I take it SAFALE-50 was just a typo for SAFALE-05
Damn it Kevin, just when I think I know what I am going to brew next, you go and throw me a curve.
Sorry to brag, but when you enter a beer into three contests and she wins two golds and a silver...well...I'm going to brag just a bit.
Tits Up IIPA wins gold medal at the "2010 Great Northern Brew-Ha-Ha!"
Now I have to save off a couple of bottles since she qualified for the "Midwest Homebrewer of the Year".
Oh yeah baby...
This batch has been resting in the keg in my brew shop at 65 degrees for right at 2.5 months now.

I'm a fan of your creations and I have endeavored to emulate your successes, though I'm a little naive on the kegging stage. I have not started kegging yet, and want to know can I go from the secondary to bottles with the addition of some corn sugar and how much?
You note that your batch kegged for 2.5 months, was that gassed at all or did you just put the beer in and capped it?
I am excited as I can be and looking forward to popping some of these for my son's first birthday in april, but in the same breath, I don't want to put sugar into this beer and have them explode all over my closet/
I came in at 1079 on my OG and rotated to secondary for dry hopping on sked. I'm a week behind on getting it off the dry hop, so any advice would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance
Next brew on my sked, Outer Limits
...Thanks BM. This truly is a wonderful experience.
BM, do you mean malty sweetness? Shouldn't a Pliny clone be dry? Your crystal is about 4%, inline with Pliny. Is this sweetness just because it's such high grav?Big IIPA sweetness but equally strong bitterness.
Making this today and plan on kegging it and tapping the keg in 2.5 months for a party weekend here and when some friends come to visit.....man i already can't wait BM your recipies i have made have been awsome so far. ive made your outer limits, centennial blonde and summit pale ale.
Excellent.
You're making me thirsty for some of my own recipes.
why 4 weeks in primary? seems like quite a long time for this yeast.
1.092 in a month? I'd be curious to see how that turns out. Please keep us updated.
Biermuncher, if you're getting into hoppy IPAs then I would recommend buying your hops in bulk! I used to pay $2-$2.50/ounce, now I pay $12-$14 per lb. I usually hold back and get 3 or so lbs per order, or me and a buddy will get upwards of 10lbs in a group order. I use hopsdirect.com and have been happy with their packaging (foil and vacuum sealed) and shipping times. I'm not affiliated, but I like them. Cheers!
BM, is the corn sugar used in the actual mash or in the boil? Sorry if this is a stupid rookie question, my first thought was in the boil but you listed it with the rest of the grains for the mash so I just wanted some clarification.
