I brewed this a little over a week ago and so far it tastes really good! Thanks for the recipe. I brewed your pale ale last summer and it came out horribly...Maybe b/c I have no air conditioning in my house and I brewed it in July during record heat. I think the temp got to around 80 F +/-. Tasted like a rubber band. I've since built a cooling system (son of fermentation chiller) and my beers have been turning out really good so I figured I'd try another one of your recipes. I knew that all these people liked your recipes for a reason! Its gonna be even better after dry hopping!
I'm doing an all cascade version of this except I have crystal 80 on hand but not any 60. Should I change the mash temp to compensate?
I was thinking about mashing around 151 and bumping the ibu's about 10 points.
EDIT:Think I should reduce the amount of crystal in general? I'm inclined to just go w/ my gut and mash a little lower, never hurts to bump the IBUs either

I made this a month ago (05/17) and only added the dry hops 3 days ago. Sealed the keg with 40#'s of co2 in the keezer at 29F. Had to have a taste today. I'm not big on IPA's (yet) but this is absolutely delicious. I can't wait to try EdWort's Kolsch I have which is ready to keg and tomorrow I'm brewing EdWort's Oktoberfest Ale to throw on the Kolsch yeast cake. Once again, thank you EdWort for another great recipe!
Oh yeah, thanks to the Brewmasters Warehouse crush, I ended up with an OG of 1.073 making this one about 7% ABV!
Just tasted my first bottle and I have to say this is the best brew I've ever made. The brew is not overly sweet and has a nice balance. Edwort your recipes always seem so simple but turn out so good!
Just Brewed this in mini-mash form. Sounds delicious when you read it. Smells delicious when you brew it. And I know it will taste delicious when i drink it. Props!
Can this be ready in 4 weeks? Or no way? Kegged..........
Not really. These days I ferment 10 days to two weeks. Dry hop another 10 days, then on gas for 1 week to carb and it keeps getting better till about 8 weeks.
Yep, it's about 8 weeks before I drink a batch of a beer these days and the patience is worth it.
You could rush things into 4 weeks, but you would have green beer IMHO.
