Zymurgy. Used to get Brew Your Own, but felt it got quite repetitive, so opted out a couple of years ago...

Just brewed this today. Was looking for a great summertime beer, and this looks perfect. Citrus season is pretty well past, so I had to settle for 9 heirloom oranges, 2 limes, 3 lemons and 2 red grapefruit. The wort smelled amazing after the flameout zest-rest. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

If you vary the boil volume of an extract recipe you will affect the hop utilization, resulting in a (potentially large) variation in the bitterness of the resulting beer. Hop utilization is affected by the gravity of the liquid in which the hops are boiling. Higher gravity yields less...

Brewed this the day after Thanksgiving. (You can have your Black Friday, I'll take my Brew Friday, thank you very much...) I think the LHBS only gave me a half-pound of Caraaroma (or the one they have has a MUCH lower SRM) -- my color was pretty pale going into the fermenter, and pretty pale...

Just completed the survey. Hopefully headed to the Washington [State] Brewer's Festival at some point during the weekend. Tapping my first-ever self-brewed beer on Sunday (my Father's Day gift to myself). Planning for brew #2 for the following weekend.
