Personally i would get a couple more ounces.

The cascade would be the best of the 3 to bitter with, but for an IPA you are going to need more hops anyway. I would suggest buying some magnum or Columbus for bittering and more cascade and FF 7C's for flavor and aroma.

Very cool gear. I want some!

Had it on tap in Edwardsville IL at Global tap. Wish i could have had more than 1, but i was driving.

Was at a local restaurant and the owner came out and was sitting with a couple ladies. One of them ordered a schlafly porter. He proceeds to say that it is a very good beer for people that normally drink bud light because it is lager-y.

There are no charts. First you need to understand what makes up a beers flavor profile. Then you will need to figure out what grains will give you that. Then move on to hops. You have bittering, flavor and aroma. Some hops can be used for all 3 and some cant. Brewmasters bible and designing...

If i remember right, about 4oz.

Thanks for pointing out that carapils is not a crystal malt. It is almost pointless to use it in conjunction with crystal malt as is does not add sweetness or color. I personally still do not like to go much over 10% crystal in my IPA's.

I have never had the beer that your trying to clone. So with that said, i think your crystal is way to high for an IPA. Your recipe has almost 20% crystal malt. I would personally cut that down to 10% or less and mash at 150°. Also 1272 is my house yeast. It will leave some residual sweetness...

Build a manifold

I use a 48 quart igloo cube with grain bills from 8 lbs to 24 lbs. I lose about 2° an hour with the smaller grain bills. I did insulate the lid with spray foam.

I drilled my cpvc manifold. I think i used 1/32 holes. I get a consistent 75% efficiency. My manifold is in a 48 quart igloo cube. With grain bills from 8-24 lbs.

Was at a local restaurant that has 5 micro's on tap. I was enjoying a Stone Ruination. A guy sits down at a table beside us and ask what is on tap. The waiter recited the list. The guy promptly orders Shlafly's unfiltered wheat. It takes him the better part of an hour to finish his beer. The...

I made mine out of a 48 quart igloo ice cube. I made a cpvc manifold for it. Works great for five gallon and will hold 25# of grain!

Is batch sparging really faster? I fly sparge. To collect 6.5 gallon takes about 40 min. I fly sparge because thats what I'm comfortable with and thats how my system is set up, not because a brewery does it.

17 gallons in kegs and 4 cases of 12oz bottles and on case of 22oz bottles. Plus 5 gallon fermenting.

12oz of Amarillo hops!!!
