I tasted it today with the yeast going off and I gotta say it tastes a lot like Knuckle Sandwich. Very sweet at the moment but the yeast has a lot more work to go. I cant wait to dry hop this and get it a little further! This is my first attempt at brewing with out a set recipe from a kit. Im stoked so far. It could blow up on my face though still hehe.

This had an O.G. of 10.71 now at 10.15. It is tasting pretty good, though right now it is tasting a lot like Green Flash's West Coast IPA. Also I can tell it's going to take a lot of time for this to clear up. I used 2 packets of US-05, no starter, and no rehydrate. I want to try to do Yoopers lakefront recipe after this maybe!

Well at this point all I taste is Alcohol . It pretty much sucks at the moment. Wondering if I should cut my losses and dump it? It seem I lost the body of it. And I taste hardly no Hoppiness in it at all right now. Does anyone have any advise for me? This thread hasn't really had much in the way of advise from any seasoned people here.... Nows the time to come out and tell me my recipe sucked..... Anyone? Ya, I know I'm gonna hear it about the cyrstal malt amount :P I think Ill just try Yoopers lake front recipe. I wish I coulda gotten some input from her on this mess :P

It's been said many times, but not to often heeded. Patience pays off. After keging and carbonating the beer it tastes pretty darn good! There are some good lessons I learnt and I will tweak this recipe but all in all its pretty good! I will change the hop schedule having learned how to time it to get more of what I was looking for and the grain bill will get a lil work over such as lowering the crystal and dextrose. Not what I was going for but A good IPA none the less.
