    Adding sugar post boil to double ipa

    i like the taste of super dry IPAs so i would add it personally. boil it in a bit of water, cool then dump it on top.

    hop combos for next ipa

    not a terrible schedule, but need a bit more info. what is the malt bill like? OG/ anticipated ABV? all of those are delicious hops, but i would put them all closer to the end of the boil, and use a different hop for bittering. you might also try using a hop stand technique. adding FO addition...

    Homebrewing myths that need to die

    gotta be honest, a lot of comments on homebrewing "myths" are so much more common that debunking the myths become the myths. i have read tons of times that HSA and autolysis are myths, but I don't believe they are complete myths. i'm sure they can cause problems in certain situations. constant...

    How many did it take

    1st was an off the shelf canned hopped extract kit. number 2-6 or 7 were AHS recipes and all turned out good. 2 was decent not really my thing (american wheat), but won my faith in homebrew. 3 (double chocolate stout) was great, and then california common, IPA, blonde ale were all good. I took...

    My interviewer was a homebrewer

    back to the OT: I am applying to med school in the next two years, and I have been working on getting more official things to reference about homebrewing. Joined the local club, entered competitions (really hoping to get a ribbon, would make it seem more like something competitive than just...

    Simple Rules for Drinking My Homebrew

    only one that irks me is rinse it out or throw it out. i've got tons of bottles, and probably drink more commercial than my output, so not too worried about saving bottles, but if it goes inside the box of empties it better be clean. if its not rinsed throw it away. i've told my friends to not...

    Thoughts on weekday vs. weekend drinking?

    never been in the habit of drinking during the week. i am a college student so dinner is usually on campus. if i cooked i might do it more, but i'm usually very busy, and one beer always kinda makes me not sleep as well for some reason. my intake has actually dropped significantly, and it...

    14 days and Notty is refusing to clear

    nah thats really normal IME. a lot of people will probably chime in that 14 days isn't long enough, but it usually is for me. especially for a hydrometer sample. how much grain did you mash in your PM, and did you do BIAB? sometimes a lot of flour grain stuff gets in during BIAB, but it should...

    Reese's beer fail - lesson learned.

    yeah this isn't too bad of an idea tbh. terrapin makes a beer called liquid bliss which is brewed with peanuts or pb (can't remember which), and it tastes just like a reese's to me. they use a porter as the base beer, which i think would hold up a lot better than a pale ale. do you have more...

    American lager with ipa type ibus

    http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10099/60078 DFH my antonia is sorta along the same lines, hoppy imperial pilsner is what they call it i think. its decent, but i wouldn't spend the effort to brew it i don't think. doubling the boilign hops and a massive dry hop in the keg after lagering...

    The HOBBIT......don't bother

    i haven't read the whole LOTR series, but did read all of the Hobbit about 10 years ago. From what i have heard is there is actually more story in the hobbit htan the whole lotr series. Its a pretty fast paced book, and i have heard LOTR drags on with setting some scenes, and has a lot of fluff...

    High ABV recipe for Jungle Juice mix? Frat problems!

    that picture is exactly what i was picturing this whole thread, except a little bit more jersey mixed in. and i love how every frat bro makes the argument "we aren't like other frats, we are the cool frat. we don't do that other ****". and i don't feel bad not helping you. nothing you have...

    Shops and bottles to look for in Chicago.

    funny i was googling what beers to get from chicago because my brother is coming back in town and i wanted him to bring home some zombie dust for me to try. Is that beer hard to find on the shelves? open for other suggestions as well. We get goose island in VA, including BCBS (wasn't a fan...

    VA beer Blitz

    Just got my score sheets. porter 25, amber ale 30, cider 29. some helpful comments, some unhelpful comments and scores. got 2/5 for mouthfeel from one judge on my robust porter. comments were "med. body, med. carbonation". style guidelines: "Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full body. Moderately...

    What percentage of your beer is homebrew?

    probably bout 75%homebrew 25% commercial. none of that due to supply of homebrew. i like trying new beers, and rare beers. I get sick of drinking my homebrew. I don't drink all that much, and homebrew can last a while with how frequently i brew. I don't want to have the same porter 25 times in...

    What would you make given these room temperatures?

    the problem with both spots is consistency. the laundry room is going to have a huge fluctuation in temperature based on what you have said. if i were you i would brew a california common in the fireplace. the temperature range could work pretty well. i wouldn't bother with a true lager in...
