Oak, pineapple, cinnamon, and a slight vanilla finish. Mmmmm great beer. No carbonation yet in bottles... Hopefully will come soon... Next time I'll keg this. Is it possible i need to pop tops and add in yeast? I hit 11% abv... Been keeping it 70-75 f. How long till I can expect...

6 days now on the oak.... It's strong oak flavor that should fade in the coming months while aging.. The oak should nicely balance out the pineapple.... I can see that this beer is heading in the direction of a well balanced well blended ale that will make you scream AAAAARRRRRG I'll keep...

Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry for not being clear. My brix refractometor has gravity on the side what I was attempting to do was use the numbers from it from sg to fg put it in an online calculator that compensates for the alcohol and see if It was correct. I finally did do hydro...

Using a brix refractometor I started this at 1.097 and finished at 1044 putting it into the northern Brewer calculator it comes to being fg of 1.01 11% is this correct.... This is my first time trying to use the brix ref and converting instead of hydrometer Update took hydro sample came out to...

Can someone describe what this tastes like? When taking off the blow off tube the hops were very prominent. Just wondered what to expect as I don't believe anyone has commented other than to say it is good Thanks

Friend tried this this weekend pushed to 5.3 % or so and loved it.... My second batch is ready to be kegged... I pushed it to 6% and kicked up ibu s slightly.... Staple tastes great Thanks so much for the recipe

I leave mine in primary 3 weeks check the fg and taste a sample before it goes in the keg.... One in keg unless it is a wheat or light beer I let it sit to week 5 before throwing in fridge and carbing ( vast majority of my beers I age minimum 3-7 mo as I like big beers). More time at caller...

I did a 2 liter starter which I'm showing for online calculators as not being enough for 1.097 should I pitch in some us05also?

I accidentally added 1 extra lb of brown sugar .... Looks like this will clock in around 10.5 % Do you think it will still be good?

Made this beer on July 31. It has gone through a lot of flavor changes..... It had medicinal flavor a for a while... I've been drinking 1 per month... It is now starting to get good ... I believe give it another 3 mo and it will be great.... I'll be drinking this next fall

Did you ever finish?

The first batch I did was lighter than that ... I upped the grain bill and this batch is a little darker

478 +11gal cream of three crops =489

I'm in the middle of brewing this for the second time.... ( I upped the grain bill) this time the grains were a better crush pushing my efficiency higher.... I'm currently going to be at 6.1 abv Will 6% ruin the beer by giving it an alcohol flavor? I will be fermenting at low temps ... Or...

6 gal of Irish red =88 gal

Brew day came and went..... I had to make 2 substitutions... The only one that scares me is Simpsons DRC double roasted crystal for Caraaroma. The wort tasted and smelled really good ... More brown than red.... We shall see how it turns out.

I made this beer last year.... Upped abv to 7 using 1/2 pack of Ahb abv booster... Aged it about 3 months...... Result was deliciousness. My friends that like this style really liked this beer too.... This definitely has a place on my list.

I just got back home it is carbed up.... WOW..... Tastes much better....exactly like a light beer ... Perfect recipe to put on fruit, or flavor any way you would like.... I will definitely make this again

I brewed this up for my first all grain recipe..... Plan is to make a cream ale to have on tap year round....Transferring it to secondary I had a taste.... It tasted watered down like a real bud light / bush light. Is that what it should taste like? I was expecting a light beer but with much...

My LBS had me substitute Simpsons DRC double roasted crystal for Caraaroma. Should this turn out fine??? Thanks
