Yes, several times. In fact, I'm brewing it again this weekend with honey. Added 1 cup of wildflower honey with 15 mins to go in the boil. Not really sure what it added, but I liked the batch I made with honey better than w/o. Of course, there are like 999 other things I could have done...

For anyone who has used this, did it require a blowoff? Planning to make an IPA that has some table sugar added, so I'm worried it'll blow the top off of my bucket if I get the attenuation folks seem to be advertising. Normally I can't get any of my beers down below 1.016 or so....

Curious on the water treatment here. Are you starting with tap water and then adjusting from there? I was checking out Brun Water and I couldn't seem to get my own tap water (I've got the report) to match. That and Brun Water was telling me that chloride to sulfate ratio was forcing the...

I think partial mash would look something like this: 4 lbs light DME 1 lb wheat DME 4.5 lbs 2-row .25 lbs Crystal 40 .25 lbs rye malt 1 oz Northern Brewer (60 min) .5 oz Citra (15 mins) .5 oz Citra (2 mins) 1.5 oz Citra (flameout) 1.5 oz Citra (dry hop) 1 oz Galaxy (dry hop) It's just...

I feel like there is some rye in there too, but how much, I haven't a clue. A pound of crystal seems like a lot, but I'd just adjust to make it 2% of the grist. If you're looking to convert to extract or partial mash, use light DME to get you to your necessary gravity. You can include wheat...

Has anyone had luck with extract and partial boils on this beer? My partial boil beers always end up really sweet. I'm not sure if its extract I'm tasting, but they never seem full bodied (and/or like the original I'm cloning) regardless of my fermentation temps.

Warrior, Amarillo, and Simcoe are the hops used in DFH 60 min IPA. I love the balance there and figured that'd be cool to try in a maltier beer. Thanks for the help though. Looking into getting a bigger pot (my largest is only 5 gallons) so I can brew this ASAP.

Yeah, I know. I had a boil-over with my pumpkin ale a few weeks ago. Took me a solid hour to clean it up, not to mention I lost a full gallon of beer and my OG took a nosedive. I usually keep a spray bottle w/ clean water on hand to hit the foam when it starts boiling. Although that involves...

Thanks for the tip. I just realized that my largest stockpot is only 5 gallons anyways. Means I'll be cutting it darn close when I add 5lbs of DME....

I'm sure this is in here somewhere, but I can't find it. I want to do a full boil via partial mash for a 5 gallon batch. I only have 6.25lbs of grain, so I'd have about 2.5 gallons of strike water. If I only sparge with 2 gallons, can you just top off with an extra 1.5 gallons of water before...

Going to have to try this one. Not much space in my apartment, so I'll be doing this partial mash. The Mosher book says something like 6 or 6.5 lbs of DME...that can't be right can it? I was thinking about doing 5lbs for the 5 gallon batch instead. Also thinking about doing Warrior...
