Active primary fermentation should produce enough CO2 to push all of the oxygen out of the headspace of a large bucket. It may become a concern if you're transferring to a secondary where there will be little activity and potentially not enough CO2 to purge the headspace. Some people are...

Wheat beer from a kit from the lhbs. Only 10 days in bottles so it could use a bit more time but its delicious right now!

So that's right in line with what I'm getting. Barely an IPA really.

5 gallon batch, 3 gallon boil. I had planned on adding most of the LME towards the end of the boil. I've never worked with LME before, only DME but I wanted to give it a try. So that will be new to me.

I wonder if I did something wrong in beersmith. A change of 50 IBUs seems like quite a lot, to much to just be different alpha acid ratings I'd guess. I went ahead and added in the alpha acid numbers I was using to arrive at 40.9 IBU in beersmith to the OP.

Hey everyone. I ordered the ingredients for my first original recipe the other night and everything should be here Monday. I'm wondering if maybe I want to tweak the hop schedule a little bit so I figured I'd run it by everyone here. 9.5# Pale LME .5# Crystal Malt 40L .5# CaraPils/Dextrine 1oz...

Green flash ipa. Good stuff, but they served me in a frozen glass... Waiting for it to warm up a bit.

My mistake, I misread the OP. I thought this was looking for a relatively small reduction in alcohol to bring a beer more into session territory.

Why not just reduce the grain bill?

I haven't had this one myself but I've heard nothing but good things. If its anything like the real Moose Drool it has to be great.

Your girlfriend needs to start hanging out with my girlfriend!

I was thinking the same thing when I heard its snowing out there. I'm planning on moving to Colorado next summer, I'll probably brew a chocolate/coffee stout on my first snow day which wont be for a while after.

I'm going to be watching this thread closely. I literally just came to start an almost identical thread. My knowledge of electrical work is limited to fixing broken switches on ceiling fans, toying around with various 12v stuff, building computers and such so I can't compare with what seems to...

This is an awesome project! Very inspiring.

This is almost exactly what I've been wanting to do! Your sketchup drawing might be exactly what I need to convince SWMBO that its a good idea! I know where to buy all the parts, but does anyone know where I might be able to buy some woodworking skills? lol
