All gone, thanks.

I purchased some nano brewery equipment and it included over 100 cases of new 12 oz brown beer bottles. $6 a case and take as many as you'd like. Located in Madison, WI.

Just finished brewing this and hit all the numbers. I had to sub the East Kent for US Goldings. Thanks for the recipe. I hope mine looks like the photos above.

Great recipe. For the coffee/chocolate additions I used 2.5oz of cocoa at flame out. I stirred it around with my immersion chiller as it cooled. After the wort cooled down, I let things settle for 15-20 minutes. I hardly transferred cocao into the fermentor. Fermented at 66 for 3 days...

Founders just released a SMASH of the two call Mosaic Promise. It's good stuff. I love me some Mosaic hops.

I bought mine from Yakima Valley. They did not disappoint. I'd pour one and you could smell it as soon as you open the tap.

I really like this beer. I don't detect a distinct cat piss flavor in mine. Maybe you could describe it like that. This is my first time exploring all these hops. I use TG as a point of reference. It's been fun so far. We're having a BBQ today if you want to try it out. I'm at 444 N...

I really wanted the King Sue, but I was only able to get the Sosus this time around. However, I do currently have this pseudosue recipe on tap but with Mosaic hops so I was able to compare the hop flavors. Next up is a Golden Nugget clone.

Oh, I would think your water is fine as is. I listened to a podcast with one of the starsan founders and he said only extremely hard water could be a problem. Most tap water should be fine. My HCO3 levels are around 355 ppm. I use a lot of RO for brewing to get that number down then add back...

I wouldn't panic. From my understanding, all starsan is going to get cloudy eventually. If you want, make some starsan solution with distilled or RO water and replace the airlocks. Or use vodka. Even though my starsan wasn't effective, I made several good batches without infection. The...

Oh and I just finished off a star san bottle that had to be 4-5 years old. Worked great with distilled and killed off the infection problem I had. I wouldn't worry about that.

Ok cool. The new water source may be the culprit. You can do a google search and get a water report. The bicarbonate level of my tap water is around 355 which is really high. You could put star san in a clear glass and add some tap water. See if it gets cloudy. I wouldn't rule it out if...

Are you using tap water? There are already minerals in the extract, so you should be using distilled or reverse osmosis water. The minerals in your water, plus the minerals in the extract could be creating a crazy water profile that is messing with the malt flavor. Otherwise, consider getting...

The reason I'm guessing sanitation is because he said it started to happen post fermentation and got worse from there. Mine tasted great when sampling my gravity tests, but started going downhill after a couple weeks. It's like the infection couldn't take over until the yeast were done.

A month on the yeast should be fine. What sanitizer are you using? I had a chronic infection problem too. I finally figured out my tap water was way too hard for starsan, putting it outside the proper pH range to work. Using starsan with distilled water solved all my problems. It's a great...

Where'd you buy your citra from? Yakima is out. I'm brewing a similar beer this weekend but using Mosaic instead.

I'm sending PMs to exchange email addresses.

Yeah, I definitely got a strong mango flavor. I was not disappointed at all with Yakima valley. I did compare it to the last batch of Sue and there was some differences in the hop profile. Both were good, just different. I would say mine was fruitier. I messed up my sparge water, so the...

I'm not getting onion flavors with mine, but I'll admit I don't have the most accurate palate. I ordered my hops from yakima valley. Hopefully Adaman05 can get in on a tasting. When will your's be carbed?

If you Madison guys want to have a tasting I'd be all for it. I brewed up a version of this with 2-row and us-05 since that's what I had. I used the recipe wiscobrewer posted on 4/17. It's really good, but I'd love to hear your feedback.
