    1st time homebrewing

    There are several ways to get the sample out. I will assume that you have a bucket fermenter with a ball valve on the bottom. Place the bucket up on a counter or bench to give some room to use the graduated cylinder that came with the hydrometer. You may want to place something i.e. small piece...

    1st IPA recipe

    I would go with the hops and additions if you remove the wheat and crystal malts. Using a pilsner or Marris Otter malt for the base would work well as well both are light but do have a bit of caramel flavor too... I usually add flaked oats for head retention and mouth feel but no more than .75lb.

    Tomorrow is my first ALL-GRAIN Brew Day!

    MR. Malty will definitely help with yeast. A starter is great way to save money on yeast you need approximately 4 billion yeast cells for a 5 gal batch and that is dependent on gravity. Higher gravity higher amount of yeast cells. All that said most liquid yeast are good just may need 2 packs...

    IPA - Recipe Advice Needed!

    Your recipe looks pretty good. I have not had that beer but I would look at the using a more base malt closer to the Harrington malt used in the original. It only adds 1.7L the amber will add more I also would change the Last two hop additions do the cascade at 15 minutes and the mosaic 5...

    New way to control Pellet Hop gunk!

    I have used my hop filter three times so far. Made an IPA, kind of a hop bomb, not only did we use it in the boil which worked great it let a little hop particles through, we also used it as a dry hop vessel. It fit feally well in my 14.7 gal. Conical from Stoudt. The third time yeasterday...

    New way to control Pellet Hop gunk!

    Welcome Chad, It is good to see ya here. I have used my screen and love it. It left little to no hop junk in the kettle. Chad how about one like a funnel for the fermenter, that would be great. Thanks, Paul

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Dark Chocolate Stout

    No your not doing anything wrong add some more base malt and using the percentages from Promash you can get the correct amount of specialty malts. This is a great recipe and very well balanced. Happy Brewing

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Dark Chocolate Stout

    I used cocoa in the mash and nibs in the fermenter for 3.5 weeks I would definitely use the nibs any way you can think of mash, flameout, or fermenter after primary is complete. I split my batch and soaked oak chips in Maker's Mark and it is pretty good.

    3-week old crushed grains!! Are they good?

    Yep taste is the best policy. I like to vac seal and freeze mine and have had them last along time. I do date the bags before freezing and before use taste them ( a day before and to allow to rest at Room temp)

    Frangelico vs. Hazelnut Extract

    I would use hazelnut extract if you can ( used it in a nut brown and worked great) IF using frangelico don't do it until bottling or kegging and should be boiled to get the Alcohol out becuase it can harm yeast. Either will work. cheers Add 1 bottle per 5 gallons of beer. the extra sugar...
