Mainly hops

Just chasing up a new set of scales. My ones at home have been playing up and the reason for a few bitter brews. Any recommendations?

Hi Phil. As far as i know that should be fine. I have heard people using al foil on top of the water for heat retention. But thats as far as i know sorry. I have been doing extract for the last 1.5yrs regularly. I was originally looking at getting something to do a double extract brew. For the...

Very nice. Im about to do the same except i will be an urn BIAB. All the best with it. Cheers

Although i have not done a recipe for this exact beer i have done one for the Green Flash IPA. (Link will be at the end.) I had a can of the Torpedo the other day and ill say it's pretty darn close and a great brew showcasing East Coast hops. Definitely recommend doing it any way...

Ok. Anything of note or maybe some informatiom regarding sour blend?

Hi all, Just looking for some help regarding making a sour on extract. Simple as that. CHEERS for any help and direction.

Thanks Coodgee, I think im in your boat of an overhopper. I recently did a west coast IPA green flash extarct clone. I thought even the dry hops in that could be raised. I do use different hops regularly so i may sub for ones i may have. Ill keep you posted.

Thanks to all. I will be doing this brew soon. Once a fermentor is free. Ill have a try at 3g/lt for cascade. Bitter up with something else. Flavor with mosaic and cascade at 5min and glame out

ok ta. May i ask what you or anyone else would consider a big dry hop would be? Like 50g?100g? Cheers

Ok will do and refresh that list. I forgot about wheat. I may sub 500g of LDM for it.

Looking at putting the following recipe down soon. Itll hopefully be the makings of my house beer. 0.25kg crystal 0.2kg carapils 2kg LDM 0.5kg Dextrose 20g Mosaic 10g cascade @60min 20g cascade @ 30min 10g cascade + 10g mosaic @ 10min 10g cascade + 10g mosaic @ flame out. US05 yeast Dry Hop...

Actually you brought up a good point too. I have found these also to be down on the abv. Most finish approx around 4% mark. Watered down? Not sure. Any how im probably not going to purchase any for a while.

Ok true, i did dry Hop with The galaxy, but only put in 20g. didnt do much but i understnd. i may have to give the ol Steeped grains a go next time!! Thanks

Hi all, Just seeing what other peoples thoughts are on the ESB brand (local to the NSW sydney area) fresh worts and Can kits? I have had a little experience with them so far that has left me and my brews a little deflated. I gave the "All in one" cans a go.(prepackaged cans for what style you...

Popped out and got a heat pad under. She is popping away again. And this mornings reading was 1010. So happy about that. Should be sorted soon then onto my Double IPA

It was a fresh Wort kits from esb. it was a pale ale and the original gravity was just below 1050. I did a comparison brew with dry yeast. I used an 05 in a brew right next to it. That went to 1008. Thus the reasons i ask. I am only on extract as i dont have the room nor equipment to do my calcs.

Hi all, As the title puts it i have a brew that has gone to sleep. Its a pale ale with liquid yeast cal ale 001. It has gone down to 1014 and stayed there. I have given it a swirl. Put a little warmth in and not much has happened. Is it an idea to pitch another yeast. Say an 05? Also i was...

Just tried my Citra IPA. Great drop. I did adjust the Hop additions to my preference and as an extract brewer changed out to liquid malt, with a touch of wheat and some specialty grains. Has an almost sweet taste that goes very well with the passion fruity Citra Hop. I can post the recipe if...

Thanks mstrelan. The recipes do look great, may i ask, i assume without giving away your own personal secret, how you tackled the hop additions and what you may have done going to extract for the recipes? Cheers
