    American IPA Ithaca Flower Power Clone

    Wait until primary fermentation stops-- don't rush it. -- also, r u gunna rack to a secondary? if so, then most definitely wait until primary fermentation is complete.

    IPA tastes very alcholish

    Happened to me before-- Most likely too high of a temp when you first pitched your yeast. I try and cool my wort to below 70--usually 66-68, so that won't happen again. I also don't worry about to much trub. That shouldn't give that alcohol taste. Also make sure that wherever your...

    Glad everyone is enjoying this beer. For me, it's all about the mosaic hops-- such a unique hop flavor.

    First time brewer - hot fermentation question

    Don't stress it or overthink it at this point. It'll probably be just fine. In the future I would just stick to the recommended fermentation temp, and not worry about an OG that was slightly higher. Enjoy it!!

    Yep, I agree- if no starter then use 2 packets of dry yeast. That works fine.

    I use Safale-US -05 sometimes, that works just fine.

    Shipping Beer Laws

    Does anyone know the best way to ship bottled beer to other people in other states. UPS? USPS? Fed Ex? I want to do some trading with people from other states, but I didn't know the laws or what is the best way to pack it. thanks

    I used pellet hops. I seem to get more flavor and better aroma with them. Also, not exactly sure how I got 94% attenuation. I couldn't control my fermentation temps and it was a little cooler in my basement then usual.

    Ya know, this was the first time I have ever used carapils. I usually use Crystal 10, so I was not exactly sure what to expect. I actually enjoyed the carapils in this recipe, but I'm sure crystal 10 or 20 would be just fine. I also prefer the 2-row over pilsner. Sometimes when I use too...

    Yes, I did a side by side tasting and they were very close. I actually thought my clone had better aroma and slightly better flavor, but I was probably just being partially biased to my homebrew. Regardless, they were both very good. I really enjoy the Dirt Wolf, and I am not always a huge...

    Yeah, I saw that as well. I wasn't sure how that would affect my clone, but it didn't seem to matter that much.

    No inside info. I just brewed this myself and kegged it. It really came out nice. I was very pleased. I used Chinook as my bittering hop then I figured I would use Citra,Mosaic and Simcoe for flavor. The Citra dry hop also added an amazing aroma. Those were the hops listed on their...
