Right on.... Maybe it is more likely to be cloudy in kegs than bottles. I always tumble my bottles gently before opening to mix up any yeast and it still comes out clear. Maybe kegging is just the way to go

I hear ya there! I am from TN so whenever I go home for visits I am always missing it. I remember last time I went home though, I found an IPA called Caldera IPA that is distributed around the SE.... pretty dank :tank:

First of all, I am glad you got to try it. It is in my top 5 favorites that i've tried also ( i have tried over a hundred easily). And I think you may be onto something there.... i wish it tasted like that till the end of the keg

Maybe so but I have been drinking it religiously for a year now and have never noticed it look so creamy and impossible to see through. I am drinking one right now from bottle and I can see right through it

I love the mercenary as well! I wonder what makes the ipa so much more floral than the Myrcenary? I can also tell differences in one myrcenary from another. I am not as familiar with it though. The main reason I started this thread last night was because of my passion for odell ipa and my...

Right on.... I love mercenary too and I also feel like sometime the mercenary is excellent and sometimes its lacking a little. I wonder what makes this variance? I am much more familiar with the IPA though having drank god knows how many of them.

Odell IPA is easily my favorite beer on a day to day basis. I have noticed that sometimes it tastes sofa-king good and sometimes it just tastes good. I am always trying to come up with justifications on why the odell ipa at "this" bar doesn't taste as good as the same beer at "that" bar. With...

Hey Bob would you recommend dry hopping in primary or secondary carboy?

Hey your from Franklin.... me too. Went to FHS :rockin: It seems like 14.5 lbs is a lot of malt for the the hops you are using.... I guess I just like the hops to be more dominant than the malt

Different strokes for different folks.... pretty simple. How about this.... Why would one waste their precious time and effort updating their signature with what beer they have in queue, what beer they have fermenting and what beer they have kegging? Same thing different strokes for...

Thanks very much looks great. I will certainly report back my results!

:mug: *All-Grain, Partial-Mash, or Extract? All grain *If All-Grain, what is your estimated efficiency? This is my 3rd batch I am not sure *Boil time? In minutes. no preference *Will you rack to secondary? no preference *Hop Pellets or Leaf? pellet *What is your start boil volume in gallons? No...

Thanks guys. Is it a valid concern to be worried about foreign yeast getting in the batch when you brew outside? Pretty sure I am gonna get the 10 gal kettle with the valve on bottom:ban:

One thing that I don't like about getting a huge 15 gal is that it probably wouldn't fit on my gas burner in the kitchen. that means I would have to spend even more money on a banjo burner and then I would have to do it outside. And isn't it easier to get foreign yeast in the batch when you do...

Thank you for your input. The valve with the side pickup.... Is that a lot better than using a racking cane so suck the wort out of the kettle?
