Skeezer: my buddy brewed this last night and was really disappointed to find out the extract recipe yielded a 1.050 wort at 5 gallon volume. Following your recipe on the OP how does that calculate to 1.065? Here is what I am getting even when I crank the efficiency up to 99%.
Wouldn't your boil/batch size effect your OG as well? If you want to do a 6 gallon batch you might need to scale ingredients accordingly

fosaisu said:Looks like you used LME interchangeably with DME. The dry extract is more concentrated so if you go liquid you need to use more (I generally multiply the DME weight by 1.25 if swapping in LME).
drawdy10 said:Nope, followed the recipe exactly and used the DME. Put the OP extract recipe in your software and tell me what you get. It does not equal 1.065 at 5 gallon batch like it says it should.

Thanks for the help guys! Sorry I'm a dufus and didn't enter the right values on the software for the extract. Updated with DME this time for the screenshot. K now I am not sure why this only yielded in the 50's for my buddy that brewed it. Will need to ask more questions. Thanks again for the help! Cheers
Brewed this 1 month ago, and kegged it after 2 weeks. Initially it stunk & tasted like Body Odor/Sweat, I think it has something to do with 2012 Citra which I used for the first time. My previous Citra beers have not had this. Luckily 2 weeks later and that has almost disipated.
Nice recipe, but almost a bit too cloying to drink more than a pint or two. Mine finished at 1.016, so perhaps it would be better a bit lower.
Thanks OP!
I only have 5 oz of citra. Is there any good subs. I would think dryhop with citra would be for sure.
This stuff is a hit everyone loves it. Mine came out extremely dark though. It's almost black
Nargan said:I had been looking forward to this one for months. I finally got the equipment to switch from extract to all grain so this weekend was finally time to do it. Unfortunately, it was a disaster and didn't turn out as intended. In the end, I discovered that my cheapo budget thermometer appears to be horribly inaccurate by about 15 degrees so my mash was almost certainly NOT 152F and was probably closer to 136-140F. Pre-boil gravity was a measly 1.030. Post-boil was 1.048 but only after I did an extended boil because I decided the batch was already lost so why not try to get a usable gravity out of it. It smells ridiculously good right now but it most certainly is not a Zombie Dust clone. I've ordered two new thermometers and intend to call do-over on this recipe in another week or two. I hadn't noticed this problem before because I was brewing using extract and really didn't use the thermometer much.

I use paint strainer bags every time I hop any beer. Do you dry hop in a carboy? I would recommend doing it in the keg if you are using a bag, pulling a bag of hops out of a carboy is a PITA.Flipadelphia said:I brewed this once before and had so much hop gunk in my keg that it clogged everything up. To prevent this, is it OK if I: 1. Hop during the boil in a paint strainer bag. 2. Filter runnings into my carboy with another paint strainer bag 3. Dry hop in a paint strainer bag with a couple stainless steel bolts. Is there any downside to my plan?
Cool, I'll be over in a few weeks to try one (says the guys from Cincinnati also).Just mashed in @ 151-152. Upped the batch to 6 gallons to account for trub and my seemingly random boil rates.
