My apologies for resurrection a 5+ year old thread, but wanted to say thank you for the inspiration. I had recently purchased a pound of Green Bullet hops and was trying to decide a good way to utilize them and found this thread. I brewed the beer yesterday and used the following hop schedule...

Any ETA on more stock for these? Thanks!

I made a Black Rye IPA earlier this year with the following grains and it was plenty dark enough and had a slight chocolate/roasty flavor to it. It was one of the best beers that I have ever made if my 17 years of brewing! 11# Pale 2.75# Rye 1# Chocolate Wheat 0.75# Crystal 60 Grain notes...

I agree with your assessment. I really like Simcoe and it can stand on it's own; I plan to brew a SMaSH with Maris Otter and Simcoe soon. As the Amarillo-Simcoe IPA has aged and mellowed, more and more apple - not green apple, more like apple juice - has become apparent, especially in the aroma...

My apologies for resurrecting a 3.5 year old thread, but I believe that this particular thread is very apropos to my situation and is one of the best I have found on the topic... After many, many years of brewing the "old school" way (3 tier, gravity fed, propane), I have decided to try...

Awesome. Looks like your hop additions are almost exactly what I was thinking the recipe needed to get the hop flavor where it needs to be! Please post back when you brew as I'd love to hear about the results. Take care.

Hey, thanks for asking and reminding me that I had this thread! I totally forgot about it... Overall, this beer turned out pretty good, but there is room for improvement. It smelled amazing going into the the fermenter and at dry hop time. Below are my thoughts on the recipe: MALT -- The...

What mini fridge will fit the Fermonster (7 gallon) with minimal modification to the fridge? Thanks!

The beer was brewed July 4th weekend and was only pictched with a pack of the Wyeast Roeselare Ale Blend. It has not yet been sampled, but the guys that help brew it will be in town next weekend and we plan to pull a sample for the first time then. We are looking forward to it. Here is a...

The pellicle has gone away, then nothing, and now there are a bunch of white spots on the surface. Hope that is okay. This beer has been quite interesting to watch over the past few months...

I always struggle most with the grain bill for an IPA as I can't decide what I really want and whether it should include Vienna, Munich, and/or Crystal (and what L). Many of my previous recipes use some combination of those in larger proportions, but they are starting to feel heavy/filling. I'd...

I'm burned out on my IPA recipes since they all use some combination of Columbus, Mosaic, Cascade and/or Centennial and would like to change it up with a really crisp and refreshing Amarillo+Simcoe IPA. Below is the recipe that I have been working on to brew this weekend. Any feedback would be...

Any thoughts on substituting something like 4 oz of Thomas Fawcett brown malt (I happen to have some leftover) for the 6 oz of amber malt in the original recipe?

Thanks. I appreciate it the information since this is my first sour rodeo. My plan was to have this ready for Christmas 2018! It will just sit in the basement doing it's thing until then. All I need to do is remember to check on the air lock every once in awhile. If I have some good sours in...
