    Dry hopping techniques

    Hi! I am going to brew my first NEIPA soon and I have just bought me a keg. General, I have had a lot of oxidation problems when bottling my IPAs so I am hoping the keg will help me in this situation. One question I have is if you guys have seen some problem with oxidation with different dry...

    Copper equipment & Hop oxidation

    I wasn't able to find any explanation in searches so I'm posting a topic. In some discussions related to NEIPA and related intricacies of heavily hopped beer I've seen comments about copper immersion chillers and "wanting to go SS" which leads me to this question: Is it known whether copper...

    Ascorbic Acid Super Oxidizer?

    I've read on a previous thread here that supposedly ascorbic acid by itself can become a super oxidizer instead of an antioxidant. But I've used it by itself and never noticed an issue. And noticed many food items using it as a preservative by itself with no MS. And I know metabisulfate is good...

    Oxidation after first pour from tap

    Hey fellow homebrewers, Can you help me solve this oxidation issue I've had for the past year? Issue: My beer in the keg oxidizes after the first pint is poured. The first pint is perfect and has no hint of oxidation. About two days later, heavy oxidation has set in and the beer quickly...

    Oxidation: racking warm vs cold

    Hi brewers! This year marked my 10th year of homebrewing and this forum was instrumental in those first years! Couldn't find an answer via the googles, and I'm a better biology student than a chemistry student: is beer more prone to oxidation if racked warm or cold? Example: would it be...

    Mysterious color change in bottled beer

    Hey everyone! I've been brewing beer for some time now and have come across a very strange issue. At first I thought it was an oxidation problem, but after being incredibly careful with my racking and bottling, I am starting to think it may be something else. Now, I am not saying my bottling is...

    Can Water Chemistry cause stale beer

    I have been noticing that with lighter colored beers like IPAs, Pilsners, Pale Ales, etc. tend to finish with a stale/oxidized flavor. When I brew stouts and porters I don't get that taste at all. It comes through with a smooth and malty flavor without any oxidation. My process is the same...

    Splashed the Mash and Pitched on Warm Wort

    So here is my "did I (verb) my beer" thread. Some friends and I were playing pretty continuous beer pong while I was in the process of brewing my first all-grain. :tank: To paraphrase certain government officials... "Mistakes were made." I forgot to stick the manifold into the mash/lauter...

    Staggard nutrient addtions and oxidation question

    I'm fairly new to brewing beer and now trying my hand at meads now. I've been doing a lot of reading here and elsewhere before I make my first batch. I want to try staggard yeast nutrient additions. When you add your staged nutrients with the last addition near the midway point in the...
