Thanks for the giveaway. Ryne Sandberg was always my favorite Cub.

Hi folks. Working on an extract black IPA recipe utilizing mostly Mosaic and Galaxy. Here's what I've got so far. Any feedback would be much appreciated. 5-gallon batch OG: 1.054, FG: 1.010, ABV: 5.73%, IBU: 63.64, SRM: 34.3 Fermentables 6 lb Light LME 1 lb light DME Steeping grains 0.5 lbs...

Yes.

Not so much a rich maple flavor, but some nice, subtle sweetness that balanced out the bitterness of the coffee.

I made a few tweaks. Moved the dry DME so it's no longer a late addition and moved the Warrior to 10 minutes to lower the IBUs. As for the Cascade dry hop, it's just so I don't have a half ounce of something lying around; might as well do something with it. Here's what I'm looking at now...

Sorry; that's supposed to say 1 lb Crystal 30. I fixed it.

Hey all. I'm beginning to develop a new IPA recipe. While I really like the fruity, juice bomb kind of stuff, I want to give a go at a something with some of that classic hop bite. Never used Chinook or Warrior before. What do you think? Still doing the extract thing for now. 60 minute boil...

So this one ended up really great, even though it ended up being a bit of a Frankenstein. Through an inventory mix up, I ended up with 3 pounds of extra light LME and three pounds of amber LME. Also, due to a kink thrown into the scheduling, the coffee beans were in the primary for 8 days...

I've been playing around with this one a little bit. I replaced the dark DME with Munich as suggested and in the steeping grains I went away from the American Black as i heard it can be a bit harsh and went with some Crystal 40 and roasted barley instead. I also played with the hop schedule...

Hi guys and gals. First shot at a porter recipe and of course I'm diving right into something complex. Would really value any thoughts or advice. Cheers! :mug: 60 minute boil. Fermentables 6 lb. Light LME 1 lb. Dark DME Steeping .5 American Chocolate .5 American Black Boil 1...

Hey folks. Trying my hand at a session IPA and was looking for feedback on the rough cut of my recipe. Any help is much appreciated! :mug: IBU: 59.6 Target OG: 1.040; Target FG: 1.008, ABV: 4.3 Fermentables 3 lbs Light LME 2 lbs Light DME Steeping grains .25 lbs Carapils .25...

Not at all.

Thanks everyone for your help on this. I cracked open the first bottle last night and it was terrific. Not all that bitter, but loads of tropical fruit flavor. I got mango and pineapple predominantly while the wife said she enjoyed some citrus notes.

Thanks for all the input. I usually don't use a secondary. Can you add cacao nibs to the primary?
