Well now that u mention it, I have 1 eye and a service dog.... Good joke..

We found some soda bottles to use. Found 1 place 45 mins away that said they had them, we get there and they only had 20.... Used my pop tops for the rest.

Going to brew some passion fruit soda today with my buddy who doesn't drink beer. I've got everything I need to head to his house and make this stuff, except bottles. I have some flip tops and a few beer bottles, but we can't be going to work with beer bottles, regardless if it's soda or not...

Just opened my SNPA and damn!!! It's dead on! Everyone I give it to can't tell the difference. My buddy who only drinks SNPA absolutely loves it!

I've done a tour at there original place out here in California. My brothers fiance's brother is a good friend of people in there. We got to spend all day in there. Just us, it was amazing. BTW, there parking lot is 100% covered in solar and the sides are alllllll hops growing. Completely...

Og-1.050, fg-1.014. It fermented 3 weeks in primary. That was the day I racked it onto strawberries, so it got a little more pale. Tasted ok, a little bitter. I even showed this to my local brew shop that I ask all my questions and get all my ingredients. They said to rack it and wait and see...

Just stating that I and Sierra Nevada uses Magnum. Not saying u have to. I made this batch for my buddy who drinks nothing but SNPA. Hes marrying my fiance and I so I made him and my 3 groomsmen a batch each for the night of. I opened my carb test bottle last night and wow, its dead on to my...

I brewed this a few weeks ago. It came out VERY VERY pale. Hardily a tint of yellow but was cloudy. I racked it onto the strawberries regardless. I just racked it Into a 3rd and its still very pale. Slightly darker but still really pale. Any pictures of what u finish with? It's cold crashing...

I have bottles carbonating now with my Sierra Nevada I used 5grams of Magnum hops at 60 mins. It's what Sierra Nevada uses in there pale ale. I've got a Sierra Nevada old chico brewing now.

I like the idea of getting rid of the DME all together. So will 3.5# DME be 3.5# of 2-row?

Good tip! I'll sub out the DME. I'm going with wyeast 1056- chico yeast on this brew. I've never actually had old chico, my brother is a big fan, its pretty rare to even see it in the bay area. From my understanding, its a unfiltered wheat with ale yeast.

I'm not going for an exact clone, but trying to get close. This is what I'm looking for, little tweaks

This is only 1 of 4 beers I'm brewing, all of which none are tried and true brews. I really haven't had a brew I haven't liked. The recipe above is everything I can find in other recipes and what Sierra Nevada has to offer. Regardless, I'm going to brew the beer, I was asking if anyone would...

So, I'm gunna be brewing beer for my wedding and Sierra Nevada old chico is one of the beers that the groomsmen want. I really couldn't find much on this recipe so I added a bunch of similar recipies together with the info I was able to get off Sierra Nevada web site and came up with this...

I didn't know u could buy new seals. I only have 12 of those bottles, the rest are capped, still gonna need them though. I really didn't think my kolsh was going to turn out good, I messed up the hop times and fermented at room temp 65-70° . that is what thi instructions said to do though. The...
