Good to hear. I have to say, all I've read about on this site and can't recall anything quite like this. Hey maybe it'll help remind others to set their temp control before walking away! Anyway, I'll give it another week or two then throw it in the keg and see what I've got. Thanks again!

So let's see if you all think I screwed this one up bad or not. (I know I screwed it up at least a little, but let's see if you think it's salvageable). Anyway, I brewed up a wheat Ipa about 6 days ago. I pitched a 2 litre starter (after decanting) of Wlp001 cal ale yeast. I set it in my...

So here is a new one, and I'm wondering if anyone thinks I screwed the brew up. Anyway...I made a wheat ipa over the weekend (about 6 days ago), pitched Cal ale yeast and starter (2 litre) and fermentation took off quick. It was going strong 6 hours later. I noticed the temp creeping up in the...

Ok to do an update. ( yes I know it's been a while...)--Went to the brewery, made my irish, and it turned out awesome. Beer sold out faster than any of their beers ever did, and I've been invited back to brew, bottle, hang out with the brewers. It was an awesome experience, we even did a firkin...

I'm the wrong person to ask, lol. I honestly have no idea, I've never done anything but all grain. Hopefully someone will post that does know...

I mashed lowish, about 153, made a 1.5 liter starter, decanted most of it, then fermented cool (61) for about ten days. After that I did a most likely unnecessary drest at 68 for a couple days, then crash cooled to 34 for a week, then kegged. This is my first recipe posting, so if I made some...

Oh, and I named it Fumblin Dubliner!

Thanks, all for the congrats. Made me remember what's most important in homebrewing; sharing your creation with others and seeing them enjoy it. When I get a chance, I will post the recipe up here, especially since I probably got ideas for the recipe from this site. (I usually scour several...

Thanks for the quick responses, all! I didn't get the impression they were trying to"steal" my recipe or anything of the sort. My first thought was that I was ecstatic my brew is good enough for someone to want to reproduce commercially and I get the opportunity to assist in the brew...

So I've been on this site reading for quite some time, and this is my first post... Anyway, I entered and won my first ever competition recently. Part of the award was going to a local brewery to brew with them. I'm really excited about this chance to learn on a professional scale because I...
