Reply. Good luck, everyone!

Amarillo! Awesome contest, thank you!

Heh, maybe. OR maybe the honey didn't dissolve enough to be picked up by the hydrometer and I dumped a ton of DME and sugar into a batch for no reason and will now have a very high ABV beer. :)

I would believe it, about the mash temp based on this experience. Odd that the Brewer's Friend calculator didn't account for it. I guess I shouldn't rely on it too heavily :( And that's a good point about the honey's sugar content, plus problems with dissolving it. May have been a combination...

Hey Doug, thanks for the reply! I did not mill the grain, but I did have the LHBS mill it twice which I always do. The pilsner malt was listed as "German Pilsner Malt" on the site. I don't know much about this malt to be honest, it's my first time using it. Could this particular malt have the...

Hi everyone! I recently decided to try my first lager (have the keezer up and ready to go and an extra keg for it to lager in for 6 weeks) and using the Brewer's Friend software and some other super simple grain-bill lager recipes, I put the following recipe together for a honey lager: 6 lb...

I know this is an old thread, but does S-23 not like being at Lager temperatures eventually? If I did 10 days @ 55F, then D rest at 65F for 36 hours, then slowly lowered it to, say, a more standard lagering temp (35F) and held it for 3-6 weeks, would that not be ideal?

Entered. Fingers crossed! PS: You guys are truly awesome for doing these giveaways.

Congrats to the winner!

My new squeeze method, using an oven grate on the bottom and the lid on the top :D

So... slightly off-topic. The no-boil NEIPA was on my to-brew list but in the interim I was making an American wheat (Blue Moon clone, effectively) and I decided to dry hop it with 2 oz Amarillo during the last 3 days of fermentation and WOW. It comes across like a faux NEIPA. It's hazy and has...

Thanks for sharing your review -- sorry to hear about your ankle!

Nice! I started a wheat beer last weekend so I'm waiting to brew this til yours is done and you can tell me if it's bitter or not :P

Awesome, excited to see how it turns out. If I could get a juicy NEIPA on tap with all that beautiful hop flavor and aroma but less IBUs, I'll be super happy.

Did you make any changes to the original recipe? I was thinking to brew this because I like NEIPAs but I don't like IPAs (NEIPAs end up being way less bitter, the bitterness is what turns me off IPAs). Do you think there would be a way to make this recipe and avoid the bitterness? I thought...
