I'm new to brewing and this will be my third batch! My LHBS only has the citra hops in whole form, no pellets. In addition it does not have galaxy so I am using more citra instead. Is this okay to do? It won't make the beer bad will it?
I would just double up on the citra replacing galaxy with citra. It will turn out amazing either way! Like others have posted, it will come out more like zombie dust, not exactly like zombie dust because zombie dust is all citra hops and this one will have cascade with citra.
Good luck and enjoy
I Just finished brewing the blood moon IPA recipe got it all cooled and into the carboy now and decided to take an OG reading, the reading I'm getting with my hydrometer is around 1.088! The original recipe on here gives a OG of 1.061 how on earth did I mess the up?
I did a partial boil, adding 2 gallons of water after the boil. I must have not mixed it well enough if no one else who has brewed this has had a problem.
No all grain version yet? Any suggestions?
6lbs LME - Light
2lbs DME - Light (Late addition, last 15 minutes of boil)
1lb Belgian - Caramel Pils (Steep for 30 minutes at 155)
I'm making this recipe today! However, my store only sells hops in 2-ounce bags - as such I have an extra once of Cascade. Do I throw caution to the wind, and start with two ounces of bittering hops for the full boil or will that trash the project?
I scaled this down to a 1 gallon batch to try it out. I accidentally substituted crystal 40L in place of the caramel pils. The end result was fantastic. I am going to brew a 5 gallon batch this weekend but am not sure if I should stick with the crystal or switch to caramel pils, or maybe a combination of both. I am a novice and dont know what the different between the two grains is. If I switch to caramel pils what will be the effect?
