    Hops hops everywhere

    Before brewing I read previous reviews and comments. I went ahead and dry hopped with just the loose pellets. I cold crashed for one day but still had issues when bottling. I ended up improvising a filter for most of the batch and also tried to decant as I filled the bottles. I also took a taste it was great. I’ve tried one early bottle and it is not yet ready. It has a slight sweet taste. I hope I didn’t bottle too soon. I’m trying another tomorrow. After sitting in the fridge for a couple days the sediment was all settled and no issue when pouring. The beer is very good - I’m hoping it gets better.

    Smooth for a double ipa

    Pretty taxing to brew. But the work is well worth it. I noticed other reviews complaining about the chunks of hops. I learned about that nonsense when I added some to a long play ipa. After that I bought an inline filter and small spaghetti strainers. I first pour the brew through the spaghetti strainer into another brew keg. Then I use the inline filter and run it into a glass pitcher. Then I filled each bottle from the pitcher using a stainless steel funnel. I also invested in glass bottles and caps. Hopefully these tips work. I yield approximately 22 12oz bottles per brew.

    Better than I expected; cold crashing recommended

    First try at dry hopping an IPA. I learned alot in the process. First and foremost COLD CRASH your beer before you bottle it; especially when you have free floating materials.
