I dry hop with fresh hops off the vine no bag straight into the primary and secondary. Yeast will sort you out if it doesn't smell offyou are good togo.

Mine will be a month or so, It still taste like it needs another 3 weeks. The Hop flavour is still a giant slap to the face.

I bottled mine on monday. Wasn't a bad effort considering I stuffed my mash up. Was a little sweeter than it is suppose to be but it off sets the hop flavour a really well. it is still really green and I hope the flavours work them out over the next month. I think I am having a vacant...

Final gravity was 1021. It was a bit on the sweet side.

Maybe someday I will have a keg.

Just had to check on the beer because I am going back to work. It is reading 1028. Still has a milky appearance of the yeast still doing its thing. I will post another update when I am back from work.

After reading that thread, I should have paid more attention in my organic chemistry classes. It was interesting to see a bit of the research into it. I will give you my sampling notes to give some input. I personally think that a limited amount of conversion went on. Though not doing the...

Who knows. I mean the thermometer was cheap. Live and learn right. No drama about you all stirring a bit god knows I deserved it. There is also a lot of ldme in it.

I will weigh in. I definitely agree with manticle for the most part. I only rack things that I am going to leave in the frementor long periods of time. The winter lagers that I make spend 4-6 weeks in a secondary. However, all the porters and ales I make, almost never go into a secondary...

YEAH YEAH, I am sure you have butcher a couple badly in your day. Guess this is what happens when you get all excited over your new set up and sampling one to many beverages whilst cooking.

Fair Enough. I will look into that in the next batch. That would explain why some of my stuff is super bitter and other barely have any bit to them.

Not sure on the SG, I only took it once I had completed my boil. It was 1.058 or so. I was aiming for 1.052. The recipe I was using didn't give me any SG in it so, I just kind of made it up as a went. Since I am new to the whole grain thing should I be taking an SG at Mash out as well...

Hey Everyone, I put a mash in for a Partial of 90 Minute DogFISH Head IPA. I screwed up my mash, and ran on a temperature of 76 c the hole time. I was aiming for 65 C. Do you think that my mash came out okay? From the looks of it, it might turn out a bit cloudy. Any Suggestion or info...

Hello All, I was wondering if there was a Case Swap in WA at all? If not, would the brewers in the Southwest region be interested in doing a Case Swap say at the very end of July, in the Bunbury Area? All levels of brewers will be would be welcome. If you are interested in something like...
