    Commercial IPAs

    The IPA was my first love but it seems everyone and their mother brews them now and not many out there are worth mentioning. Sadly, the Fridays around here stopped carrying HopDevil and replaced it with Harpoon:( So I guess in my travels, here are some IPAs I am rather fond of: Stone IPA (both...

    Could a brutha get a virtual hug? Just put my cat down.

    :( Sorry to hear man. I've lost a few little fuzzy buddies in my time as well. It's very sad to see them go.

    What are you drinking now?

    Local liquor store is big on the craft brew scene and just got a shipment of the Abacus in today, I'm hoping to get another bottle to stick in the cellar. After filling a growler of the Double Jack I became an instant fan. I'll be sure to let you know how the Abacus is :mug:

    Cheap & Easy 10 Gallon Rubbermaid MLT Conversion

    The only stainless steel supply hose I was able to find was a 3/8ths x 1/2in FIP 12" hose. I want to make sure if this will work or not before I go ahead and cut it.

    Imperial IPA critique

    Wow, interesting, the idea of wort hopping didnt occur to me. If I understand the concept of FWH correctly, I'd be adding the 2oz of Chinook to the kettle before sparging but after the vorlauf? Also, your suggestion yielded an IBU of 152.7. That is rather hoppy indeed. I think its time to...

    Imperial IPA critique

    I originally had the FG at 1.020 however when I saved the recipe and went back I noticed it had changed slightly, the ABV went down slightly and the FG raised a little. I've been making minor changes here and there to try and get it back down. When I do this for real (not on paper) I had planned...

    Imperial IPA critique

    :drunk: Looks like I brain farted when doing my hop section. I couldn't decide on an aroma hop so apparently I just didn't put any in altogether. I removed the Northern Dryhop which i just tossed into the beer calculator while messing around with the recipe. I took you up on your suggestioin for...
