Just got into mine for the first time yesterday. I entered it in a local competition today to get some feedback on it.

Cascade Brewers comp? I was going to get some in, but it's just not going to happen. I'd love to hear how you do. I put this into Novembeerfest last year but with apricot extract, placed 3rd, got a 36 average score. And that was 5 months after brewing it.Just got into mine for the first time yesterday.

Ah, I see...not Ravenna as in the Seattle Neighborhood...Just dropped them off today. O'Connors Home brew shop and Unruly Brewery are running one. First time I think. Results are announced March 21.
Michigan. Right between Muskegon and Grand Rapids.
I was just wonderin if there was a way to quick lager this beer. My lease is up on sunday and due to poor planning, it is in the primary and has finished fermenting. I was going to transfer to secondary and try to condition it. But i was wondering if there was a way to condition it a little faster in a week?
on 1-20-2015 / 01-22-2015 I brewed a couple of batches and all 20 gallons were gone by 2-28-2015
I love this recipe and will have to brew another 20 gallons in a couple of weeks
all the best

Damn! Either you're an alcoholic or you have a bunch of friends that are but to a lesser degree! Lol
My batch came out so effing clear and delicious. I am sure I believe this is my best beer that I brew. Have made it three times and no other style gets this good this quickly.
Woooooooooooooo!!!- Ric Flair
Brewed this yesterday. 2.5 gallon BIAB. OG was kinda high @ 1063. Mash efficiency was 79% according to Beersmith. This may be a 6 or 7%er. I guess I should have used 3 lbs of 2 row and not 4.
4 lb 2 Rahr 2 row
1 lb Flaked Maize
12.7 oz Flaked Rice
7.6 g Willamette
7 g Crystal
5.5 g Notty
90 minute mash
90 minute boil
This finished at 1009, so 7.09% ABV. Sample tasted pretty good. It's on gas and cold crashing right now.
Aaaand?
What was your mash temp? Mine finished at 1.010 right on target but sample finished kinda sweet mashing at 154 and fly sparing with 158. Should be done carbing by Sat. I'm thinking for the next one I might mash at 149, and sparge with 154, shooting for a dryer less sweet finish.
Soo...... rookie mistake.... I'm used to doing 60 minute boils. So when I saw put the hops in at 60, I automatically put them in at the start of the boil. So basically I boiled the hops for 90 min. Does that mean I probably boiled away all the bittering flavor or do you think it will be alright?
No Wilianette on hands. Would Fuggle work? Well heck no crystal either. Mt Hood??
I may be wrong, but I do believe that your 90 minute boil has increased the bittering of the hop addition. Hop aroma and flavor decrease the longer the hops are boiled, but bittering increases with time.

How does it taste with cornmeal?
I brewed this recipe up a few weeks ago. I used flaked corn and rice and used the BIAB method. This was my first all grain batch.
I got a surprising 1.053 OG (11.5 gallon final volume) and today I got a 1.010 FG after 23 days in fermentation. So this should be a 5.64% ABV light beer!
Loved the flavor! Five gallons is in a keg, on 12 psi, and cooling to 33 degrees with gelatin for fining. The other 5 gallons will have to wait for this weekend to get bottled.
Looking forward to drinking this and if it tastes as good as it did today, then it will be a regular in my keg!
Did you use regular rice? How did you prep it? We don't have minute rice where I'm from!
Heating strike water now, added an extra 2 lbs of 2-row I had laying around however I only had a 1/4lb of rice so I'm not sure about this batch
