I'll take 1 GW 2-row and 1 Best Malts Pilsner. Thanks!

3.5 gal Flower Power IPA clone 3230.5

I used the Carafa III special. I keep going back and forth whether it's too roasty or not. The more I drink it, the happier I am with it.

This was my first attempt at making a black IPA based on several recipes spread around the internet. My general intent was to make a beer with actual dark malt character, not just a regular IPA that is colored black. The beer came out very roasty, maybe a bit too roasty, but it grows on me...

I'd like to participate. I'm at a point where it'd be nice to get some feedback from other homebrewers.

I collect some extra final runnings into PET juice or soda bottles and throw em right into the freezer. Unthaw and boil for 15-20 mins when making starters. This has worked real well, one less thing to worry about buying/having on hand!

Its a tough call... the burned taste is pretty strong now but I am wondering if it will fade like the smoke in smoked beers does

Well, I'm faced with the awful question "to dump or not to dump"... I suffered a catastrophic e-kettle meltdown last week brewing up a Rye Saison (see this thread for details - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/bizzare-e-kettle-malfunction-meltdown-393802/) I tasted the beer for the first...

When I emptied the kettle the element was covered in a thick layer of burned material - most of this I scraped off, I assume the coating was part of it. Although, some of it did end up in the wort which has me a little concerned. The finished wort actually seemed mostly fine - slight smoke...

Yea the sparge was really problematic (I have a pretty mediocre stainless braid... it does OK with normal grists, but really has issues with things like rye) - took a lot of stirring and messing with it to get it done, which resulted in very cloudy wort. I also realized another thing while...

Ah, that would make a lot of sense explaining the copper color - this was not a stainless element.

First, some background. I've been using a setup very similar to this - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/stove-assisted-ekettle-293644/#post3650142 Almost identical actually. 120V 1500W high-density element in a 7.5 gallon aluminum pot. I've successfully used this setup on 2 extract and...

So many options.... I suppose I'll just have to brew 'em all :mug:

Interesting, can't say that I've had the chance to sample an old & young Roche. I was always under the impression these were better with age. Have you tried brewing one before?

I'm looking to brew up something soon to age until next winter (or longer), thinking either a RIS or a Belgian quad. Whats everyones favorite beer for long aging?

Cool thanks! Looking to give this a try soon

What did you use for hops in this?

My first all-grain batch - EdWorts Rye IPA. Great success thanks to all the knowledge gained from the folks here!

Long time lurker here (past 6 months or so). Just wanted to thank the many great members of this forum for the wealth of information in making this first pint possible (EdWorts Rye IPA). Cheers all! :mug:
