Depending on what I'm making usually keg after about a month.

I never thought about this. Would using pale malt vs 2 row really make that big of an impact on the taste?

I was kind of thinking the same thing when I put the recipe together, I looked at Sierra Nevada's website and I wanted similar bitterness in my beer. Think I will give this a shot and experiment with the bitterness. I'm thinking that I'm not really getting the IBU's that my software is...

My friends that tried the beer told me it was sweet without me telling them anything (although they did like it), that's when it started to bug me because I was thinking the same thing. I drink alot of different styles, but over the past few months have really started to like the hoppier beers...

This is the last recipe I put together and brewed - 9.00 lb Pale Ale Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 85.71 % 0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 % 0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 % 0.50 lb Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 4.76 % 0.50 oz Warrior [16.90 %] (60...

I can't quite figure out what is going on. It seems like every beer I brew is consistently too sweet. I've gone through every cause that I can think of and am not seeing anything that I'm doing wrong. I do all grain brewing with a 48 qt cooler MLT and boil in 7.5 gallon pot. My usual starting...

I put together this recipe today and wanted to get some input before I brew it up next week. 8.50 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 87.18 % 1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 7.69 % 0.50 lb Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) Grain 5.13 % 1.00 oz Challenger [7.50 %] (60...

Should be fine... Mine sat in primary for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and then racked to secondary when I got back, left it for a week then kegged. It tasted great.

Ok so I think this is going to be the finished recipe. 9.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 90.00 % 0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 5.00 % 0.50 lb Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 5.00 % 0.50 oz Warrior [15.00 %] (60 min) Hops 25.9 IBU 0.75 oz Centennial [6.80...

yes they are pellet How much are you using? I was kind of thinking the same thing about the carapils so I think I'll leave it out. And I will move the 5 min hop addition to flameout. Thanks for all the input guys. I'll probably brew this up in the next week or so. :mug:

This is going to be my first attempt at creating my own recipe. Just looking for a little input...Thanks :mug: Amount Item Type % or IBU 8.50 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 85.00 % 0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 5.00 % 0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)...

Tastes great...once again thanks BM

I'm pretty sure it was the gelatin. I'm thinking I didn't mix it in the carboy very well because it just stayed mostly top and solidified, then when I agitated it, it just broke off in chunks and floated around. The next day I added more gelatin using the same procedure but this time mixed it...

I think I posted this under the wrong forum before.... I've used gelatin before and it worked great for me but this time I'm having a little problem. I have a pale ale that has been conditioning for about a month and 4 days ago started cold crashing at about 38 degrees. 3 days ago I added...
