If you want, I could send you some TH IPAs. I have learned a lot from following your thread and I finally finished reading the water book! Applying to my IPAs and Pales and tweaking now. Your experiments have definitely helped and inspired me!

I'm also working on a Eureka! Clone if anyone has any ideas on that. It's a 4.1% Blonde Ale loaded w hop flavor. One of the most sessionable beers I've ever had. This is my first attempt all guess at Eureka! W/Citra 7lb 2row 1.5lb White Wheat .5oz Citra 60 2oz Citra Whirlpool Cal...

What does the citric acid contribute to the beer?

Following this. I have been trying to write up a TreeHouse-esque recipe myself. I would tend to agree the signature look feel and flavor of these beers is a combination of water profile malt bill and yeast. Anyone have an opinion on mash temp? Also I would say Julius is simcoe Amarillo and...

Thanks for the advice. Do you think cooking the fruit down does anything to prevent infection?

Thx for suggestions. I ended up using what I had which was Cascade and Centennial. I used .5oz of each in 5 gallons.

Not sure how his turned out but I made an apricot blonde ale and added a can of puree to primary after 3 days. Came out nice and tart and refreshing. Need to use blow off because once you add the fruit, the yeast basically think its woodstock all over again. I have rebrewed this beer...

I brewed a nice amber ale last year (American Amber but its got some German flare with Munich malt and Kolsch yeast)and modified the recipe this year. I like it already but should I dry hop and what hops should I use. The Bill. 75% 2-row 5% Roasted Barley 10% 80-L Caramel 10% Munich...

I was pretty sure my lack of sugars to start wasnt the key piece but the qty of water that dilluted the recipe was the key factor here. I just looked through my notes and realized there was more than one eff up that brew day. I collected too much water in the mash (8 gallons where I did 6 last...

The gravity was taken prior to adding the water

I just finished up a batch of beer BIAB my own recipe. This was my 2nd AG batch and first recipe I developed. On brew day I couldn't get 1lb of grain I wanted (8oz carapils 8oz 20L) but didn't think much of it since I haven't brewed since winter. Recipe is 11lbs 2-row 1lb 80L. Mash @ 152 60...

740 - that's what I get for keeping it in an unsecured location

Yeast Starter today. First all-grain brew tomorrow w my fiancé assisting for the first time. Making a beer she can drink as a compromise. Apricot Blonde coming up :)
