That worked pretty good, thanks for the tip. I came up with 1.060 - 1.055, so I am somewhere in the 4.5 to 5% range.

Thanks

But my final is 1.022. Any way to guess what the ABV might be?

It's a top 5 beer for me. An outstanding beer, the oakey flavors at so subtle and really balance with the hops.

Widespread Panic, Dead, Reggae...

Who is ever going to know how much beer I brew? Is investigation something you worry about?

I would think the Great American Beer Festival in Denver would be the one to attend.

Go with a nice American Blond. There are tons of recipes out there.

I have always liked beer, my dad would let me have a sip of his High Life as a kid. But I really didn't drink anything till I was 21 and I wanted to find some good beer. Newcastle was my first good beer and that was really all I drank for several years. THen as the American Craft Beers became...

That is very strange, have you been living under a rock?

:mug: Me too! Just got a Pilocillo Brown Fall Ale from Austin Homebrew in the fermenter. Pretty stoked, this recipe sounds awesome and it will be ready just as the cool breeze makes it's way down to sunny FL. Ya'll have a great brew day!

This describes my situation precisely. Brewnow> that is what I did. Should be ready to drink in two weeks and it smelled amazing when I bottled it. I want to brew a Octoberfest style with ale yeast but I feel like the temp should be lower on that.

I've been pretty lucky, I get head all the time, on my beers.

I live in FL and it simply cannot get cool enough in the summer to ferment my beers below 75 degrees. My beer tastes good, but I can't help to wonder if they would taste better if they fermented at a cooler temperature. What are some of your experiences with fermentation temperature?

Thanks everyone, I think i'll give it a go.
