All Grain Brewing / Recipe of the Week- Red Velvet- IBUs?

« on: July 22, 2011, 10:48:15 AM »

Love the beer and cant wait to make it. After entering it into BeerSmith I show it with 97IBUs but recipe stats show 66IBUs. Any feedback would be great. Checked all settings and amounts/time/AAs. Using Rager as well.

Thanks

General Homebrew Discussion / Possible Diacetyl detected

« on: March 16, 2011, 02:11:30 PM »

Brewed an (all-grain)American Wheat with a little (10%) Rye and used Kolsch yeast. Fermented around 62 and let raise to 66 after 8 days. Seconday for 7 days. Kegged it and carbed it. About a week later took samples and taste is great  but at the very end I taste what I think is Diacetyl. Although only a little, it is there. Question: if I took the keg out of the fridge and let it come up to room temp would that do anything to reduce this slight aftertaste?
Any other thoughts? Is it still to early and it will subside over the next 2 weeks.

Thanks

General Homebrew Discussion / Style help for American Wheat/Rye

« on: February 25, 2011, 06:06:33 PM »

Hello all, I plan on submitting an American Wheat style beer for the NHC next month and wanted to know that if I have some of my grist as rye do I need to submit it as an American RYE?? It is around 12% rye.

Thanks
