Went to the Czech republic for a couple days too :)

Pilsner Urquell! Been a crazy week so far but I thought I'd share these pics. Poured right off the barrel... The old fashioned way. It doesn't get much fresher than this. It was unfiltered, more aromatic and simply better.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Lots to think about! :) I wasn't about to go looking for American style beers but I did want to mention my taste in case that helped in guiding me in the right direction :)

I'm getting excited about the trip the more I read :) My "home base" will be in Stuttgart but we plan on making our way to Prague, Plzn (Pilsner Urquell brewery), Heidelberg, etc... Here is what our tour guide (my father in law) sent me for a rough intinerary (this is a trip my wife bought me...

Pliny has a lot of Columbus in boil and dry hop. It's one of the best DIPAs on the planet. I love Columbus personally. Even in dry hop.

Hey guys! I'm headed to Germany for two weeks. I'll be all around the country. What are some must try beers? Considering I'm a west coast IPA kinda guy, is there anything in that range? Thanks!

I'm also curious. Anyone out there experiment with hop extracts ala Pliny?

Or just type in 5.25 into our spread sheet :)

Yup. Keep that crystal to 5-7% of the grist if you want those hops to shine. I don't mind the carapils addition when the crystal is low.

nice! thanks!

I've seen a few clones out there by they are completely different from each other. Anyone have a good recipe for this excellent ipa??

Maybe he thinks crystal is a base malt. Haha

Had this over the weekend. It's in my top 2-3 for triple IPAs. It's ridiculously good and smells of raw hops. Seriously, it's like holding a bag of raw hops and taking a whiff. Stupid good.

High levels of myrcene from your hops can do it.

I haven't read the whole thread but eating "very healthy" is a matter of debate. What the govt has told us is a "healthy diet" is a bunch of hogwash and misinformation. You COULD be eating very poorly but still be in FDA guidelines. Fact.

I'm finding I get this taste on beer hopped with Centennial (just one hop I tend to use a lot with highish levels or myrcene). IME, it's high myrcene levels which can add just a touch of metallic flavor. This flavor tends to fade a bit as the ale mellows but also, while noticeable in the first...

Should produce a nice dry IPA. Go for it!

That... Is an awesome score!

I just do the double because I only have a 10 gallon mash tun and need further runnings to get my preboil volume :)

I look forward to it!
