Got a good looking IPA recipe from a homebrewer friend which calls for Pacman yeast. My LHS does not carry it so looking for good substitude..OG on this IPA is projected to be around 1.075-1.080. Thanks

You shouldn't have any problems as long as you wait til you get to your destination before pitching the yeast

I'm looking for a hoppy rye pale ale extract recipe to brew this weekend anyone out there have a good one they would like to share? Thanks in advance

8oz. 2-row malt 6oz. crystal 90L malt 5 1/2 lbs. Extra pale extract 1 lb corn sugar (optional) 1oz. Fuggle hops (60 min.) 1/2 oz. Kent Golding hops (15 min.) dry Windsor Ale yeast Min. 3 weeks in primary or 2 in Secondary

Hey, worst case scenario I'll have a brown IPA...I'm going for it! Thanks Guys

It's an Austin HS clone kit

No mention of AA%

1oz fuggle at 60 min. 1/2 oz kent Golding at 15 min

Estimated OG is 1.050

Going to brew a AHS Newcastle brown ale full boil clone tomorrow...recipe calls for 1oz of hops at 60 min 1/2 oz at 15 min, kit came with 2oz of hops I'm thinking of adding last 1/2 oz at flame out...good idea or not ???

Where in richmond are you?, I'm in Chesterfield

I am aware that when doing a full boil extract one needs to begin with 6.25 - 6.5 gallons to allow for evaporation... what I'm iffy on is do I start with 6.5 gallons and then add extract or start with 5.5 gallons and get to the 6.5 when adding nearly a gallon of LME?

Some say he's an A$$ H*%e, but he's also a fellow home brewer so gotta give him plus point for that. going to learn how to use a custom cabinet cutting machine designed for us by GM.
