Backstory. I made a kettle sour for the wife, as she loves sours. She wanted a strawberry/lime sour. I fermented the wort out then racked it on top of purée and potassium sorbate. I didn’t want the remaining yeast to eat the sugars in the purée. I like it to keep as much strawberry flavor as...

This is exactly the setup I have as well. Works great. Been using it for about 4 years.

I'm leaning that way.

I got the whirlpool only addition idea from a local brewery. No hops added until the whirlpool. Maybe instead of 170, do it right at flame out and whirlpool them? It's a 15.5 gallon converted keg. It'll be a 5.5 gallon batch.

I will be adding the 3ozs at about whirlpool 170F. I know the yeast selection is wonky, but I have it on hand and love a good Kolsch yeast.

What do you guys think about this Whirlpool IPA recipe?

Thanks for the responses! I'm thinking I will move the orange peel and coriander from 10 mins left in the boil to 0 mins/flame out and let them steep as I whirlpool. Also, I usually ferment this at 64 and let rise to 68 for a diacetyl rest. I think next time I will pitch at around 65-68 and...

Hello Everyone. I sent off a Belgian Wit to a competition to see how it got judged. Everyone I let taste the beer around me said it was really good (I thought it was too!). The judges thought different. Both judges commented that I needed to use a more characteristic yeast than what I used...

I know I'm reviving an old thread but this exact parts list is what you need. All links are still good!

Does anyone use these? If so, what are your reviews? I've been thinking about trying one out. http://www.hbrewo.com/shop/ **Edit - to add link**

Hello Fellow Brewers! Does anyone use their Apple Watch during brew days? My wife just got me one for my Birthday, and I want to incorporate it into my brew day. I know I could use the timers for the hop schedule, but that's all I can think of to do with it. I'm hoping in the future...

I contacted them and they said to enter as a Specialty IPA and declare it as a IPL. It is a local IPA festival, but they said they will accept an IPL as well. Thanks everyone for their suggestions!

I am thinking the same thing. Just enter it as a normal IPA.

I'm about to enter my IPL into a local IPA competition, but I don't what BJCP style to list it as. Should I put it as a normal IPA (21A), or Specialty IPA (21B)? I'm thinking normal IPA category but just not sure.

Oh, okay! I never knew that. Thanks!:mug:

Is there any online home brew shops that you can enter your EXACT all grain recipe and they ship that to you? I know there used to be one, but they were purchased by NB. My LHBS is a good distance away and I don't make it to town very often. I use MoreBeer 99% of the time and love it, but I...

Not sure what you mean by that =)

DIY filling wand.

I am going to dry hop tonight or tomorrow.
