    Getting hop oils in before you rack to primary or during dry hop. Basically the same thing if your below isomerisation (sp) temp. Maybe up the amount on the -140f whirlpool...

    I actually made a decision to not dry hop but instead do the same thing with 180f whirlpool addition and 140f whirlpool addition in equal parts.

    The cara pils is there for body. It's barely a crystal malt at all. I'm pretty sure putting in those high alpha hops at near boiling for 30mins is gonna bring the IBUs up to the 60+ I'm looking for. The warrior gives it 30 alone. As I said Tropicalia is a 65 IBU beer and creature comforts do...

    I emailed Blake at CC today and he confirmed that both crystal and wheat are in the beer at small amounts. Beer smith gives those IBU values for the hops at the end based on a 30min steep time. The water will be 175-200 degrees for at least 30mins so that should impart the flavor and aroma...

    Thanks for breaking down those ratios from the podcast :) Do you think adding some cara-pils would help with the mouth feel a little bit? Heres what i built in brewsmith2 for my 3.80 gallon brew (i cant boil more than 5 gallons)... Tropiclonia M.I.A.B. (Mash in a bag in a cooler) -...

    Best way to mash small batches (1,5 gallons/6 liters)?

    Really? Because I had harsh tannic beer and did it again and didn't run the tail into it and Viola problem solved.

    True Fermentation Temp in Water Submerged Carboy

    I'm wondering my true wort temp with a submerged carboy. I do 2.5-3.5 gallon batches and I've chilled each one this way with swapping ice bottles out during the first few days of active fermentation then stop swapping and finally pull it from the water after a week or so raise temps to 70amb...

    Wyeast 1272 had the smallest and fastest krausen I've seen to date and it made the best beer I've tasted yet. Are you trying to get a big head here ;)

    Easy water profiles?

    I mean why study equations or buy any brewing literature when all you have to do is pay $7.99 to not think.

    Is How to Brew by John Palmer worth buying for an experienced brewer?

    I got it for Christmas. Its simple and in depth. A real brewing tool. I love hearing john, tasty, jamil, and others on the BN everyday.

    Easy water profiles?

    But wouldn't it be great if someone did produce profile tablets? I smell a new brewing product.
