I picked up a cheapo 1 gal kit that was on clearance in target, heating up my mash water now. Looking forward to trying 1 gallon test batches before I scale up to my 5 gallon system

how much coffee did you add at bottling? I will be re brewing this soon as an 8 gallon batch that i will split into 4 gals of regular curiex and 4 gallons of the James bean

Just a small update, a few weeks ago when I was up at my parents, we opened a bottle of the clone, which is almost three years old now, and a bottle of curieux, and it was almost spot on. I need to brew this again

Just stumbled upon this, really hoping to pick one up this year. This would be a nice step up from my biab propane setup. Trying to convince the wife this would be a good use of our tax return lol!

My texas independence pale also is starting to bubble and start to form the krausen

Clean up time, the texas independence pale ale wort tastes awesome! Pitch the greenbelt when its chilled some in the carboy

Im brewing the same thing, what yeast are you using with it? I have a starter of wyeast greenbelt going

I do full volume no sparge on my beers and my average beers hit 72% eff on average. I dont really play the efficiency game, but i might try a simple sparge next time to see what difference it makes.

Homework/studying

I saved the pic, that looks like a fun beer to brew!

Not with that kind of attitude!

First time, i read a ton, did a starter, controlled the ferm temps, did most of the extract at flame out. This wasnt morherly love either, one of the brewmasters from one of our bugger microbreweries down here said it was damn good.

No one is teabagging my beer!

I didnt realize the recipe section only had ipas. I wish it had more subforums for different styles, then i could brew more malt forward beers, but i cant since its only ipa recipes

Agreed! Brown is fine with me, my parents use one for cooking, amazing thermometers.

Thanks for the heads up!!! Ive wanted one for a while now

I took a year off last year. Life just got in the way, was renovating my house, still working on my engineering degree and very free time, and what free time i had i was exhausted. I was happy to be brewing last weekend. I have stuff to brew a good amount more and i was going to brew again this...

Thanks! Gf just texted me that the airlock blew, knew i should have done a blow off, the weihenstephan yeast goes crazy

Chilling a roggenbier right now. Feels damn good to brew after taking a year hiatus from it

completely agree. Its one of the things that helped improve my beer imo. I started with starters and good ferm temp control so the next thing i moved to was a big enough vessel to do a full boil. Plus with a 20 gallon pot, maybe he is ready for biab?
