I brewed this again and skipped the First Wort Hop addition to decrease the bitterness that lingered in my first batch. I also replaced the 006 with 002 since my HBS was out of 006. This version came out pretty clean but still has a residual bitterness I want to get rid of. I'm gonna go to a 5...

I whirlpool and let set for about 20 min before i cool with my CFC. My beer ended up finishing at 1.010 using the 006 yeast. I forgot about the 5 min addition of Hops, so maybe I'll just go with that plus the flame out addition and see how it goes. I would also like to add, that mine was very...

I brewed this beer about 2 months ago. Brewed an all grain version and hit all the numbers almost perfectly. The hop aroma was fantastic but had a very bitter aftertaste that lingered. Most SIPA's ive had weren't nearly as bitter on the back end. I'm thinking about trying this again (love the...

I could really use the 15gal BK. Good luck all.

Count me in! :mug:

I just brewed this recipe last Sunday. I did the 6 gallon recipe and plugged my system into Beer Smith. I mashed for 20 min at 157, sparged completely then fly sparged with the remaining water until I hit 8.45 gallons. After a 90 min boil I ended up with 1.050 OG. Looking forward to this one as...

What about throughout the brew day. I calibrate mine before each reading, I noticed as my brewery heats up from the boiling wort my refractometer gets out of calibration. Do any of you do this too?

I was looking for one I remember seeing a couple years ago and can't seem to find it online. With all the websites about hops you would think some of them would have a growing zone associated.

Hey Zero, I live in SD as well ( east county) one thing to consider is our microclimates. When I lived in la Mesa my cascades and magnum did great. However I moved to lakeside and the heat was too much for them, I blame it on my planting area but regardless you would want to make sure you get a...

No need to ferment any longer, just transfer to your keg and carb it up with co2. Should be drinking it in a few days if you force carb

Entered! Thanks:mug:

When I made this I put exactly 6 gallons in my 6.5 gal carboy. I had to use a blow-off tube for sure, my yeast starter went nuts within 6 hours. The beer taste wonderful and the hop heads who have tried it love it.:mug:

This was my first BiG Hop IPA and is phenomenal. The smell is awesome and the taste is wonderful. FG ended up at 1.013 and even with the alcohol content there's no alcohol burn at all, very good recipe Beermuncher

Ran out of this 2 weeks ago, Brewing it again tomorrow. I added half ounce of Cascade hops during the 60 min boil just for a little more bitterness, this was a great stout and really didn't last long in the keg, maybe a month. Thanks for a great Recipe Yoop.

Wow, Nice prizes. Count me in!

Welcome to HBT, I'm in San Diego. If you're down this way hit me up.

Thanks for the advice Warex, although this project is long done I have a new brew space and am contemplating a new brew rig. Just designing the space layout to figure out placement. :mug:

I grew Cascade, Magnum, Willamet and Brewers Gold last year in pots and all did very well. The Magnums actually produced almost a LB (wet) of hops the first year. The Willamet produced a couple cones and everything else just grew very nicely. I am planning on puting them all in the ground this...

"My red Solo Cup, I fill you up" :mug:

Hey Yooper, How you been? Was just looking for a new Stout recipe and found yours here. I am thinking about brewing this one up soon to be ready for February/March before it gets too hot outside. Wonder how this would turn out with some Bourbon Oak Chips added, hmmmm. Anyway it looks...
