I think this plan is awful. One of the major tenants of brewing is SANITATION. You simply can't spit in your beer and think that it's going to come out good. Spit in one batch, and not the other? Really? What? He meant SPLIT batch brew test, not SPIT batch brew test? :o VrbybKWwb7c That’s how I get...

I’ve ways used Starsan.

I’m thinking of brewing a 3.5 gallon batch IPA on my M and B with the plan of splitting the wort into (3) one gallon single hop batches. I would use the same bittering hop for each batch and all the rest of the hop additions would be at a hopstand of around 170 for 30-40 minutes. I’ll add two dry ho...

I went a little overboard. I bought. Azacca® Pellets as low as $4.47/lb. - 1lbs Quantity: 1lbs 1 $4.47 Product Image Mandarina Bavaria as low as $4.47/lb. - 1lbs Quantity: 1lbs 1 $4.47 Product Image Hallertau Blanc as low as $4.47/lb. - 1lbs Quantity: 1lbs 1 $4.47 Product Image Styr.

I could t resist. I bought 5 lbs.

I didn’t cold steep for 24 hours. It was more like 12-16 hours. Maybe that’s the difference.

I didn’t advance. The catagory must of been very strong this year.

I received my scores last week. I brewed an Oatmeal Stout. I scored a 40 and a 38. I’m really happy with those numbers! This is only my second competition. I agree with the judges’ comments about my beer. The main area that brought my score down was a general comment of more flavor. I doubled the da...

I read that Brulosophy entry before I ordered the yeast. I was curious to try the Brulosophy Blend. I think it makes more sense to get the yeast that is specifically used for whatever style I am brewing. The blend is acceptable for the NEIPA but not great. I’m open to the possibility that the hop co...

I just sampled my NEIPA with Cascade, Amarillo and Citra that used the Brulosophy Blend. I used 2 oz of each hop for total of 6 oz for a 3 gallon batch. I only used .3 oz at 60 minutes for bittering. The rest were all whirlpool for 40,30 and 20 minutes starting at 170 degrees. The remaining 3 oz wer...

You guys are really making want to brew another batch.
I have an IPA fermenting that used the Brulosophy blended yeast. It has slowed down at 1.015 after 6 days in the fermenter. I haven’t checked it today but I’ve already ramped the temperature up to 72.

Hi Denny. I’m looking forward to your posts.
The experience level of newbies has really increased on the borg!

Hello everyone! I've been involved in the conversations going on over on the FB page for the Mash and Boil, and Berryman invited me over here to check things out. I've had my M&B for about a year now and have done about 18 batches on it. I bought the unit originally to do small BIAB batch as te...

I ran my 3rd brew on the Mash And Boil yesterday. I used the timer function to preheat my strike water and be ready after I woke up. This brew was a NEIPA. I need a beer for a party that’s coming up. 100 years old! The birthday girl won’t be at the party. I reset my Beersmith equipment profile to ma...

Motueka is described as lime. Maybe I’ll save it for a single hop brew. Sorry.I don’t mean to send this yeast thread of on a tangent.
