It's been in the bottle two weeks. Had to open one. Carbonated well but tastes "thin". Nice dark colour but it's not as creamy as I'd hoped. Hopefully a other two to four weeks in the bottle helps. Maybe something I did.

Mine finished up at 1.016 at around 70+ degrees. Bottle aging for a month. Can't wait. Hydro sample was amazing.

Thinking I might skip it, see how it turns out. Got some in there and will secondary with vanilla if it looks like I've reached FG. Will prob still turn out good

What was your FG? I don't have software yet so don't know what it should be. Measured mine after two weeks in primary and it's at 1.019 which seems high. I'm still getting airlock action tho so it could be fermenting I guess. But DAMN that sample is good! Just would've liked it to be little...

****. Serious bummer.oh well lesson learned. Less pumped about how this is gonna turn out now.

So maybe this? (I've ordered already but hops come in 1oz packets so....Maybe keep the hallertau since I will have it anyway, but up it to an ounce) I can grab some more hops at the local shop 8lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US . 5 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L . 5 lbs Munich 1 oz Centennial -...

Delicious style! Lol. Not really sure what I'm making. Haven't delved into style guides really. This was a Kona Big Wave clone from this forum that I made already once. I was amazing btw. I highly recommend it. I modded it a bit. I upped the grain and added more hops in different spots.i...

Also, forgot the damn cocoa so added about 6-8 semi sweet milk chocolate chips to primary after soaking in oz of vodka for an hour or two. Bad idea?

Made this two weeks ago. Is it weird that there is still air lock activity? It's slow but still going. Can't wait to drink this.

Made this and grabbed a 6 pack from Michigan when I was down there. It is very close and some people who had a side by side taste test like this better.

Hey all, I took the basic frame of a recipe, changed amounts of the grain to have more, changed the hops around completely. Looking for opinions (like if the hallertau addition is a waste, which I kind of suspect) Any refinements I should make? Kind of want to just make it and see what...

What's bready-er Victory or Biscuit?

Very helpful. Thank you very much. I'm going to adjust accordingly.

Funny, I just posted a recipe for an English under "does this recipe look tasty" a few posts up. I was looking for input on a English bitter recipe. Want to make a really good one.

This is why I ask! Not that experienced with this sort of thing. Fantastic. Thanks. Anyone else? Anything else I can add to add more body, maltyness etc? Will def move one hop addition.
