I kind of forgot about this thread. For you guts that brewed it, how did it turn out?

I brewed up a pale ale, that looks like the fermentation has stalled a little. The original gravity was 1.060 and the final gravity should be around 1.010-1.015. I am using pacman yeast with an estimated aa at 80%. once fermentation started i moved the carboy to my basement. We had a cold...

Hop prices are very good. I recently picked up cascade centennial chrystal and amarilllo. Great for some ipas i have in mind.

I am located in upstate NY, so I use north country malt supply for the majority of my malt and hop requirements: 2 row is $35.89 (55 lb sack) Shipping $16.70 Total $52.59 Price per pound = $0.96

How many days in advance do people make their yeast starter from harvested yeast?

I am going to brew up an IPA tomorrow. Originally I was going to use White Labs California WLP001 yeast. I harvested some Pacman yeast, so now I am thinking about using that for my IPA instead. Here are the particulars: OG: 1.067 IBU's 66.8 SRM 10.4 With the pacman the final gravity...

I didnt think about milling it again. I do own a barley crusher. For some reason, their crush seems to have a LOT of flour to it. I dont think I ever get that much. Maybe because it was crushed then shipped.

I ordered a sack of grain, and the malt supplier accidentally crushed it. Generally I get 73% efficiency when I crush the grains. On the last two batches that I have brewed with the crushed grains that I recieved, and got 64% efficiency. I am brewing up an IPA tomorrow, and am...

I have a siimilar problem. There are two homebrew shops within 20 miles of me. One has limited supply, only mainstream stuff, and charges 33% or more than what I can buy it for online. The owner is good, but it is geared for more of the start up brewer. They don't stock much stuff so they...

I use a vigorous boil and know that i boil off 20%.

I found out that it was by Captain Lawrence Brewing. Their Captains reserve, which i actually an Imperial IPA. Their website: Captain Lawrence Brewing Company When I started the post, I didnt know which brewery made the beer. Now I see that they list the hops as Columbus, Cascade, and...

Thanks for everyone's help. Here is a potential recipe. This is made with all items that I currently have on hand. Do you think it will give me the grapefruit flavor and aroma that I am looking for? Also, I am looking for an orange hue, so that is why the Crystal 40 is in there. Recipe...

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking amarillo is the high grapefruit hop. Now, I just have to find a great amarillo ipa recipe. Any suggestions?

Last night I had a growler of IPA from a somewhat local brewery that had a very pronounced grapefruit taste. It was an awesome balance between high hops and malty base. I would say that it was somewhat similar to Rogue's Yellow Snow, but with more grapefruit taste. Can anyone identify the...

Thanks for everyone's help. It seems that people are not concern with letting it sit for a day prior to hitting it with the higher pressure.

Thanks Yooper. I was figuring on putting it on the gas to move it along. Normally I set it at the serving pressure and let it sit for two weeks. Thanks

I am in somewhat of a rush to produce a beer for next week. I brewed a batch five weeks ago. 3 weeks in primary, one week in secondary, and then i put the secondary in the fridge for a week. I just racked to the keg. I hit it with co2 to fill the airspace, and then turned off the gas. I...

So I am going to a buddy of mine's 40th birthday party next week. I was going to be supplying a keg of a great red ale that I made several months ago for consumption. Got home last night and found it all over the basement floor. The picnic tap must have become opened between the keg and door...

Thanks for the recipe suggestion. I put it in beersmith and it comes up with only about 40 ibu's. I would probably add a little more to get it up to 60 or so.

Thanks for your help Craig. That was supposed to be American Ale 1056 yeast. Thanks for the catch. Otherwise, the taste should be good?
