Brewed this Centennial Blonde on Sunday: Did the 11G AG version. Sparged to 12.7G & boiled down to 11G after 60 min. We lost about a 1/2G to a tubing fail during chilling so we only ended up with about 9.5G split between two carboys (I assume the rest was absorbed by the hops). We ended up...

I planted some cascades, goldings & nugget about a month ago. The weather has been a little wicked up until lately in Seattle (no ground freeze) so hopefully nothings wrong. Currently two shoots of cascades are coming up. I have an article from BYO Magazine that says to trim back the first few...

Had a great brew day with my buddy on Saturday, but the results of our labors were less than optimal IMHO. :mad: This is the second time we've brewed the same recipe, just to see if we could improve or change it somehow. It's a Sierra Nevada clone: *** Ingredients: • 8 oz. caramel...

I just brewed this on Monday (6/18) & got an OG of 1.072. It's got crazy, crazy activity going right now in my 6.5 Gallon carboy. It plugged up my airlock with foam & beer so I had to install a blow off tube. I will report back with a reading when I go to Secondary. This is my first dark beer...
