I don't have any dated bottles, but they have been brewed this year for sure...just dont recall specific dates. FWIW...the difference in taste was more substantial than a bit of difference between batches...it simply seemed less malty and hoppy...like it was toned down. Maybe the earlier stuff...

Figured as much. I brew with AHS kits and happened to look at their instruction sheet (which I normally ignore for the most part) and noticed it said to make sure its cooled to 80. I hadn't thought about it much until I read that and figured I'd post in the newb section for a quick answer : )...

I recall coming across a thread about Dogfish 60 tasting different now and someone trying to get Dogfish to acknowledge something. I didn't think much of it until I got a 6 of it and it indeed was not nearly as hoppy and flarvorful as some older bottles I had in the beer fridge? Anyone know...

I got my hands on a 120 last weekend. It was the richest food I have every tasted and yes I found it way too sweet. I like hops and really like Dogfish 60 and assumed it would be an extension of that one, but its totally different. Wasn't very hoppy at all. Mine wasn't aged much, but I still...

I boiled my priming sugar a bit late and due to having to get to work didnt have time to let it fully get under 80 degrees. I dumped it into the bottling bucket about 20 minutes before adding beer. I don't know what the temp was but would guess around 100-110 if I had to guess. Obviously, once...

Zen..nope haven't took and gravities since the day I secondaried. I don't like cracking the top for any reason, but it was close to the intended final gravity. The comments from you and mith seem to confirm that fermentation restarted. I thought infection at first, but the top layer looks like a...

Wouldn't that happen sooner than later...why would I start to see this 8 days into dry hopping? This is a continuous steady bubbling that has occurred over the past few days. So, do I wait until the stuff clears back up or stops bubbling?

I am doing a Dogfish 60 IPA clone and pitched 2 vials of White Labs WLP002. This was my first use of my spiffy new refrig with digital temp control. Primary was fermented at 70-71 deg, which was a bit low but I was worried about fermentation starting. Anyway, fermented for 2 weeks in the...

Ok..so I bottled this batch months ago and tasted a bottle about once a month. It has a pretty strong 'green apple' flavor. I figured with aging it would mellow a bit, but it doesn't seem like its changed much. In the meantime I did an AHS TX Kolsch kit because the tunaround on this one is a...

I did an AHS kit of Fat Tire a few months back. It came out pretty close, but didnt seem to have as much hoppy bite at the end. It was a tad more malty/sweet. Side by side, most people preferred the AHS kit to the real Fat Tire. Color was pretty much on, I had a longer lasting head on mine...

I currently have some of the mentioned brew going in my primary chugging along fine after a few days. I've poked around a bit and was wondering if I should let this one sit a bit longer. I'm using the AHS recipe and with most of them, they tend to recommend 4-7 days in a primary and rack to...
