Oh no doubt, and the Browns were the suckers for believing the Vikes would go RB with all the holes on that team. Apparently they forgot about that guy Adrian Peterson. Anxiously awaiting to see how the Cowboys can ruin yet another draft.

I really dont understand the Browns line of reasoning in this trade. The Vikings clearly had indicated that Richardson wasnt on their list of priority picks yet the Browns gave up all that to move to that spot. And we ask ourselves why the Browns suck. Well here you go.

I'm not much of a fan of surprises on brew day so I'm going to add some 2-row in hopes that it allows for some forgiveness with the wheat & rye. 48% 5lb 0 Rahr Two-Row 34 4 ~ 29% 3lb 0 Weyermann Pale Wheat 39 2 ~ 10% 1lb 0 Weyermann Rye 34 3 ~ 10% 1lb 0 Rice Hulls info 0 0 ~ 4% 0 6oz...

I'm planning on messing with some Wheat/Rye for a little American Wheat beer and have a grain bill composed of the following. 6lbs Pale Wheat Malt 2lbs Rye Malt .6oz Honey malt 1lb Rice Hulls I'm curious if I will have any conversion issues and if the 1lb of rice hulls is sufficient in...

I went ahead and set my fridge temp to 60. After moving the primary in there and checking each hour the temp had started to settle at 74, and by this morning was at 68/70 and still bubbling away. Thanks for the reply, I'll still give this beer an extra week to do its thing and will reply back...

I have read through the majority of the posts on here and got some valuable information however I'm stuck on a plan of action. My Pale Ale, brewed on 2/25 with WLP001 was pitched at 70 degrees around 7PM that night. Temps on the bucket had been pretty consistent however as expected during...

Happy Friday HBT! :rockin: So I'm prepping my starter for tomorrow and I had one of two potential issues which may result in a trip to the home brew shop in the morning. I was religiously keeping everything except for one major over sight, the yeast vile itself. As I opened the vile, one I...

Beersmith has made things so much easier, and with your suggestion I think that makes a lot more sense as this will be my first AG beer. Truly appreciate the feedback!

Thanks man, I'm really hoping for some good color with the crystal 80. Now I feel better.

So I brewed two extract kits and got bored and have been self teaching myself from all of the kick butt info on this site. I put together an all grain recipe for a Pale Ale... I know, going both feet in :rolleyes: Here is my grain bill and hop schedule, will be using the typical 10 gallon...

Ok, so after setting up equipment profile and changing to medium body I have the following. Mash In- 14.46 quarts @ 163.7 Batch sparge with 2 steps... (0.75gal, 2.97gal) of 168 degrees. I'm assuming I could just split this batch with 1.85 gallons in each sparge and get the same effect...

That actually helped, I believe I'm getting closer as a result.

I'll go that route, thank you for giving me something to work with.

Sounds good, I'll diddle with it some more based on this information.

I'm working on my first AG brew ( Stone Pale Ale clone) and am having a hard time understanding the sparge steps its listing. Under the "Mash Profile" I have selected "Single Infusion, Full Body, Batch Sparge". Mash In- Add 14.45qt water at 171.6F My steep temp is 156 for 45 min. Its...
