    BIAB Witbier / Blanche / Belgian Wheat Beer 2 (ph, salts, fermentation temp...)

    I've read it could be: - sulphur -> dip copper to avoid it (during the boil), unfortunately my chiller is not copper :( - autolysis -> no way, my beer was only 10 days in the fermenter! - lack of nitrogen -> use yeast nutrient?? - white part of the peel -> impossible, i peeled it with my...

    BIAB Witbier / Blanche / Belgian Wheat Beer 2 (ph, salts, fermentation temp...)

    Yesterday I bottled. The FG was 1010 so... 5.25% ABV, righ on the money! The color was right and I got 11L of beer. I calculated it for 10L but I don't know when I did a mistake and added 1L extra... anyway, all good. I drunk the beer from the hydrometer and I don't know why but it has a...

    Just how DO you get that juicy IPA taste and aroma?

    Day 2 seems too soon to me, but I will give a try to the day 3 dry hop for 5-6 days..

    Just how DO you get that juicy IPA taste and aroma?

    Yes , I cold crash to 3℃ for only 24h, just to help the major part of the sediments to settle down , I didn't do a full cold crash. I put all the details in another post.

    Just how DO you get that juicy IPA taste and aroma?

    The only things I didn't do as you said were : -i used us5 -I did two dry hops, one after 4 days and a second one after 7 (for 3 days more) Next time I will dry hop after 4 days only for 6 days... And I'll drink it all after one week of bottle condition. I will make the apa party ! Jejeje

    Just how DO you get that juicy IPA taste and aroma?

    My ridiculously hopped apa with just pale and wheat (no crystal) was amazing one week after bottling and now, one month later has become almost an amber ale with very little hop aroma... :( Must be oxidation. I don't see myself redoing the experiment in the near future... I have plenty of pirate...

    BIAB Witbier / Blanche / Belgian Wheat Beer 2 (ph, salts, fermentation temp...)

    I finally brewed it on saturday. In the end I decided to cut down in half the amount of aromatic malt, so I did: 50% unmalted wheat (flaked) 42.5% pilsner 5% rolled oats 2.5% aromatic malt I increased the amount of sparge water from my last brew so the thickness of the mash (before sparge)...

    Hops in the freezer? I thought the back part of the fridge was good enough

    Just how DO you get that juicy IPA taste and aroma?

    Yes, i think that has to do with this one being the last bottle and having a little trub. I Guess It had more yeast. Let's see how the normal ones turn out. Can't wait..

    BIAB AMERICAN PALE ALE (EXTRA HOPPY)

    Just posted it in the juicy hoppy post but this belongs here... I couldn't help myself yesterday and I opened one of my last APA bottles. I took it from the fermenter fridge where they are now carbonating/conditioning at 19-20º and I put it into the fridge for 2hours and into the freezer for...

    I couldn't help myself yesterday and I opened one of my last APA bottles. I took it from the fermenter fridge where they are now carbonating/conditioning at 19-20º and I put it into the fridge for 2hours and into the freezer for 15-20'. As they have been carbonating just one week and I did a...

    I suppose we will see what's true and what's bullshit after all! Bad thing about cold crashing is the carbonation takes longer... :(

    Just how DO you get that juicy IPA taste and aroma?

    Great experiment (shaking the hell on one bottle). There's one thing I don't have clear... Why do you think cold crashing affects the hoppyness? And why do you think not cold crashing but racking to other bucket with a sock will be a better option? Doing this you'll expose ALL your beer to the...

    BIAB Witbier / Blanche / Belgian Wheat Beer 2 (ph, salts, fermentation temp...)

    Don't get me wrong, I will stick to the mash program you told me, I just wanted to know the names and the purpose of every step. For me it's not enough to have a procedure, I need to know and understand why, the reason behind. I guess you will get tired of telling me the answer to my questions...

    According with BYO (lucky! another public-link!): https://byo.com/article/the-science-of-step-mashing/ This is the table of mash steps: So we would be doing: 15' 45℃ Beta-Glucanase (also Phytase?) 5' 55℃ Peptidase/Proteinase ? 60' 65℃ Beta-amylase 10' 72℃ ??? <-- to be Alpha-amylase it...
