How much for just the keezer?

I brewed a blonde ale with hops schedule similar to this. Grain difference was less 2-row subbed with Vienna. Can’t wait!!!

Is this bad when the Krausen comes out of the blowoff tube and into the sanitizer? Do I need to replace the sanitizer? Maybe after the Krausen eases off?

Brewed 5.5 gal today. Turned out I had all the grains except for C20 (used Caravienna instead). Sure doesn't taste bitter after boiling/into fermenter. Hope it's a bit more hoppy after the dry hop. I intend to use both Cascade and Centennial and only dry-hop for 7 days.

+ 5 gal Summer Golden Ale (Kona Big Wave Golden Ale Clone) 6,605 gal total.

The end product. I did a side by side with the original and it is pretty damn close. Original is a bit crisper. Mine has a slightly different maltiness to it. A truly amazing beer though. This is definitely a summer regular in my tap rotation. Both photos are my recipe.

Mine turned out really good! Citra certainly has a bite to it. I also bought the original and will post a side by side comparison soon.

well no opinions so I'mma goin ahead to dry-hop today. I am hesitant to use 1.5-2 oz cause I want it to have the aroma, but just not be grassy, so I'm thinking of sticking to 1 oz to start, see how it smells, and add another 0.5-1 oz later if needed.

Been working away for 5 days now. Still lotsa Krausen. Should I wait till that drops off to start the dry-hop? Or just go ahead and add the citra into primary.

And at 48 hours the top blew off...

16 hours in and very little activity. Heading out for the night and will check back at bed time. Fingers crossed.... Edit 22 hours and we have liftoff! Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

OG was a bit low- 1.044. Using S-05 for yeast. Hoping the citra bitterness comes through after the sugars are gone. Looking forward to dry-hopping this and tasting if it’s done after two weeks.

Brewing this beer tonight. Subbed caravienne for the c-20. Just starting the boil. Also going all-citra cause I got no galaxy. Will report back once she’s in the keg.

I don’t have crystal 20. If I were to use crystal 40, how much should I use for a 6 gal batch (roughly). Was gonna go with .75 lbs

Brewed this three days ago with the batch sitting nicely in the fermenter now. Ended up a bit short on volume but hit OG right on at 1.052. Looking forward to two weeks from now when it’s done

Not really. This wasn't the grain bill in the end - that is later in the thread. I believe I omitted the Special B but my version is definitely missing something and I'd say it's in that nutty or biscuity area, so probably will add that next time after this keg is done (definitely gonna...

FG sample tastes a bit weak or thin. Definitely not the same "barley" flavour that the original has. But it's pretty early. Might crack a bomber of the original so I can compare. Force carbed my keg and am just letting it equalize so I can take a carbed sample. I am optimistic that after a...

Kegging this weekend!!!!! Then the initial taste test after a force carb. Thinking this is gonna be pretty good! Excited!
