  active and I ge...

  My wife and I, along with 6 others that we do crossfit with did the Dallas Mudder over the
  weekend too. It was pretty fun overall and the weather was perfect. My only complaint was
  having to wait so l...

  Look at your IBU calculator: 33-34 IBU's? That's not even in IPA range. Style range is about
  40-70 IBU's. When I saw your hop schedule, I thought it was for a 5 gallon batch. For a 10-12
  gallon, this ...

  Over the weekend, I had a few friends sample it and they felt like it was somewhat hoppy after

  of pressure to ...

  My biggest complaint about my homebrew is its inability to retain hop flavor/aroma. Almost all
  of my beers are APAs, IPAs, or ambers, and they all focus primarily on the hops. I know these

  Would the batch pick up off flavors if I let it sit a little longer on the trub in the
  carboy?Lots of folks routinely leave their beers in primary for a month+ before racking to a
  keg or bottling buck...

  I just realized you said you would put an airlock on it. If you prime while it has an airlock,
  you wouldn't be carbonating the beer as the CO2 would escape. Prime it or force carb it in the
  keg. You c...
