So far, so good. Tasted it and its fine today. I think I may weather this. Thanks for the therapy fellas!

Thanks for the help fellas. I will let it go and see if I get lucky.

So, in the heat of fending off my little daughters and trying to get my beer transferred to the secondary, I rinsed the carboy secondary, but forgot to sanitize it! What are my chances of losing this batch? Its pretty high alcohol (ruination all grain clone), but I am worried that I just...

Just finished a batch of Ed Wort's Stone IPA. I didnt have time to do a full 90 minute boil, but the gravity was close and another AG under my belt. This is the first batch I have racked onto a yeast cake. I made a Ruination IPA last weekend and moved it to the secondary to get at the yeast...

How did that beer turn out for you? I stopped brewing this summer because of time constraints and hop prices. Now that hops are coming in lower, I am going to start brewing again. Greg

Yeah, I know. Time is short around here with three kids and training for a century ride.

I have about 6 AG batches under my belt now, and I still mess up something :) I like the beer I make, but sometimes my lower efficiency means I just add another pound or so of grains to the mash. With the exception of a few low gravities, I have been pretty happy. If I can just figure out how...

Hey Bier, Thanks for the recipe and the ingredient help. I have it now sitting nicely in my fermenter. It blew out the top a bit, but not enough to blow the bubbler off :) I am darned thankful for rice hulls. Those things kept the sparge drain going despite the thick arse mash. Cant wait...

I really REALLY like beers like Mojo IPA and Avery IPA, but I have problems finding recipes for big hoppy IPAs that are nice and golden colored. I looked around for a clone recipe for either of these two types of beer, but I havent had any luck. Are you guys brewing IPAs that are a light...

I found the DFH 60 to be grapefruity and the Titan to be a standard IPA. Are you guys thinking the same thing?

Sheesh, three months and nothin? Anyone have any idea about a recipe for this? I just drained my last bottle tonight! :) Greg

I too have stumbled around my house late in the evening after having drank too many of Ed's Stone IPA recipe. My wife still asks why I cried when cracking the last one :)

I use gelatin from time to time to clear my beer. I have pretty much given up on it though. Its too tough to siphon around all the gelatin globs when I move it from the secondary to the bottling bucket. I just give it a few extra weeks in the secondary now and that works fine. Greg

So, what amounts of water and DME do you guys use to make a typical starter? Most of my beers are in excess of 1.060, and I generally use two cups of water and one cup of DME.

I really like this beer, but couldnt find a clone. The site says it uses Pale Malt, Crystal 20 and wheat malt. The hops are Amarillo and cenntenial. I havent emailed the brewer yet, but any help would be appreciated. Greg
