Troll thread

Check out this months BYO Magazine. They have an article bout dry hopping just after fermentation slows down which is how I did it for years

I dry hop while cold crashing all the time [emoji106]

Did a pear cider this morning in 30 minutes. Aerated, added a little dextrine and added yeast, in the chamber... Done. Wish my all grain went this fast lol Now... Cup of joe

Use the Columbus or Warrior to bitter. Or just use the warrior to bitter. Then add only one hop (if you have enough) at flameout and a dry hop (same hop) You have a few beers to make that way and each will be different

Sure it is...

I whirlpool with a paint stirrer on a Dewalt. Cools down fast, saves my arm and when I start getting around 100 I ramp up the speed and it starts aerating the wort. Has been working for years.

I wouldn't bother but that's just me. I forget sometimes to add fining and it makes me mad until I taste the first pint! Lol

You do realize this thread is 7 years old right? Lol

I put in softener recently and since the house was older, didn't know whether one of my outside spigots was softened or not (since the house apparently had a softener at one time) so I brewed an ipa and it was horrible. Sent out for a test and...... it was going through the softener. Doh...

I use an old sleeping bag and a wilserbrewer bag! If its in the winter and very cold, i fire the kettle while stirring. Works every time but i have also used the steamer trick as well.

Your crystal/dextrin amount is super high. Why so much?

Just did a Mosaic pale ale small batch and wow! Need to scale it up for sure!

I might do 90/45/15/0 I believe Jamil's recipe was like 85/45/15/0 it seems to me that you have a lot of chinook overall but that's just me. It is definitely a great idea though. Good luck! Keep us posted.

There really is no right or wrong IMO with a SMASH unless you do something dumb like 10lbs of specialty grain with a bittering hop lol But, the only thing I would change is the size. I take it you're doing it to test the grain and hops. I have done a lot of SMASH recipes in the 1.5 gallon size...

Yep, cooler. I learned that the hard way when my thermometer was reading too low and I got a batch of unfermentable beer.

Like mentioned above, your beer is too cold 20C is more like where it should be. I will even go 22C and its fine

You need to stop drinking so much coffee RDWHAHB

Sounds like you are making stuff up as you type!

The hops are great but no dank! Chinook to bitter and any combo after that. I would go Amarillo and cascade at FO and Amarillo Cascade and Citra dry hop
