This is what I did on mine also, no dry hop, just a zero addition. I get a little roasty and a lot of fruity aroma, I'm leaning more toward mango in mine then peach. After about 2 months in bottles, it really started to shine. Very good flavor. At first I didnt think I would brew this...

thanks Brew_Horn. This what I ended up making: 8 lbs Pale Liquid Extract (4.0 SRM) 8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) 8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) 4.0 oz Melanoiden Malt (20.0 SRM) 1.0 oz Black Barley (Stout) (500.0 SRM) 12.0 oz Corn Sugar (Dextrose)...

RichBenn, I think you are correct in using the GW Northwest pale malt. From what I have heard Deschutes uses a northwest malt with about a 3l color range.

ftlstrings, I can help you with that. I also think this looks tasty. wg

No Idea, but I'm interested also, that stuff is soooo good.

If I put my tap water in a carboy and then put an airlock on it, Will the chlorine still come out of the water through the air lock? Or do I need to just put a paper towel over it to keep nasties out. thanks wg

What would happen if I were to make this with an ale yeast (WLP 001)? Would I get a sweet wine of sorts. Could I bottle condition to make it sparkling sweet wine? thanks

Do you add it at the end of the boil, or the beginning? I know it will reduce hop utilization a little if added at the beginning. I've added 1lb at the beginning of the boil with other beers before without any cidery taste. I think it helps get the FG down a little on extract brews. When...

I decided to cut the sugar out completely. Up the C40 to 12oz, cut the C80 to 8oz. Beersmith gives me a OG of 1.056 now with a FG of 1.013 and still 51 IBU's. I will be brewing this sometime next week.

I came up with this recipe to try out some Citra hops. Any tips? 8 lbs Pale Liquid Extract 8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L 12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L 4.0 oz Melanoiden Malt - 20L 1.0 oz Black Barley - 500L 1 lbs Sugar, Table 1.00 oz Citra [11.00 %] (60 min)...

I dropped a fresh Fuggle hop into a glass tonight, it smelled and tasted great. Who would have thought that cascades and fuggles would smell good together?

Brewing this up now, hope it turns out good Amount Item Type % or IBU 8.00 lb Pale Liquid Extract (4.0 SRM) Extract 80.00 % 1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 10.00 %...

It turned out good, but not a very close clone. The hop amounts need upped to about 50 IBU's. The flavor is pretty close. The aroma is a little different also, not bad, just not Cinder Cone. I compared it to a bottle of Cinder Cone that I had stashed away and immediately noticed that the...

You could try my Firstblond recipe in my dropdown menu. Just sub out the perle hops for cascades, there is also another recipe in that post that would work fine also. It does include steeping some crystal 20, but thats pretty easy.

I'm going! Where and when should we all meet up?
