Thanks for the input. I was dreaming of this beer last night after I got it in the fermentor. I It was bubbling this morning my the time I woke up!

I'm trying to figure out if this would qualify as more of an American IPA, or an English IPA. If you ask me, it comes close to meeting the standards for both, but I get an American feel from it? What do you guys thing?

American hops, clean fermenting yeast, so American IPA.

So I brewed this up on Monday. The whole process went smooth, just a couple questions to make sure the beer is on track.

I used a strainer the try to get out all of the hops that I could, but it was too course and lots got through. So now I have about 1/2-3/4" of hops floating on top of the beer in my carboy....is this ok? There is still a lot of activity throughout the actual beer just not on top.

And second, the air lock is maybe bubbling 4-5 times a minute, is this ok? I am fermenting a stout right now and within 14 hours, I had to but on a blow off. I'm just wondering if the hops are keeping it from foaming up and fermenting properly.

Thanks to everybody who has answered some of my many questions along the way, it is really appreciated.

Yes, that's all okay.

I dry hopped mine in the secondary and I had bits floating all over the place. Should you get one in a bottle at bottling time, its good luck. Like a bay leaf.

Just tapped another batch of my AG Amarillo IPA tonight. This stuff's like crack. I can't stop drinking it. Makes me wonder why commercial brewers haven't picked up more on Amarillo...

Yep, it's a beautiful thing. I'm gonna have to brew a third batch here pretty soon.

Your stupid beer is screwing up my damned pipeline. I usually can count on a 5 gallon batch lasting me 3 weeks while my other brews condition. I'm pounding through this last batch so quickly, I'm going to have to start paying for commercial brews soon while I wait for my next Wit to finish.

Where's TheJadedDog... it's his stupid beer.

I had the same issue with my first batch. It was gone in no time.
