how long did you guys primary ferment and secondary ferment? I did this one earlier today and it is in the carboy at 68 degrees. Used WLP 051. OG was 1.062.

I brew'd this one 2 weeks ago, primary for a week and secondary for a week. I'm thinking of bottling after one week in dry hop. Is this wise? Its killing me not having one in hand right now. Also I sub'd 3 oz of warrior for magnum and cascade on the dry hop. My yeast was wyeast 1272 american ale 2. og 1.070 fg after prime 1.009. I also added 1/2 oz of wormwood and 1 lbs of corn sugar 15min of boil. Thoughts?

That would be 2 weeks in the primary one dry hopping? With as much sugar as you had in this waiting longer will make it better. I plan on racking to secondary after 9 days then dry hopping for 2 weeks then legging with forced carbonation. That is enjoying in about a month from brew day. Enjoy

I never dry hop for more than a week or ten days, so I'd rack off of the hops and bottle then.

I just transferred to secondary and tried the gravity sample. It's not even done yet and it's incredible. I can already tell this is going to be one of my best batches yet!

It's hard to believe that this recipe is so simple and tastes like Stone Ruination. It's one of my favorites.

My starter is made and I'll be brewing it tomorrow. Thanks Yooper.

I just bought a six pack of this from the store the other day and it may be my new favorite beer. My one question is though how do they carbonate it?? I mean its like a soda or something almost no head.

I made this today. I came out with about 4.75 gallons in the primary. There was a TON of hops and break material in the bottom of the kettle. I was pulling so much junk through as I was racking, I gave up.

I started off with 6.5 gallons pre-boil. I'll up it next time. I may have to start using my keggle.

Oh wow, just tried one after 4 days in the bottle. This is an awesome brew. VERY close to Ruination. Even though it's still green (and not just from the ridiculous amount of hop particles I was unable to filter out), it already has that same great malt/hop balance that ruination has.

Can't wait to start drinking this one once it finishes conditioning. Thanks Yooper!
