I will go ahead and rack it to my keg tomorrow since it will be the 7th day of my dry hop addition. FYI, this is the thread I got the info from regarding the maximum of 3 days for dry hopping. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/dry-hop-ipa-64751/index2.html (Post #18) Thanks for the...

Hello all, Just a bit of background info, I brewed an extract Gumball Head clone on 4/10 and it had an OG of 1.063 and on Tuesday 4/20 I nailed my target 1.012 FG. I read here that it was fine to dry hop in the primary instead of the secondary since the beer clears much better if left alone...

I actually find that a very small amount of scotch (Johnnie Walker Black Label) takes care of that pretty well. Its like hitting the reset button

I have to agree with the OP, I have the same exact situation. My 2 kids get sick then the swmbo follows soon after, but somehow it always skips me. This is an excellent thread, I have been wondering if its been my beer all along. I'm gonna add this to my next batch of bottle...

I should have thought of that....I gave it up completely for lent. Maybe because I was in the 3-5 per weeknight range. It was exponentially more than that during college football season, I drowned my sorrows after my Longhorns lost in the BCS game :mad: Oh well, there is always next season and...

The recipe calls for an Irish Ale yeast, what is the best way to prepare a big starter for something this high in OG? I am looking into a brewing software right now, any suggestions other than Beersmith? Also, since I do not currently have software, are there manual calculations I can make...

Hey guys, had a couple of questions regarding this stout recipe....Imperial Bastard Stout. This will only be my second attempt at brewing (the first was a canned Cooper's IPA, hey, it was free when I bought my equipment) I really would like to try it out, but would like to do a full boil...

Thanks for the response, i will test again on Thursday and compare.

Hey guys, been trying to read and absorb as much as I can for weeks now and seems as if I have barely scratched the surface of this obsession. I brewed my first kit last Tuesday and its been fermenting in the primary since. Here is what I did, brought 5.5gal to a boil, added water salts...
