Thanks for all the comments guys... with the IPA i'm doing the hop bill is at 68 IBU with 18.2 Summit and 8.9 Amarillo. For some reason I want to make a bunch of hop additions and have some high Alpha hops here. I fudged with it a tiny bit .5 summit 60 Min .5 Amarillo 20 Min .5 summit 15 Min...

The hop schedule maybe would look something like this .5 oz Summit @ 60 Min .5 oz Amarillo @ 20 Min .5 oz Summit @ 10 Min .5 oz Amarillo @ 10 Min .5 oz Summit @ 5 Min .5 Oz Amarillo @ 5 Min .5 oz of each for dry hopping

For some reason I didn't toss my hops in the fridge right away. I have had 3 1 oz packs (vacuum sealed) in my basement of Saaz and German Tradition. Are these OK to use?

I am somewhat intrigued and I'm not sure why about creating an IPA with the mixture of these two hops. I know Amarillo has already become almost overused with some IPA's but what Summit. What do you guys know about this hop? would this be a good mixture?

Thanks for the notes, i will be retooling a little

This is my second attempt at writing a recipe. what do you make of it? What about the hop usage? Thanks guys I appreciate the help. 7 lbs. - Light DME 1/2 lb - US Caramel 40L Malt 0.50 lb 6.3 % 3.8 In Mash/Steeped 1/2 lb - Victory Malt 0.50 lb 6.3 % 2.6 In Mash/Steeped Hops: 1 oz -...

I am brewing a dubbel this week, and I was wondering how long I should let it sit in a fermenter. I know that I read a recipe for a tripel that recommended that the beer sit in a secondary for 9-12 months. What about a dubbel?

No I got that much... I was wondering what is different (for mash only grains) between the processes. It seems like mashing is only steeping except that water is poured through it... I just wasn't sure what the difference is. It however has been somewhat answered... i think... i will read more.

I think I might have gone with the dark candi sugar if I wasn't concerned so much with keeping the color in standard dubbel range. Though I could have dropped that bit of chocolate malt... I do wonder how that will taste. Does anyone think the chocolate malt is a bit of overkill?

How much as a rule would you say you should have for sugars in the boil?

I thought the graph was helpful... side note are there better charts out there... I think I like charts can I find any... anybody have any

I'm a real newbie, so forgive me. I'm just trying to get behind the point of all of this. (And I know I am missing something). How is this different than just steeping the grains in your water at 155F before you add extract? I know I had a kit that gave me some Carapils that I just steeped for...

Hey guys, I have been working on this dubbel recipe because i thought it was time to graduate to my own recipes from kits... I guess I just wanted to get some feedback on hat anyone thought. A couple questions I have concern hop additions. A lot of recipes that i've found have no aroma hop...

what are the positives and negatives to leaving a good portion of your extract until the last 15 minutes or so of the boil... Explain.

Hey All, My name is Tim. I am fairly new to brewing, I have my second batch in the fermenter and have yet to taste my first/ After visiting some breweries and a friend who is pretty into the craft I decided that this was a great hobby for me. Still working with ordered kits, but I hope to...

May have posted this in the wrong place before but I have a question. I have a 6 1/2 gallon better bottle and I want to use it for a primary fermenter. Is it a necessity to use a blow off hose? can I use an airlock for a 6 1/2 gallon carboy with a 5 gallon batch? It seems that it leaves as...

This may be a simple question, but regarding starters, does the DME in the starter affect your beer taste at all? Does it leave the taste of a DME that I didn't want or should I really even be worried about this?

I have a 6 1/2 gallon better bottle and I want to use it for a primary fermenter. Is it a necessity to use a blow off hose? can I use an airlock for a 6 1/2 gallon carboy with a 5 gallon batch? It seems that it leaves as much room as a plastic fermenter. What do you think?
