Hi! When you guys brew NEIPA, do you use pellets or whole cones? If you want, you can specify "why" :)

Thanks for all these replies on my thread! I think I've got a better understanding on how you all think and what to do in different situations!

Hi! I just recently started kegging (yes, it is awesome!). I was wondering how often you guys clean with PBW (or equivalent)? Is it before every new batch of beer you keg or like every 10:th? Will it suffice to rinse it out good and even give it a good scrub with a brush and then use SaniClean...

Thanks for all the answer guys!

Hi! I am going to brew my first NEIPA soon and I have just bought me a keg. General, I have had a lot of oxidation problems when bottling my IPAs so I am hoping the keg will help me in this situation. One question I have is if you guys have seen some problem with oxidation with different dry...

Ah damnit! Here is the recipe: 5400g Pale Ale Malt (90%) 600g Crystal 40L (10%) The amount of Crystal malt is quite high, could that save my beer?

Hi! I have a question regarding mash temperature. Usually I do a single infusion mash at 153F but recently I tried doing a rest at 147F for 60 min and then a rest at 158F for 20 minutes. After I had done this, I was wondering if the low mash temperature rest was too long for the high...

Thank you for your answer! I will definitely try the beer again in the end of this week to give it another shot. Interesting that the body can develop more during conditioning. Yes, the loss of aroma is really the biggest issue I have had earlier and I hope that they are preserved in this brew...

OG was 1.054 which is almost spot on from the recipe, however, I needed to dilute the wort a little to get this gravity. Is that the reason it got watery? It wasn't a lot, maybe, 3-4 liters. EDIT: Note that I diluted it BEFORE any hop addition, and hop additions was re-calculated for the new volume

The beer has now been in bottle carbonation for about 10 days and I tried one yesterday. Overall the hop aroma is there, but not as much "in the face" as I might want it. That is quite easy to fix I guess, just add more late hops (or whirpool) and dryhop. But, another thing I noticed is that the...

Ah, I bought a Brew Cooler Bag, which is an insulated bag in which you put frozen bottles of water. The amount of frozen water determines how many degrees C it will lower the temperature in the bag in relation to the surrounding air. Here is a link (sorry for Swedish)...

Ah I got it now! I am planning on dry hop in bags :)

I did controll it, that is why I think this was one of the most clean tasting ales I have brewed :)

Okay! You learn something new every day. So I actually put the hop bag at the end of the siphon and let the beer run through it? So, should I just remove the hop bag after that or leave it in the fermenter?

Clearly there is something I am missing here :) So you guys recommend to actually tie the hop bag to the siphon? My plan was to dry hop in bags, absolutely. I was planning to put the bags in the bottom of a secondary fermernter (with a lot of weights), and then flush the whole fermenter with...

It tasted a lot better than all the earlier Pale Ales I have brewed. I think controlling the temperature did a world of difference. I hope it really attenuates enough, SG was 1.024 yesterday evening and the activity is almost stopped. I'm thinking to slowly raise the temperature to 70f to let...

This is what I ended up with: The malts: 5700 g Pale Ale Malt (95%) 300 g Caramunich (5%) The hops: 25g (0.7oz) Amarillo (7.1% AA) @10 min -> 7.5 IBU 20g (0.35oz) Simcoe (13.7% AA) @10 min -> 11.5 IBU 15g (0.35oz) Citra (12% AA) @10 min -> 7.6 IBU 25g (0.7oz) Amarillo (7.1% AA) @5...

Here is the templog, it has been kept between 66.2 - 66.9F

Hi guys! Just a little uppdate on the brew. The "test batch" was brewed 3 days ago. I actually got better efficiency than expected. Usually I get around 60% of brewhouse efficiency and now I got 65%. So I ended up with 6.1 gallons of 1.054 wort. Now the yeast has worked for three days and the...

So would you say that whirlpooling hops is better to get hop aroma than dry hopping with the same amount? I will definitely consider WP, but I have no experience in it. So you recommendation is to take all the 5min additions and add them to a whirlpool instead and then adjust the boil additions...
