I am about to brew a Red IPA that i am shooting for that old school spicy/sticky/herbal/ fruity pine character. Any thoughts on this recipe below? The malt bill is based off of Oscar Blues GKnight but shooting for a different hop character so i did my own hop combo. Edited to reflect 90 min...

Watched a video on mounting the pump but I am not sure if I can mount it vertical? Does this look ok? It primes perfectly and works great although the pump motor gets extremely hot.

Hey guys i am looking for some input on how to tweak this recipe into a more abbey/Quad style brown ale if that makes sense?

Hey guys I brewed a 1.080 Dopplebock Sunday and pitched a 5l starter which I built up over a week. It is now going on four days and I noticed no pressure or bubbles. Pitched at low 60’s while beer was in process of cooling down and got it down to 49. I have only done two lagers so I know they...

I am wondering if anyone has used Parents Choice Distilled water with minerals added for taste? I picked this up at Walmart thinking it was plain distilled then i noticed after i got home it has minerals added for taste. It is actually water for mixing baby formula, probably won't work for...

Hey guys I brewed a RIS a month ago and its still in the conical. I have brewed this before and it takes at least about 3-6 months to condition. This time i am adding three Madagascar vanilla beans, just not sure when. I scraped the insides and have soaking in one ounce of Disaronno, its all I...

Hey guys I came across this recipe from Basic Brewing radio and wandered if this looked like a killer recipe? I really like the idea of using Nottingham for the yeast. I was wandering if anyone happened to brew this or have suggestions? 15.5 lbs Brittish Pale Malt 4oz Honey malt 4oz Roasted...

Hey guys giving my first go at a NZ Pils recipe and using WLP830 for a 5 gal batch 1.051. Got my yeast today and a little disappointed it expired in September and I won’t be brewing till end of October. Brewers Friend yeast calculator says there is no viable yeast! Beersmith says 40% viable. I...

I just brewed a RIS Sunday and when I finished I took my OG reading and left it sitting out on the garage counter. This afternoon I came home and found it appears to be fermenting? The only problem is where did the yeast come from? This is a first for me.

Hey guys I was wondering if this water profile looked alright for a RIS I’m brewing? I’d prefer my stout to finish on the dryer side.

I got a pack of Imperial House yeast Jan 14 so decided to make a starter. Something tells me I’m going to regret my decision to put a 2L starter in a 2L flask. I also didn’t think about how much yeast itself was going to raise the volume level.

Hey guys I was looking to brew a toned down version of Lawson’s Sip of Sunshine. Anyone have thoughts on what I did here? I basically took the clone cut the percentages down to get the beer around 5.2% abv. I’m really not sure about the amount of hops though. With his beer being quite a bit...

Hey guys was wondering if anyone filters their beer straight from the conical. I have a Spike CF5 and glycol chiller and want to start filtering. Anyone do this straight out of the conical?

Just listened to the Brulosophy experiment using a plate filter verses non filter and was really impressed with the clarity of the filtered beer verses unfiltered beer. Is it possible to install and use a plate filter when racking from my conical going to the keg? I don’t like the idea of using...
