Anyone who tatsed it said it was a tastey brewthat they could session out easy. Unless they were not hop heads of course. The recipe was as posted more or less. My next beer (brew day tomorrow) will be based on this recipebut using a 5 hop blend on the burst schedule instead of all one...

...and i love it.

Just cracked my first from the batch. Close to what i was going for, but AWESOME. my next beer will be a partial batch version of this one with "earthy" hops insted of Citra, and a touch of rye. As soon as I get some objective beer tasters to try this brew, I will post their opinons...

I will say that if you are brewing on a budget, early hops help. I have 9 oz of Citra in this beer. That is coming to about $11.34 just in hops. My next beer (same recipe, but a partial mash with rye and what i'm calling earth hops) will be using probably 10 to 12oz total, for a hop bill...

Dude, If that calculator is on point (and I used it right), I just found out why my beer is too carbonated. Thank you much. That being the case. My Citra beer here should only need 2.5 to 3oz of Dex. Man! Thanks for the knowledge hole! :mug:

...complete. After 2 solid weeks in the secondary. Scheduled to bottle Tuesday next week. Sipping it now... ...definately still a bit green, but has a nice Citra flavor with a touch of sweetness. I like it, ALOT. Definately my favorite personal brew taste to date (at this stage of...

Woodman's in Kenosha. dude, if you have not been there since they remodeled, you witll freak out on their beer selection. They have tons of small brews. Tons of Imports (HB baby! gonna try to brew a Helles clone next winter). Tons of huge beers. I think they will even order stuff for you...

Cheers to that brother!

Dude! Definately gonna rock this brewery after this sampling. The place I grocery shop has an unbelieveable beer selection, and carries tons of these guys' brews. 8 ozs down. Mellow now. Mellow.

Anyone try this brew? I just cracked one and sipped 4 ozs, and i am already buzzed a touch. 11% as all hell. It has a decent nose with a (what I think for an IIPA to be) well balaced flavor. Honestly a little to malty for my tastes, but still delish. Just some weird back end flavor, sorta...

In my very rookie opinon, the white looks like mold which should not be an issue. Just do not rack it. As for the orange tentiicals, i have no idea, but it looks like they are trying to take root. Call it "Mega Organic", and put the last pic ya posted on the label. I'll drink it sir!:mug...

by the by, i used the can in question. today is the end of the first week of conditioning, and the brew is clean as hell. Tastes good. Green, but good. Thanks again for the feedback!

I want the beer to condition for 3 weeks at least and loose that green flavor it has. That said I do not want to loose the hop aroma gained by the dry hop. If I dry hopped it right as I racked it to the secondary, I believe I would loose a lot of that hop aroma as I experienced with my first...

With you on this. Had the exact same issue with my last secondary rack. Even accidentaly pushed one stopper through into the boy as it was slippery as all hell from the starsan soak/rinse. Gave up on the second stopper attempt as it just kepted coming out (had a vodka suck back issue too...

...racked it to secondary 6 days ago. the brew is darker than i hoped, but smells awesome. Tastes green as all hell. Really clean too. Probably due to my not dry hopping it yet. Gonna do that after 2 weeks in the secondary. Onward! :rockin:
