I picked up a cheapo 1 gal kit that was on clearance in target, heating up my mash water now. Looking forward to trying 1 gallon test batches before I scale up to my 5 gallon system

how much coffee did you add at bottling? I will be re brewing this soon as an 8 gallon batch that i will split into 4 gals of regular curiex and 4 gallons of the James bean

Just a small update, a few weeks ago when I was up at my parents, we opened a bottle of the clone, which is almost three years old now, and a bottle of curieux, and it was almost spot on. I need to brew this again

Just stumbled upon this, really hoping to pick one up this year. This would be a nice step up from my biab propane setup. Trying to convince the wife this would be a good use of our tax return lol!

My texas independence pale also is starting to bubble and start to form the krausen

Clean up time, the texas independence pale ale wort tastes awesome! Pitch the greenbelt when its chilled some in the carboy

Im brewing the same thing, what yeast are you using with it? I have a starter of wyeast greenbelt going

I do full volume no sparge on my beers and my average beers hit 72% eff on average. I dont really play the efficiency game, but i might try a simple sparge next time to see what difference it makes.

Homework/studying

I saved the pic, that looks like a fun beer to brew!

Not with that kind of attitude!

First time, i read a ton, did a starter, controlled the ferm temps, did most of the extract at flame out. This wasnt morherly love either, one of the brewmasters from one of our bugger microbreweries down here said it was damn good.

No one is teabagging my beer!

I didnt realize the recipe section only had ipas. I wish it had more subforums for different styles, then i could brew more malt forward beers, but i cant since its only ipa recipes

Agreed! Brown is fine with me, my parents use one for cooking, amazing thermometers.
