I'm also brewing 5gal batches.

One cost problem with this beer in particular is the hops - Warrior, Simcoe and Amarillo are all proprietary strains, and the latter 2 in particular are rather scarce in bulk at the moment and very expensive by the ounce. Without the hops this recipe would only run me $7 or $8 for the grain and yeast, but add in the hops and I'm looking closer to $30.

Brewing wxtract has its positives. Cheaper equipment, more calculated, less room for error. With all grain the bill for grain is cheaper however equipment is a big investment and the possibility of an oops is higher. Oops dont always end well at my house. If my gf hears oops she has learned to duck and cover.

Either way this will be my 5th extract batch I got over the cost pretty quick I'm sure most people do.Having a newborn in the house is kind of holding back from going AG.I know I would have to walk away for something then a Holy #!*& moment would happen.
FYI:
BEER WARS GREAT MOVIE

Brewed this last night. Slightly different hops schedule and a couple less lb's of 2row, but threw it on a Notty cake and it's bubblin' away happy this morning. Excited to try it.

Anyone have advice on what the optimum timing is for this beer? I want to have it mature nicely, but not overshoot that juicy early hop phase.
I'll be kegging it most likely.

I just brewed this a week ago with 1187 Ringwood yeast and I started fermentation at 63 F for the first 4 days, but the temperature here in Utah has dropped and my ferm fridge in the garage got down to about 53f and now it is sitting in there at about 56F. I don't have a heater in there. Will this temp drop affect this beer? Should I try to warm it up or just leave it alone?

I brewed this beer on Saturday night and realized I forgot to take a gravity ready (I know amateur move) well it's Tuesday and it's STILL going, fermenting like crazy.My 6.5 gallon glass carboy is foaming out of the airlock so obviously the yeast is doing a great job.My question would be, when would be a good time to rack to secondary to dry hop? I have no O.G to go by two weeks my be three..?
