Agree with permo, back off the crystal. I just did an IPA with 7 lbs of DME and 1 lbs Dextrose, OG was 1.076 I believe. It had a noticeable malt backbone, which I prefer. So, I would say you might want to back off a bit if you prefer a little less.
Thanks for all the replies.
1. I checked the burner for blockage. It was pretty clean considering the storage time.
2. I hooked it back up to the tank, opened the tank valve first and then the burner valve... that's when I heard, dun dun dun ... a leak.
After the burner valve there is a...
I started the night off super excited and now I'm just bummed.
I finally fired up my turkey fryer propane burner after sitting in storage for two years and it just isn't firing off like it should. I remember this thing sounding like a freakin jet engine, but the flame is only to be described...
I thought the same thing. A buddy of mine brings over Shipyard IPA almost every time he comes over. Maybe it's because he knows he'll have the sixer to himself!
After looking at the ingredient list, I would say IBA maybe.
Chinook and Willamette
Crystal and a little chocolate malt
Extra light DME
American ale yeast
yes, making sense here, thank you Yooper. Multiple parameters make the style.
IBU, SRM, ABV
Hops
Yeast
Grains
Malts
Additives
Can you recommend any resources for deciphering the ingredient list into a beer style defined? (instead of starting a new thread):o
Question concerning style guidelines.
Can you categorize a beer based only on the SRM, IBU, and ABV? Tasting the flavor profile would be a huge part of defining the beer, right?
20 SRM
75 IBU
6.4% ABV
I buy from Rebel Brewer. He has Crisp Dark Crystal Malt listed as "Avg Lovibond: 75". Not sure what difference 10-15 lovibond makes, I'm still learning these things.
Any ideas on a style this may fall into? I would say brown ale, but I am guessing it will be a less sweet and more bitter.
Any feedback is appreciated. Looking to make a spin off of Turbo Dog .... Brown Ale with a little more Hop character. Calling it Good Ole' Dog

Two buddies were interested in seeing the process of home brewing. I always welcome the company, so I invited them over to see how it works and to help out. Well, neither guy came on brew night. Next time over to the house, both commented on the beer fermenting away in the carboy. I offered for...
