well now we need tasting notes on both batches.
I did a side by side comparison. The US05 tastes more balanced and cleaner than the S04. I am no beer judge so I can't use fancy words. Both beers were tasty!

Doing this again tomorrow. But using 3 oz of Galaxy and using BRY 97 yeast. Thought this would be a good grain base to try a new hop for me and yeast. Thanks to Matt at my LHBS for the hookup.
Harsh as in bitter or over earthy/spicy?I would suggest using something other than Galaxy for the 60 minute. It can get a little harsh when added early in the boil. I'd even ne leary of using it at 30.
... jus' my 2 cents
cheers
Harsh as in bitter or over earthy/spicy?
It has an astringent taste to me when used early in the boil. Tasty late/dry hopped though.
Ended up doing Cascade at 60 and 30 min. Then .5 oz galaxy at 15 and .5 oz at flameout. Smelled wonderful. The BRY-97 hit this off in 12 hours and is raging fully. Going to let it roll 14 days @ 64 degrees then crash and keg.
That is not what I want. Anyone else use at start of boil?
May sub cascade to start and pick up galaxy at 15 min and flame out.
I brewed this 2 weeks ago, will be a 4 week primary before cold crashing & bottling. Mashed at 152F->150F (@ 60 min), controlled fermentation temp at 63F with Wyeast 1056, OG = 1.053, FG = 1.006 (6.2% ABV). I'll mash at 154F next time, but I've had dry beers go over very well.
Brewed another 10 gal over the weekend. Mashed at 155F to counter the 1 lb of light brown sugar that I added with 15 min left in the boil. This time, I tweaked the hop schedule hoping to smooth out the bitterness a bit. I went with:
1oz Cascade FWH
1oz Cascade 60 min
1oz Cascade 10 min
1oz Cascade 0 min
OG was 1.056. Fermenting at 67F using US05.

I am planning on bottling Ed's original recipe. I see that everyone is kegging, so here is my (probably silly) newbie question: should I do anything to carbonate, such as adding priming sugars?
Yes boil a cup of water with 5 oz priming sugar. Add that to your bottling bucket and rack your beer on top of it.
I find that 3oz of priming sugar for a 5 gallon batch gives perfect carbonation. Im sure 5oz would lead to over carbonation.
5oz is the standard that comes with all the kits. The ratio id 1oz per gallon.

Every time man

I wonder why you can get away with so much more dextrose. I imagine your beer is very fizzy.
