108) and wanted to use...

    Keg dry hopping

    I'm new to kegging my beer, and just brewed an IPA I'd like to dry hop with 2 oz of hops. My question is, can I transfer this to the keg after fermentation, hang a hop sock with the hops on it suspended from the PRV or something, and dry hop like that? Any negative impacts anyone can see? I know...
