Thanks for the replies. Hurried thru the original post and didn't give specifics, apologies. Target OG was 1.060 and only got 1.048. I wasn't all that timid on the hops either. 1oz Apollo 18% @ 60 and 1oz Cascade 5% @15 and 1oz Cascade @ ~2-3min. Afraid this may be a little much for a beer at...

I brewed a AIPA last night and missed my OG by ~.12. First time for me and I didn't have any DME on hand (I know, rookie mistake). So my question to all is what options do I have here? I was planning on maybe dropping some Honey after a few more days of primary ferm. Has anyone used honey in...

Thanks for the link. Helped..:mug:

Thanks. Probably will go with ahs greenbelt or 001. At least ill know it's not the yeast that screwed up my first ipa recipe, if it comes out bad.

Creating my first recipe, and going with an American IPA. I was considering using WLP060, never used it before but have read pretty good things. Anyone tried it in an IPA. Mine will be moderately hopped @69 IBU.

Just pitch it in a blonde ale today. We'll see...

How was he wlp060? Im thinking of using it in my first ipa first.

I really like the old school americana tattoo art and want to use some of Sailor Jerry artwork on some labels. I know they are cw and wondering if I can get into any trouble using them on my homebrew labels. I don't plan on selling any of them so it's not like a lot of people would see it, but...

Anyone ever used fruit as sort of a 2nd stage, ferment with Sake recipe. Plums, peaches, litchi?? I have never made Sake, but have Japanese in laws. I would like to brew up a batch and mail them a bottle, but am wanting to use some fruit. I have seen plum sake before, but not sure on how to...

I am curious on the different styles you guys have aged on wood chips. Also, it seems like Oak is the most popular, has anyone used any others i.e Cherry, Pecan, Walnut

Will be using Glacier in the boil and was thinking of dry hopping with Cascade or Centennial. What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance.. Griff

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking of adding it to a summer blonde or wheat. I am looking for a nice crisp, cool finish.. Something subtle and unique.

I have a nice mint plant on my patio, and am curious if anyone has ever used it and what kind of flavor, aroma, etc.. It has given.

Very nice.

I am getting ready to look for a chest freezer to convert. I would like to have at least 2 taps. Possibly 3 w/ CO2 and Nitro bottle setup. I was thinking 5 cu. ft would be good. Do you guys think this is too small for a 2 tap, 2 bottle system?
