I'm curious if any one here has experience with dry hopping a beer 4-6 weeks after fermentation is complete. I usually brew 10 gallons but my upcoming schedule has me not drinking beer for a couple of weeks. My plan was to ferment in 2 5-gallon carboys, dry hop a small amount during fermentation...

I gave up on the stock false bottom, and bought a custom false bottom from NORCAL brewing solutions. It has been working great, and worth every penny.

I can see where the OP is coming from. The thing that bothers me is as the craft brewing market becomes more saturated, there is more of a push for marketing before a product is even on the market. This marketing is most effective on the internet, and the younger kids have the time/knowledge...

Ha, yeah wort turned out great, hit my pre & post boil numbers and its still chugging along. I just scooped it all in to a big grain bag I have, cleaned out the false bottom and MT, put the bag of grain on the false bottom and sparged as usual.

I have the 16 gallon set, and I've had problems with my false bottom letting grain through since 2nd or 3rd brew. This weekend's brew (probably #6 or #7) had a 27lb grain bill. One of the legs of the false bottom buckled and let a lot of grain through. First time I had to shovel out all my grain...

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm looking for something smooth, with a creamy mouthfeel and a little toasty (not so roasty). A little dark chocolate bitterness, but I'm gonna make some extract of cocoa nibs and extract of cinnamon to add to 1/2 of the base at kegging time, and maybe some...

HI, I'm not a big porter drinker, and only brew them 1-2x a year when the weather gets cold and my wife starts asking for them. I'm trying to put together a nice base porter which I'll add some winter type spices (vanilla cinnamon & chocolate). Please let me know if I'm in the right...

I just did a Pale Ale with my backyard Cascades and Nuggets. Here are the details. It was a 10 gal batch I bittered with Chinook and Centennial pellets and did a 1 hour "hopstand" @ 170F after flame out with 6 oz wet Cascade and 3 oz wet Nugget. The hops were pretty dry, so I was thinking more...

Some people will crash cool to drop yeast out before they dry hop in secondary. Some yeasts will drop out quicker than others. I think WLP001/1056/US05 starts dropping out around 50F.

I had a similar problem as the OP, so on my brew day I vacuum sealed and froze the portion of hops for my wet hopping. When fermentation was complete and it was time to transfer, I purged a corny keg with CO2, dropped in the frozen hops, purged again and transferred my beer on top of the hops...

If you guys like sports, a lot of the ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries have just shown up on Netflix. The ones I've seen have all been quality.

Ive been using this one for a few months, and it works great. for $40, its not as pro as some other models, but the grind is nice. I brew with a Chemex at work, and my office mates show up at my door with their cups once I start brewing since the aroma really fills our space.

My recent take

My bines go vertical to an 8'ft roof, but then come off 90deg to horizontal trellis at the top of that roof. After 2 years of growing experience, its clear to me that training them horizontally slows the growth. The side shoots in the vertical area have very vigorous growth, whereas the side...

HI, I'm more of a lurker than poster, but I'd figure I'd share my fun brew day. This is my second year growing hops in San Diego, and I have 2 plants, a cascade and nugget. Here's the cascade, its trained to hop twine up the side of the garage, and then across to the fence. This year I...
