    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Oops!! Yes, per 5 gallon. Got that from somewhere else and copied it over wrong. Just double checked. Thanks for saving me there!

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Looking for some advice before I brew. This will be my first NE IPA. How does my recipe look (5 gallon)? Too much on the hops? I came up with this recipe after reading a bunch and putting things together from what different people have done. I see a lot of Citra/Mosaic/Galaxy combo which sounds...

    Apple pie ale

    You said you used the recipe above did not post what base grains you used and how much? Crystal 60? Is the 2 lbs of White wheat dry?

    Apple pie ale

    Apple Cinnamon Ale?

    My friend told me that since fall and apple season was coming up that I should brew a beer centered around apple and cinnamon. I was thinking maybe a brown ale? Has anyone ever brewed or seen something like this? Good or not? And do you possibly have a recipe? Sorry a lot of questions all...

    brewpub business plan

    Great job!! I'm actually about to begin writing a business plan for a brewpub for a competition.....and if all works out possibly someday for real. This is a great template though to base mine off of. Can easily see why you got an A

    Carbonation problem!

    Always seems to be a problem when I make my posts haha. So I had a batch of Chinook IPA and racked it into my bottling bucket with the priming sugar like I normally do, when I began bottling though I realized I didn't have enough bottle caps for all the bottles (stupid mistake I know) so I...

    Temperature question

    I thought it would be fine since the fermentation was done, just wanted to check. It was at like low 60's so I wasn't sure if such a jump would do anything

    Temperature question

    Hey, so I have a beer in the primary (don't use a secondary) and fermentation has been stopped for probably almost two weeks now. I was letting it go one more week until I bottled when I just discovered that someone played with my thermostat and turned it up to 80!!! The temperature of my beer...

    Tart taste after awhile....why

    So I brewed a pale ale a little over a month ago and when it was ready we drank some bottles over the first week and it tasted pretty much fine and now it is starting to develop this kind of tart aftertaste. Does anyone know why this is happening all of the sudden and how I can avoid this next...

    Chinook IPA - Calling all HOPS experts!

    That's kind of what I figured but decided I should check in just in case. I'm still a noob, this will be my third batch and very excited about this one

    Chinook IPA - Calling all HOPS experts!

    I know that. I was thinking maybe if I added only the Cascades at flameout instead of both, I could use that extra .5oz to add more bittering. I'll probably just keep it how it is. Thanks, I didn't know that about the gravity. Beer Alchemy says the OG is supposed to be 1.055. The IBU's...

    Chinook IPA - Calling all HOPS experts!

    Only the Casecade are whole leaf and fresh. I dried them about 2 weeks ago and they are currently in my freezer. The Chinook are in pellet form from Northern Brewer

    Chinook IPA - Calling all HOPS experts!

    I love hops too! I didn't know what it would be like to dryhop with both of them. It's also only 41 IBU's. I kind of wanted to get it up a little more but didn't know if I should or not

    Chinook IPA - Calling all HOPS experts!

    Hey guys I'm ready for my next batch which is going to be a Chinook IPA. I was just going to brew the recipe they gave me but a guy at work grows his own hops and isn't brewing anymore so he gave me basically a shopping bag full of Cascades. Since I need to use them in something I was planning...

    Mr Beer - Read all about it and ask questions

    Thanks, I don't have beersmith because I have a mac, I have beeralchemy though but I have no idea how to do what you just explained haha. I mean I am new, I'm still only a couple batches deep with my 5 gallon set up (If you couldn't tell). Yea, I just used the Mr. Beer yeast because I didn't...

    Mr Beer - Read all about it and ask questions

    I have a hydrometer......problem is I was lazy and didn't take an initial reading seeing as it was a Mr. Beer kit. I have a big boy kit too haha. I basically just brewed it bc I wanted to get rid of my Mr. Beer ingredients. Tough to see but I don't think I have any sediment. The only reason...

    Mr Beer - Read all about it and ask questions

    I have another packet of yeast (I had two kits). Should I "repitch" the yeast with the second packet or should I just toss this batch out?

    Mr Beer - Read all about it and ask questions

    It's looked like this since I "brewed" it (and use that term lightly). I suspected the yeast were dead and called Mr. Beer to see if they had any advice or could send me a new kit or new yeast or something and they assured me there was no way the yeast could be dead. Pretty sure they're dead
