    Help with Hop selection

    Do I need to add something at 60 mins as well? Just a small amount, say 1g of Citra?

    Help with Hop selection

    So up those 2 in the dry hop and drop the others, leave the 15 and 5 mins as they are? I was thinking that falconers flight would be a good dry hop since it is a blend, was just adding the other hops to bring the volume up since I only have 100g of it, thought the hops might compliment the...

    Help with Hop selection

    Folks, I'm aiming for Punk IPA - or at least as near to Punk IPA as I can get with the hops I have! I suppose what I want is a Punk IPA style of beer, so really fresh and hoppy with hopefully some of the flavours of Punk..... I have a fair selection of hops as shown below below but might...

    Real lager

    I had to pour away a whole batch of that - tasted horrible! Did a Mexican Cerveza kit at the same time (subbing the yeast for Lager yeast) that was fine so was nowt to do with the temp in the brew fridge.

    Priming sugar after cold crashing

    Yeah that's what confused me,bf seemed to be indicating that I use the cold crash temp. I also had a couple of beers that were over carbonated and was leading me to think that I should use the cold crash temp to reduce the amount off priming sugar but I now think the problem was that I was...

    Priming sugar after cold crashing

    I need some help! I brew around 20 degrees, I cold crash to 3 degrees for 2 days, what temp do I put in the online priming sugar calculators? I think it should be the temperature the beer was brewed at but the instructions say its the coldest temp the beer has been at. My thinking for...

    Galaxy single hop AIPA - Quick recipe check please

    Well this was brewed and has been maturing for a few weeks now - The bitterness is I fell a little harsh for want of a better word.... Flavour wise it's nice, not overpowering but nice and fruity. On the nose it's fruity but there is another undercurrent of something! Not sure what, nothing bad...

    STC 1000 copies?

    I made one myself - but I would not hesitate to buy the Inkbird one if i was doing it again. By the time you buy mains sockets, a plug, wire, a box etc I would think the inkbird comes in at or lower than the cost of doing it yourself. Of course you may be into Electronics and have some stuff...

    Dry hopping with Neslon Sauvin

    Actually maybe the other way round 20g Nelson and 10g Galaxy?

    Dry hopping with Neslon Sauvin

    I am waiting on Galaxy arriving and was debating maybe 10g of Nelson and 20g of Galaxy? I know its supposed to be a single hop brew but flavour is more important than sticking to just the single hop!

    Dry hopping with Neslon Sauvin

    Hi, I recently brewed a single hop Neslon Sauvin IPA - It's in the primary now and I'm wondering how much dry hops to add (I'm using Pellet NS). It's gonna come out around 5.7%/40 IBU, I have read a lot about NS, that it's easy to overdo it etc etc. I was wondering if say 10g would be enough...

    Why no massive hop flavour? Out of date hops maybe?

    I gave up cold crashing as I could never get the carbonation right - it was usually over carbed or way undercarbed, tried the calculators but just not sure i can trust them when its been cold crashed

    Why no massive hop flavour? Out of date hops maybe?

    The yeast was good old US05 - I have a single hop Nelson Sauvin on the go at the moment. The recipe does not have any dry hops in it but I was thinking of adding about 70grams of Dry Hop pellet? Only issue I can forsee, will I get the beer clear after 70g of pellets added as dry hop?

    Why no massive hop flavour? Out of date hops maybe?

    I usually switch off the boiler, chill to 80 degress then add the flame out hops and leave for 30 mins - going to use pellets from now on as well, now that I have found them at a decent price.

    60 min vs 90 min boils

    You will get bitterness from adding hops at any temp above about 80degrees. I have often wondered about the 60 min boil, why not just add hops to bitter and flavour when making an IPA and boil for 15 mins to sterilise
