Brew day hopefully
I’m going to try and brew a batch today and I’m hoping the advice I was given in previous posts will help my end product. I simply cannot forget the Whirlfloc tablet! I’ve also installed an under the sink water filter, not quite an R-O filter, and am hoping that will also help distinguish the flavors.
I plan on making use of Google calendar to send me reminders when to rack, and this time I will even use my hydrometer to check initial gravity. The last time I’ve done that has to be nearly twenty batches ago!
This last batch that I brewed with Whirlfloc and kegged turned out ok, and was certainly lacking in the gastrous side effects that the previous stout had.
If I don’t light the fire this afternoon, I’m hoping to do it tomorrow. Perhaps I’ll go smack that pack and make it certain that I brew.
Cheers!

Did you did it? I did the same thing yesterday. Whoohoo! I think I’m calling it Special Chinookadillo #0 heheh…

Yup, OG of 1.080, will have to see if thats accurate with what I put in there though.
Followed the directions to a T this time.

Interesting, mine was 1.082
What did you brew?

Midwest’s Hophead double IPA. There were a lot of hops in there, and two ounces Cascade leaf for dry hopping.
My OG seems higher than the listed OG though.
