Yeah, 3/16 inch albino hops! Wife/son going to Ca. Grandkids will be with their mom, so taking chance to finish our tile work. Hallway goes into our master bedroom/bath. Bachelor with dogs, remodel, beer, what could go wrong??

Determined your math is almost correct. Precisely 1..😀

Hard Lemonaids is like the only great thing I make.

Measuring and cutting the tiles around all corners/doors prior to morter. Will do that after work Wednesday...that's the plan anyway.

Finish your trip? Looked nice!

[fuzzy2133]

applescrap you asked so I googled precutting p), when were you born guessing not in the 80's if Poison caused you an IQ drop.

I've had a couple different years and I think parabola is one of the best RIS. Funny yours went from CA to philly back to Texas. Well traveled beer.

HB Hanahapu clone. This took my HB to a new level. Needs more spice next time, but super hardy. Morphing nicely (5weeks old).

Got a DIPA fermenting now. Hopefully, it does the same. Unclear to me why ipas are so hit/miss.

My stouts were always good and my IPAs were hit or miss (more misses) until I started paying attention to water chemistry. Not sure if that's your issue, but made a big difference for me. Turns out my water had a lot of alkalinity that worked well with dark malts but ruined most lighter beers.

I always start with RO and remineralize using Brew'n Water. PH is calculated around 5.5-5.6. For the most part, primary is always nice, but after kegged for a week or so I get onion/sulfur. But I've had diacetyl...which was me being impatient. Others, craft buds have said there's nothing wrong when I'm tasting something. So who knows!

1st dipa with wort chiller now fermenting. Will co2 buckets prior to dry hops. Completely different type of dipa recipe also.

2nd Hunahapu...why not!

Do you mind posting a known good ipa/dipa grain bill and water chemistry? I simply add gypsum, calcium-choride and maybe 2ml of lactic acid for most IPA/dipas.

BTW..about that Parabola...FU! 😀 (hope you take that as me being completely jealous!)

We're our own harshest critics.

That's pretty much what I've been doing for RO water for my PAs/IPAs lately. I'm not home this weekend so I don't have access to my brew log, but my last PA was the Tired Hands Hophands clone (from HBT) with about the same additions you mentioned. Turned out awesome.

Also, I did that hunahpu clone and it was easily the best beer I ever made. Only have a couple bottles left. Will be sorry to see that end. Need to rebrew

Same here! Got a Chocolate stout to brew for yeast cake on my next attempt. Came out a bit dryer then intended. Thinking of adding lactose instead of mashing higher temp. Spices need more time also. How long did you have spices in?
