So it is entirely possible that conditioning in the bottle would bring out tropical fruit flavor?

Yeah I meant tropical fruit... No idea why I wrote Citrus lol!

Hey guys, So I brewed my first BIAB DIPA 3g 2 weeks ago and it was bottling day yesterday. OG was 1.071 and FG 1.013 (brewfather predicted 1.012), 7.6% ABV, 63 IBU. The sample I tasted was... Bland.. It was bitter like a 63 IBU but there was no tropical fruit flavor at all like I wanted, even...

Sorry I used the wrong word. I should have said "preferred". Like I said, it's better to re-hydrate and make sure your yeasts are not all dead then ruining a batch. Pitching dry yeast right into the wort can work as well. But you have a chance to have old packages with too many dead cells...

No need to apologise my friend. Cheers!

Language barrier. I used the wrong word. If you read what I said, I tell why re-hydrating is better. Didn't think I would offend someone...

This is not true... Re-hydrating yeast is mandatory. You will have a better idea if your yeast are alive or if it's mostly dead. Don't make the mistake of ruining a batch because of bad fermentation.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will surely do that! I am one of those extremely anxious guys, and I am scared I messed it all up lol! I can't wait to try it though, because i'm really hooked to the whole process!

second question: I haven't seen any air bubbling in my airlock. I tried pressing on the lid and I can feel some air expelling from the airlock. Everything is tightened correctly... I opened the lid two days ago and it had a white-browning foam. This morning, I opened it, and it was brown...

Hey guys. Brewed my first batch Sunday and after I cooled down my wort, I took a sample in my hydrometer tube. However, when I went back to get my hydrometer, it was broken :( That means I couldn't measure the OG. Now, I know that I can't rely on final gravity to know when fermentation...

Ok that's what I thought... I was a bit worried! ;)

As someone who will do his first batch next week: why the hell is there such a big blow-off?

Couldn't find this anywhere that can ship to Canada.. Can I substitute with another extract? Thanks

Hello guys, I have a recipe that calls for 1.8kg of Mountmellick light malt syrup.. I couldn't find this anywhere.. Is it a liquid malt extract, or is a malt "syrup" something different? It is from the CloneBrews book. Thanks and sorry for my "noobness" ;)

Pretty much looking for recipes because I can't buy any kits from the USA lol

There does not seem to be a lot of extract recipes over the net.. Do you guys know where I can find them? Thanks!

So, any canadians will order soon?

Ok, I just ordered a kit I built myself. Overall, I think I am pretty much covered for 5g malt extract. Here is a summary of my purchase: 1x 5g stainless steel brew kettle 1x 6.5 gallon bucket drilled + spigot for bottling 1x 6.5 gallon fermenting bucket + lid + bung hole + rubber stopper +...
