Made a nice IPA, a few days left before racking off to secondary. Will be dry hopping with 1 oz of Mouteka (pellets) and 1 oz of Ahtunum (whole). Would it be wise to add the pellet hops first and wait a few days, or just add both together ?

What is the ratio for substitution rate ? If I usually add 1/2 lb cara-pils to a 5 gal batch (all grain or extract) for extra-body, how much malto-dextrin powder would be an equivalent ?

saw the same thing......may look to substitute.

I thought Pacifica hops were in the 5-7% range. Picked up 2- 1oz packages for a batch and they are listed at 13% alpha. Is it possible there was a mis-labeling

waited for a month, no sign of carbonation, while I'm not saying my idea is the best idea (by far) rather than tossing the batch, it was worth the risk

Had this happen awhile back.......after 2 more weeks of waiting and no carbonation here is what I did. (5 gal. batch) dissolve 1/3 cup corn sugar in pint of water - bring to boil, let cool to room temp clean and sanitize a bottling bucket open all bottles and pour into bottling bucket...

So....I get my grains and hops for a luscious IPA and..............the supply house is out of WLP001 AND Wyeast 1056, and I did not want to use SafAle S-05. The kind young lad behind the counter recommends Giga yeast GY001 NorCal Ale as an alternative. I accept his proposal. Any of you fine...

Hi All, Been sick as a dog with the stomach bug the past few days - feeling better now. One of the few few things I was able to eat was graham crackers.....It never dawned on me, but I really enjoyed the sweet, nutty flavor, so much so that it dawned on me.....couldn't I use these for brewing...

just to do it. The wonderful thing about home-brewing is all the different variables at your disposal to use in pursuit of the perfect pint.

the all grain variant is 5lb German Munich, 4 lbs German Pilsner, 2 lbs Vienna, 1/2 lb cara pils - og - 1.078, fg 1.020, ABV = 7.5% I do realize the Vienna must be mashed, was just putting together ideas for a high gravity, malty, luscious, Maibock and would welcome ideas. What pitch rate...

Hi All, Making a Maibock: 2 - 3.3 lb cans amber LME 1 - 3.3lb can light LME 1lb light DME 2lbs Vienna malt + 1lb cara-pils - steeped Schedule of Tettnanger for bittering (30 IBU) OG 1.077 - FG 1.019 ABV = 7.5% (according to calculator at TastyBrew.com) Looking for a yeast that...

Long time brewer, first time poster. Was interested in brewing an all grain ale via infusion mash and instead of mashing my specialty grains with the grist, was wondering if steeping them in my sparge water at 150 degrees, then raising the temp to 170 prior to sparging would work, or if it would...
