    My Second beer - yet to be brewed

    So I’ve discarded sugar, and added an extra 2kg of pale. The crystal mix % of fermentables is now 13.3%. ABV is increased to 6 orso % to “match the style” for American IPA. Watcha think? Thanks for everyones input, btw!

    My Second beer - yet to be brewed

    Ok, so I’ll add a more negligible amount to boil now, just to push it a tad of the 5% line. More like 200g than 1.25kg. Hahaha

    My Second beer - yet to be brewed

    As for the efficiency, that explains why I shouldn’t really need sugar! Haha I had intended to set it to 55%, recommended for all grain. Must have set it to 35% and not realised! Oops!

    My Second beer - yet to be brewed

    ABV. Just my preference - 5.9 with, 2.9 without. I want to make someone someone could consider themselves buying. Not literally - I just kind of want to make something as close to professional as possible. (With the resources I have) Haha

    My Second beer - yet to be brewed

    You’re probably right about the IBU, it might be perhaps better for me to reduce the El Dorado - the are my buttering hop anyway in at 90mins. But a little less would probably be better! The lemon drop I was planning on doing in the last 10min, then dry hopping at a couple of different points...

    Hi! Here's my first recipe!

    Of course not! I'm just a beginner. To be perfectly honest, I'm just happy it's not a total disaster and something I can work on to improve! Haha That's part of the reason I am here, to soak up as much information and advice from people who have been doing this sort of thing for years! Thanks...

    Hi! Here's my first recipe!

    Thanks all! It was very bitter when I had a quick taste test before bottling, and at the time it was something that did worry me a little. However, after a couple of weeks in the bottle, it seems to at least be to my tastes! That being said, I am considering to reduce the amount of magnum in...
