Add in the gas it takes for me to drive south 25 minutes (IF traffic is good) and I'm paying a bit more. But I like being able to shoot the poop with the folks at the store. Pretty excited about this recipe.

What do you guys think about throwing in 1/2oz whole cascade into the primary after fermentation is complete and dry hopping for a week before racking to a keg?

My Edwort's Haus Pale is ready... just looking for the go/no-go.

If you want more hoppiness, then by all means.

Looks like I'll be doing this again tomorrow. My hops are 8.7 IBU.

So, for more bitter, I add more towards the start of the boil. to add more aroma (and somehow more bitter because taste is mostly smell) I add towards the end.

when should I add the hops for a hoppier beer while still using the two ounces of good green stuff I have?

Ed, sorry to bother you but do you always batch sparge this? tomorrow I want to fly sparge it, 10 gallon batch (12.5 to 13 in keggle).

Is this ok?

* Heat 1.25 quarts of water per pound (21lbs) of grain to 170 degrees.
* Add hot water to mash vessel along with your thermometer.
* Mix in crushed grains when water temperature reaches 168°F. Stir until no large, dry clumps remain.
* Check temperature after about 5 minutes. Ideal temperature is 154°F. Adjust temperature if cooler than 145°F or warmer than 158°F.
* Cover mash and leave undisturbed for one hour.
* Fill to top of 10gal rubbermail 180 degree mashout, stir and let rest 10 minutes.
* Vorluof (excuse spelling)
* Heat sparge water to about 180 degrees F.
* sparge at 1 quart per 90 seconds.
* Collect 12.5 gallons of wort in your brew kettle.

Does this sound right? Can anyone check my numbers or suggest anything that will help improve my first AG, and first 10Gal batch?

Thanks
