I've found that the batch I brewed has "average" head retention, for what it's worth. I really like the beer, but found that it has a fairly narrow temperature range that it's great at. Fresh out of the 'fridge, I get almost no fruit zest flavor at all - mostly just some bitterness from the...

Bottled about a week ago, FG was 1.014 (so ~9%ABV). Snuck an early bottle tonight, I think it'll be great once the hops smooth out a bit, maybe 2-3 weeks. A picture of the pre-bottling hydro sample (cleared up a bit in the bottle):

Re-racked a couple days ago. The hydro sample was very tasty, but appears to have stalled out at around 1.035. I'm thinking I may pitch some 1272 if it hasn't budged today (I have a starter for a beer I'm brewing today anyway). Edit: re-checked the SG, down to 1.025 (2 days since I last...

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll roll with it and see where it ends up. I'll let you know how it came out in a few weeks (or when I snag a hydro sample). It smells delicious...

I started an extract version of this beer - used 3lb wheat dme and 5lb light dme. I "steeped" the vienna malt at 150-160F for 40 mins, which I think should work (though I might skip it next time). Unfortunately, I couldn't easily get ahold of citra, so I substituted in Centennial, figuring the...

I'm in too!

Thanks for the welcome, all! The Ruination clone I made was based Yooper's recipe. Mine came out a bit milder and darker than Ruination, but very good. It was also a bit stronger than Ruination, I think I accidentally added an extra pound of DME. For tonight, I'm doing the same recipe with...

[yesterday's attempt to introduce myself seems to have vanished into the aether, my apologies if I end up with a double-post] I've been poking around the forums here for a while, and figured it was about time to introduce myself. I'm a fairly new brewer, located near Lowell, MA. I'm an...

Thanks for the great extract version of this recipe. I made a batch of this a couple months ago, and it came out wonderfully. I used WLP001 (1L starter), and believe I added about 1lb too much DME during the boil (I blame the beer I was drinking at the time...), but it came out really nicely...

Hey all, I started brewing over this past summer and figured it was about time that I introduced myself. I've brewed a couple IPAs, some hefeweizens, a pumpkin ale, a sarsaparilla brown and Graff so far, with a Belgian golden strong going and plans to do an ESB and a Saison. I'm...

Sure, count me in.
