My homebrew. It was a failed attempt at a Barley wine (first big beer on my herms set up.) When I came in low on my gravity, I just threw in a bunch of home grown Columbus hops(somewhat strategically aiming to hit a respectful IBU). It's not the worst beer I've ever brewed but I'd never try to brew it again. I don't like Columbus for aroma additions. Took a year to lose the onion smell...

Isn't that the opposite of what you want to do? With lower gravity, take away hops to match og/ibu level.

NB Off the Topper, turned out really good and cleared nicely in the bottle. Sorry, no picture... maybe if I open another one...

Gravity sample of my recent dipa wlp515 took it down from 1.082-1.012 View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1461207395.305048.jpg

When I missed my numbers I said "screw it," and decided to just use home grown hops and go a different route completely.

It was literally the worst brew day of my life and I wasn't going to waste the hops I bought specifically for my American Barley Wine on what I considered to already be a failed beer.

Your thought process is correct though. If I wanted to maintain the ratio, I would have had to drop the amount of hops to also reduce the IBUs.

Yeah, I'm at a place where I can't justify 5 hours brewing and walking away empty handed. I went from using a braided hose as my manifold to cpvc. Stuck sparge every 2 minutes. Now I use rice hulls in every batch...

First time I've ever had one of these and now I realize what all the fuss is about – – – it was awesome!

Yep! You don't get to be the worlds oldest longest running brewery making crap beer! Enjoyed the hell out of those when I was stationed in Germany so many moons ago...I THINK I can get that locally, will have to check..Love it!

 

[Pantherjon]

After a semi crappy day, I need some Liquid Bliss! And this delivers!
I just know tomorrow is going to be a ball buster, so glad I still have one more bottle in the fridge!..LOL

Just like my last brew day. Started after work at 8pm on a Saturday, it ended with spilled wort all over the kitchen, puddles of Star San and a Black IPA that turned into a poocho trainwreck brown.

Had to leave and buy ice, more extract and a new auto siphon (old one broke). After three trips out of the apartment ended at 230am, while breaking my only hydrometer before a OG reading.

Now have a IPA/ESB lovechild. Not shabby and hella drinkable.. I tell nobody what a trainwreck it was.
