Just drank my first one from my attempt at this recipe. WOW! Definitely will be in the rotation as a beer I'm keeping in the fridge! :rockin:

Yeah, that's what I was thinking basically. Thanks for the reply :)

Starsan soak in a 5 gallon bucket for about 30 minutes then add the chiller at flameout. Haven't had a problem yet with 10 batches so I'm going to stick with it :)

A friend of mine gave me a bunch of hops that I want to use up. Some hops I have used before, some I haven't. I want to make an IPA or possibly a IIPA using these hops, and am looking for some help with the grain bill and hop schedule. I want to do a 5 gallon batch, all grain, using Safale US-05...

Count me in!!! WOW!

Bottled my first attempt at this one last night. Already tastes delicious. Can't wait for it to carb up and chill!

Worked in Albany for 5 years, not far from Wolf Rd on Winners Circle. Wasn't a home brewer at the time though.

Dry hopped mine last night, FG was spot on. Already tasted good, can't wait to get it into bottles and carbed up!:mug:

Just picked a sixer to try for the first time, drinking one now. This is a truly great beer! I get regular access to all the Vermont beers sought after (Heady Topper, Hill Farmstead, Lawson's Finest), and this one is definitely in the same league. Bummed it's not a year round release, but such...

Yeah, I'm gonna get the biggest one I can afford, but I haven't looked at them yet. What are you guys using for heat sources? I want something I don't have to worry about at all. I just want it all to work! How long are people getting out of the freezers themselves? I have wondered about how the...

I want to build a nice fermentation chamber, one that I can completely rely on. I don't want to break the bank, but I can spend some coin. My thoughts are, get a chest freezer, a Ranco, and some type of heat source. I guess my questions are, for you experienced guys, what size chest freezer...

Bottling a Black Rye IPA Monday, should be delicious!

I'd love to see these as well!

Oh I'm not worried about it at all, it's gonna be a good beer! Thanks for the response though Yooper :)

Gonna brew this recipe this weekend :rockin:

So I checked it and I'm right where I wanted to be at 1.012. I ended up just dry hopping in the primary to try that out. Funny thing is that it bubbled again before I took the blow off tube out, and again after I added the dry hops and put the airlock on. Maybe I'm going to loose another point...

Thanks for all the info, but I should have mentioned that I use glass carboys for my FV's. I have two 6.5 gallon and three 5 gallon carboys.

Well, another reason I like to secondary is it seems to clean the beer up nicely. I have yet to bottle a beer from my primary, but now you guys have me thinking...

I just didn't want to let any oxygen into the FV yet, I guess that was my main concern. I want to transfer to secondary to dry hop so I can free up this primary to brew again this weekend.

I brewed an all grain Black Rye IPA with an OG of 1.065. It's been in primary for 16 days now. I have been wanting to transfer to secondary and dry hop it but it's still bubbling...slowly. Maybe one bubble every minute to two minutes. On all my previous brews I waited until it stopped bubbling...
