west 6th brewing Christmas ale

please let me win

Find a friend that has chickens and give them the grains in exchange for fresh eggs. Thats what I started doing.

I use the same thing, plus I crush up 1 cambden tablet into my mash water. That way you get out both chlorine and chloramines.

Got the bjcp score sheet from the KY state fair and it scored a 41.5.

I just recently stewarded for a BJCP competition and it was definitely a great learning experience. I recall the judges saying a beer was great but it was entered into the wrong category(didn't fit the style guidelines for the category)so it didn't do well. The judges did put those comments in...

Stone's IPA to go. Actually poured out the other 5 bottles. Nasty stuff.

I entered this into the Kentucky state fair obviously category 14, and came away with Honorable Mention out of 50 entries. Thanks again.

made this on 8-2 (sat). used wlp-007, made a 1.5l starter on a stir plate and it started fermenting in under 3 hours. keeping my fingers crossed mine turns out as well as a lot of these have. Thanks Yooper

find your local Indian grocery store and buy it already crushed. I bought 7 oz. crushed coriander for $1.99. for other seeds I use an old coffee grinder, as said before fast and easy to clean.

Count me in

I brewed the 3rd batch of this last Friday. but switched the last cascade hop addition and the dry hop to Amarillo. should be interesting in a few weeks.

I love my 30l spiedel.

to bring it down to 70 ibu's beer smith says the first 8 additions should be .52ozs each. with the 1 oz at each addition I'm coming up with 134 ibu's. that just seems way to high. Are the majority of people using the exact hop schedule for the OP's recipe? Thx, Dave

gotta try this for my next brew. thx for posting.

Alot of people put 5.5 gallons into the fermenter so when the beer is done with fermentation you still get 5 gallons without pulling any of the trub into either your bottling bucket or keg.

Might want to put some star san in that jug just in case you get suck back when it slows down. Don't want to add any nasties to the fermentation.

I put on a new air lock and attached a tube to it and then inserted the tube into a jug of water Is the tube in water or something like star san or vodka.

My brew buddy and I did about 30, 5.5 gallon batches in2013.
