My friends are all into the IPA craze. The hoppier, the better. If my beer's IBU's are way up there, but the style is an Amber, a Brown, or an APA, my friends automatically get some sort of bias and will say "it's ok, but how about you brew an IPA!". Well, I've had it. My favorite style is...

Very cool. Thank you.

Interesting. I think I will try this with my APA next week. One question though, if I've already used Irish moss in the last 5-15min of my boil, is it ok using gelatin during cold crashing? If it's ok flavor-wise, is it overkill to use gelatin if you've already used Irish moss? I would think...

Unfortunately mobcraftbeer did not post the recipe correctly, despite my submitting it to them correctly.

Dude, Some of the feedback I got from my buddies is that they love the dry hop aroma. It almost smells of cannibus. And that they think it's gonna be really bitter but the after taste is a smooth bitterness that makes you want more. My 5 gallons is gonna go quick. Tim

I tapped this last night after letting it sit in secondary for 8 weeks. Aside from that I followed the recipe to a T. The aroma is amazing and makes you think it'll be way hoppy when you're about to take a sip. The body is medium light and there is a wonderfully subtle "toasty-ness" up front...

Gathered up everything to brew this over the weekend :) Will check off lots of firsts: first time: full volume boil first time: 5 gallon AG batch first time: brewing with Amarillo My plan is to follow the recipe exactly as the Dude has it. Question about the boil time / hop...

Trying two small batches of this, one with a full 60 min boil and one with a 15 min boil. Swapped out cascade for mosaic. Increased the DME quantity by about 20%. This is the 15 min boil at pitching time and at 48 hours. Here are both batches at 48 hours:

Correct. I've only been to brew and wine hobby. They're good guys there. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I've also heard good things about the other place.

Tapped this last week and killed it during a party we hosted yesterday. All positive reviews from our guests. I am considering this a staple going forward.

So I racked directly to the keg on Sunday and did a diacetyl rest. Will drop it down 2 dF/day until it reaches 35dF and planning to force carb and serve directly from the keg. Will let you know how it turns out. I took a quick sample with my beer thief and it already tasted mildly carbonated...

I am looking to serve this on 11/1

I brewed a ~2.5gal batch of this 3 days ago and have attached a picture that may help you, or maybe not? Here are the differences: Boil size: 3 gallons Batch size: 2.5 gallons (when I rack off primary trub) Used 3lbs of Light DME only HOPS: 1.25 oz - Cascade, Boil for 15 min 0.5 oz...

Nice. So you're beginning your force carb at day 18 and will keep it going throughout the rest of your schedule? I was confused about your force carbing but then you also mentioned a carb stone. I've only force carb'ed in corny kegs.

So you used ale yeast? I ended up using lager yeast because I wanted to brew an India Pale Lager. Seems like we're both following a similar schedule but your initial and final temps are higher (I started mine in primary at 50dF and will end up finishing at 35dF).

So the brew shop ended up swapping out the dry ale yeast that came in the kit with dry Nottingham lager yeast. I did not use a pitch calculator; I simply pitched the dry yeast as is (per instructions on the back of the packet). I am using a chest freezer on a temp controller so I can get the...

So I'm new to lagering but have been home brewing for about 4 years now. I've decided to take an English Pale Ale extract kit, add an extra 1oz of fuggle hops, and lager it to turn it into an IPL. Don't ask me why I've tried to transform something simple into something complex, but hey, isn't...

Just tapped this last night. The hop bill is VERY apparent but the sweetness of the malt balances it out. The all-cascade profile makes this a simple, very drinkable beer!

What was it that you did to make it not as hoppy as you would have liked? I am looking forward to this beer and I will be racking it to the secondary after a week... I was going to grab some Cascade hops from my buddy to do a dry hop in the secondary, and now since you're saying it didn't...
