Apologies if I posted my question in the wrong place. I posted it here due to the name of the article from where the recipe is posted. No worries, Tilt got stuck on 1.016 but was actually 1.009 when I did a hydrometer reading. I was considering pitching some CBC-1 if it tasted sweet but it is...
I tried the American IPA with Lilikoi recipe from the Five Awesome Beginner Recipes for BIAB post. Everything went according to plan until I added the passion fruit concentrate. After 5 days primary fermentation I added the concentrate and there hasn't been any drop in SG since the addition...
Going to be brewing this soon. I have made brews where I soaked oak chips in booze but I have always added the chips plus the booze to the fermenter. It seems most brewers are adding just the rum soaked chips and saving the rum for another use. Has anyone added some of the rum to the...

Sorry for bumping an old post but I am going to brewing this in the next few weeks and I like the idea of subbing dark candi sugar for the honey. Would it simply be a 1:1 replacement? What about using the dark candi syrups?
Just got back into brewing after a long hiatus and this is going to be one of my upcoming brews. Just a question about toasting the malt. I plan on toasting it on the stovetop and not roasting in the oven. Do you toast the first pound (lightly toasted) like oatmeal, about 5 to 7 minutes until...
