Agree...seem like the longer you drag out the dry hopping the longer it takes for the beer to finishAfter looking through the notes for five batches of this beer, I've got five different dry hopping schedules and the only complaint about it was due to switching up yeast on one of them. They are all based on a 3oz Simcoe and 2oz Amarillo dry hop with times varying from 7+5 (2.5 Simcoe, 1.5 Amarillo for 7 days, .5 of each for 5 days) to all 5oz for just 3 days after primary is finished. With no difference that I have been able to find, I would recommend going with the single three day charge with all of it at once, but everyone's opinions seem to vary on those things. Also, I have been using the Imperial Yeast House for the last three batches. Prior to that, it was just 1056, 2 liter starters.
Oh boy so sad to hear your work went to waste glad nobody got hurt except for your feelings but I'm glad to see the car boy finally full and bubblingGot started a few weeks ago with some neighbors. One guy used to brew all the time and stopped a while back. I brought brewing up at a bbq a few months back as it’s something I’ve thought about doing for years and he lit up. He still had his whole set up, so I bought an all grain porter kit and sparked it back up. We brewed it up in his back yard (while drinking all day) and it smelled amazing. Got it racked, pitched the yeast in the carboy, then he carried it in to the basement to set down...then slow motion kicked in as the 5 gal carboy slipped, dropped, and exploded all over the basement floor. Luckily nobody got hurt. Lost the beer that night, but I loved the process and went all in and bought my own set up too. This cul de sac will become brewmageddon. We racked a juicy double ipa last week and this is my first 5 gal cook
Nice gear awesome setup do you brew indoors

Thank. I wasn’t worried about losing the beer. I had a great time with some friends and took it as a learning experience. The pic of the carboy is from right after I racked it last night. The krausen in there this morning was good 3 - 4” already. Hopefully it turns out ok, it’s the first one I’ve done solo. I’m looking forward to experimenting with flavors.Oh boy so sad to hear your work went to waste glad nobody got hurt except for your feelings but I'm glad to see the car boy finally full and bubbling
Wow that’s a great setup you’ve got there!
I know it's been awhile so I have to remind you to take good notes sanitize everything and be patient LOL.... did you have a hydrometer did you take a reading of the original gravity what number did you hit...Thank.

Oh yeah, I’m paranoid so I sanitized like crazy. It had an OG of 1.050 which was right on the money for what the recipe said it should be.I know it's been awhile so I have to remind you to take good notes sanitize everything and be patient LOL.... did you have a hydrometer did you take a reading of the original gravity what number did you hit...
