I have a question along these lines. I am near bottling time and the dry hop pellet material is floating on top of the beer in the carboy. Does anybody filter beer into the bottling bucket? Or how do you handle this?
I happen to be drinking the Stone IPA at the moment for the first time - well pleased.
This is a very good beer but for my money Bell's Two Hearted Ale is the best IPA on the market. This is a Michigan beer so I'm not sure if it makes it out east.
I've brewed roughly 10 partial grain beers - pre-measured recipies from the LHBS.
I've always used straight tapwater in the fermenter to mix with the cooled wort. In lurking around here some, I haven't read much of anything about water treatment.
Do most people treat the water or just use...
