any more bravo updates? bravo dryhopping seems questionable, but decent flavor? i brewed an all bravo pale ale yesterday, 1st time using the hop. hops smelled a little oniony, earthy, and citrusy at 15AA pound of rye and crystal 50, 6# LME. 60 .5oz 15 .5oz 5. 1oz

chef, which lhbs and at what cost if you don't mind me asking? i'm by broadway and 470 and could use 1 or 2 pin locks. thanks.

does anyone know what hops are in the hop blend? i think i read it's 4 hops and the additions are .75 oz each, so 3 oz at each addition. would dryhopping give this a longer peak window?

i just got midwests dual regulator 2 keg system for about $200 and a fridge for the garage off craigslist for $80. I will eventually add another keg and faucets. it's been great so far! saves lots of time.

i also threw 1.5 oz in my keg on thursday b/c the slight off lemony tart twang did not completely disappear and my party was approaching. half chinook and half saaz. the beer just 2 days later was much more well rounded. we'll see how people like it at today's bbq. glad i dry hopped too!!!

i moved to denver 2 years ago and haven't gone...partially b/c it sounds like a s**t show. so i'm subscribed to find the best session as well for this year.

possibly not fully conditioned yet? i have a pale ale in the keg for a party next weekend as well and last weekend it was a little tart almost lemony, just seemed to be an off-flavor finish; the sour / tartness is fading. it's also been brewed about 5 weeks ago w/ chinook at 60 and 15 w/...

i'm not sure where all this info about short primaries is coming from in this thread. at least three weeks is great for primary. extract can make as good beer as all grain.

p.s. i can go to lhbs is needed though always nice to just wake up and brew!

I'm about to brew a single hop partial mash IPA this weekend. I'd like to have a good recipe as I hope to make a few other single hops w/ the same recipe. I can PM up to 4# of malt and would like to have an OG of around 1.6 and IBU about 50. Currently, I have 6# LME, 5# vienna, and 1# crystal...

how is it to just store pellet hops in a mason jar in the freezer?

i always thought dale's pale ale from oskar blues really pushed the pale ale enevelope.... at 6.5% and 65 ibus.

if break out... i might be interested in turkey fryer and SS pot; i'm in south denver

those anniversary kits look like a killer deal... cheaper than locally putting recipes together i would guess. anybody brew one yet?

that just perfectly answered my question regarding the slight cardboard taste in my pale ale that's only been in the bottle 2 weeks. i was going through all sorts of factors in my head (with new house and system used) but will chill out for a few more weeks.
