Just curious, why top up with water in secondary? Aren't we just watering down our beer, or is this intended to lighten it?

Sure. The hbc 342, to me, are extremely floral. It is currently in secondary dry hopping. I will bottle in a few days. To me it is really close to bells two hearted ale

I will be bottling in a couple days. It smells extremely floral and delicious. Haven't tasted it yet but it smells like bells two hearted ale. Yum.

I never rack from the bk. I dump the wort through a strainer, when it gets clogged up I dump the hops out and repeat Also it was the first time I used whole cone hops... pretty cool

So far I've got the first batch fermenting. I chose to do the exact same schedule. I will probably rack to secondary some time this week to dry hop. Question is do I dry hop for one or two weeks with the last oz

This^^ for mine I was thinking 1oz at 15 and1 oz at 5 Then dry hopping with the rest

I cant seem to make up my mind... Dont know if thats good or bad lol

I hate to hijack your thread, but how can i find out if i can brew IN my LHBS in West Virginia?

Hello LAKing, I had made a thread as well about the hops in this kit, Like i said in my post above i will do both batches, then update my other thread with tasting notes, hope you tune in and chime in when you're done with your batch Cheers

Update: Just picked up my BB hopnog (which contained said hops) I will do two batches together with different hop schedules, and i will update this thread when its done (cant wait!), that way more people will lean about these mysterious little buggers!

Sounds Great! I think what im going to do is do two kits with different times, that way i can see for myself what the different additions do for the beer! Sounds like fun to me! not sure what my schedule will be but i will definitely keep some back for dry hopping too!

Too bad cuz that description sounded freaking awesome lol

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to read the article online Also does it list it characteristics?

I use a 7.9 gal bucket as my primary, no need to use a blow off tube. I dont need to see whats going on in there so no need for primary-ing in carboy

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has heard of this new hop strain. all i can find by googling it is it has high AA, so im guessing this is a strain for IPA's. Any info on it would be awesome. Thanks

I chuckle every time I see their commercials. I think "triple hops brewed... so what! " its not like majority of their target market will understand what that means anyway lol

Why not just start your beer in a bucket instead of a carboy? That's what I do, and I only need an air lock. Plus you lose a lil beer that way and who wants to do that?

Cool. Keep us updated. Just so u know every batch tasted great. Even if it didn't go as planned. Im sure it will be fine

Sounds really great. Let us know the results

Use it. Its pretty decent yeast. After 3 weeks conditioning I finally tasted my bb witbier. Very good imho. One thing I did a little different was added a little corn sugar when I added my spice pack for a little higher abv. I also crushed my corriander. Everything I ever read about wheat beers...
