Did this with the same grain bill, but LBHS didn't have much citra. Subbed mosaic. Did away with the 30 minute hop add, upped flameout to 3 oz. Mosaic, .5 oz Apollo. Dry hopping with 2 oz. Mosaic.

Drinking the Apollo Citra IPA that I kegged on Monday.

Turned out pretty well. Happy with the grain bill. The 12L Swaenn works. Really happy with the yeast, too. Next time I think I will cut the 5 minute hops and bump the steep up. The bitterness is about right, but doesn't have the juicy pop I imagined. Perceiving more classic west coast citrus...

It's my favorite hop and my LBHS hasn't had it for quite awhile.

Yeah, shooting for an IPA. Was gonna get 10L crystal, but this is a Belgian 12L and it tasted really good raw. If I upped the steep, should I cut back at the 5 and 30 adds? The hoops listed are all I have.

I've never really come up with a recipe on my own... Just want some opinions on this before I try it, to see if I need to adjust hop schedule or anything. Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.50 gal Boil Size: 7.57 gal Boil Time: 60 min 13 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 92.9 % 1 lbs...

I may give this a go with some wlp0029. Anyone done this recipe with that yeast?

Mine came out nice with the WLP029 Kolsch yeast.... That yeast might replace Notty as my "go-to". Galaxy hops faded a bit, but it's still a nice beer.

Thanks. Bottled tonight - decided to do this batch still, didn't prime. The wife already wants me to make more after tasting from the bottling bucket. Might put the next one on tap.

I pitched K1-V116 yeast into my apfelwein on January 13, and it's down to 1.000, samples taste really good. I'd like to bottle this to free up a carboy, but there are still bubbles rising in the carboy and the airlock is still popped up. It's almost like it has carbed in the carboy, but I don't...

+5 gallons of Galaxy Wheat =1394.25

Dogfish Head World Wide Stout This one is boozy, but it's nice.

I've had a batch in the primary using K1-V116 for five weeks now. It's been bubbling away the whole time at 60 degrees. The gravity is measuring at about 1.01, and I'm still getting bubbles in the carboy. I'm not sure how much further this thing could possibly ferment. The samples are tasting...

Doing this with Galaxy instead of Cenennial and WLP029 tomorrow. 2nd all grain - had some water volume mishaps on my first AG that resulted in a gallon less into the fermenter. Hoping to smooth that out tomorrow.

Seeking bombers and/or swing tops in Southern IL or St. Louis area.
