your right the secondary is just for clearing and highly recomended.

thanks guys, it is still in the secondary...i hope that it is as good as it smells. I bought some IPA this week and they smell just alike. I love the hoppy flavor of an ipa i just hope that mine is that good. Cheers

ok, i hate admit this but i think that i screwed up!!!!!!!!!!!!! first not knowing it was bad i squeezed the gain bag...then i had to cut off my boiling about 10 minutes early cause i got called into work...it took about 30 minutes or so to cool because i could not change out of the ice in the...

My long fermentation has finaly reached it FG after 10 days. Should i now let it sit for a day or two to keep the exta settlement out of the secondary, or should i just let it settle out in the secondary? :tank:

Man i am glad that i am not the only one...i think that you posted on my blog, mine has stopped bubbling now after 10 days but i keep pushing the top down on the bucket and it keeps building pressure. I checked the gavity today and it is where it needs to be, but i am going to let it settle for...

I don't know, but i will be watching. I want to get into the larger world myself...GOOD LUCK!

It has been 10 days now and the bubbling is nonexistent, but it does keep pressure in the bucket. I was going to move it to the secondary today and when i check the SG it was where it was supposed to be (1.012) from (1.060). My question now would be. As I looked at it closely, it has not settled...

Thanks guys, it is definately slowing down to a minimal rumble so I am going to watch it closely the next few days.

I personally love SweetWater BLUE out of ATL. I currently have and IPA American I from AHS going now and I purchased the Blueberry extract to go in before bottling. I am also curious to how it is going to turn out, but i'll keep ya'll up to date ont it.

I just ordered an American IPA from AHB and your recipe is about the same minus the dry hopping. Like you i love the hop thing but i would think that with all of the three different hops added during the boil, the dry hop is unnecessary. although from what i understand about the dry hopping it...

thanks guys, teh Sweetwater BLUE does not have any blue tint, that's why i didn't think that it used whole fruit. Thanks for the info...i let you know. Cheers

I am new to the home brewing world and I am already extremely hooked. I am now tasting the fruit of my labors on a Red Ale that is EXTREMELY GOOD!!!! I now want to step it up and do a beer that is like the Sweetwater BLUE. This is a very pale ale with a blueberry extract. I have found several...
