Brewed this in Dec. 14 days from fermenter to keg. in the keg on the 23rd empty by the 1st. Great beer, even without the time to mature it didn't have a big boozy nose.
Zombie dust on the left and an Imperial IPA with falconers flight on the right.
Used wlp001 and 007 on the zombie and mangrove M44 west coast on the imperial.
For Father's Day my out if town daughter sent me a pound of citra and a pound of falconers flight. I am looking for a great ipa recipe to incorporate them into.
Suggestions? I keep doing searches but end up chasing rabbits.
OK so after a few beers I bought another kit from Northern Brewer (after I swore I was done with Kits)
It was a Negra Modelo Clone, thought this was an ale, found out it was a Lager 3/4 of the way through the boil.
My plan was not to do a lager until I had the fermentation chamber...
I over carbonated a landlord clone. I have 2 cases of this

What's the best way to save this?
I was thinking of opening one and timing it until it reached the correct level of flatness then apply that to the rest of the batch.
Any better suggestions?
Smaller beers are better for learining on unless you have better than average patience.
I love drinking big beers. Anything over 8% usually makes me a happy camper.
My first beer should have been a 6% Belgian Wit, I screwed up the boil and ended up with a bitter 9% belgian something. It tasted...
Almost 2 months later.......
What a difference. This is actually drinkable! A buddy and I shared a bottle, he commented that it tasted like a good Belgian IPA.
Patience is golden
so I have this belgian strong extract brew (1.090) that I pitched with WLP500 at 63F and let sit there for 8 days.
At 8 days I was at 1.040 so I decided to warm it up to 70 and have left it for another week.
Now I am at 1.023 and wonder if this is it or should I let her ride for another...
