Hazy Pale Ale, because of the color and extra care I try to put into it (and an obvioius rip off from a classic book) "The Precious"

I have looked at this one in the past. Good price, the pictures show the dimensions and it has a welded on tab to hang the basket. This I was going to get it for a smaller batch system I put together but it was 1/2 inch too tall, Don't think I can cut the legs down and leave enough room on the...

Ha ha ha, came back to this thread to see what the original poster was getting at. Found my last post where I asked the original poster what his/her theory was had been deleted by a mod. I can't believe I behaved so poorly. How did I have the gall to actually ask what the theory was. My oh my, I...

I suck at names but a few I have stuck with is from a Chinese tale called The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Groove. They were philosophers, writers and poets and evididentaly they were alcohol fueled. So I have Seven Sages Pale Ale and Bamboo Grove Gold. I still brew an old school Pale Ale, Chinook...

I used to live in Beaverton before moving to Charlotte. I miss having good local options, for awhile we (you) even had Brew Brothers. Now i am in Charlotte, a most awesome pace to live but the only local shop is the far end of town from me, maybe 50 minutes one way. I found Hop Craft to be an...

APA - when someone says "let's grab a beer" this is what pops into my head. A litttle hevy handed on dry hops.

Are you talking about the wort or the finished beer? You don't comment on the fermentation so it appears you are tasting the wort, it will always taste much more bitter. Wait until after fermentation. Apologies if I am misunderstanding.

I keep seeing this and it isn't true. I have a pale ale with Magnum bittering and Simcoe dry hop, no other additions and I get fantastic hop flavors (pineapple, pine, citrus and orange). It leaves a clean, crisp beer with great hop flavor.

Thanks guys! Gives me some good options, I'm not the one driving so I get to try as much as I want.......

I will be I'm Wausau in a few weeks. Where should I go and what should I look for? I like hoppy beers and stouts but am anxious to try any good local beers. Can I get Surly in this area? Obviously will be looking for anything from New Glarus. Staying close to Great Dane, will give them a try...

I haven't used that combo before but sounds good. Citra can be overboard on fruit. The herbal/spicy character of nugget would provide a great balance. You have me thinking........

I love Portland! I have two within 2 miles and a third about 5 Miles away. Each has a little different variety of grains so one stop shopping isn't always the best option......

In!

Great article. There is one area where I have had a different experience, the amount of boil off. I brew both 5.5 gallon and 4 gallon size batches. I do these in the same brew pot and find I get a different boil off amount between the two. I boil for 75 minutes on both and on the 4 gallon...

Just ran accross this post. remilard, would you mind posting the hops schedule you used. I have been thinking of doing an APA with Magnum for a clean bitter and then dry hops with no other additions. Sems like a fairly simple malt bill say 5% 60L and some munich with this approach wouldl...

Looking for help from anyone but would really appreciate help from Kai. What if; I want a decoction character but want to simplify the process and don't want o extend any of the rest(s). I was thinking I could do my regular mash in my kettle and then after conversion is complete bring the...
