Here's the finalized recipe of what I plan to brew Saturday. It's imortant to note I'll be brewing this beer with cigar in hand and 21st Amendment's "Bitter American" in my glass! Wish me luck ladies and gentlemen...I'll report back in 3-4 weeks :mug: ATOMIC Session IPA Batch Size...

Please let us know how this one turns out...looks like it has some serious potential!

I'm planning to tackle this "session IPA" project this Saturday. Here's what I'm planning to brew: Batch Size: 6-Gallons OG: 1.042 IBU: 42-ish Color: 7.5 SRM Yeast: Wyeast 1056 Primary: 14-Days @ 68F Secondary: 7-Day dry-hop @ 70F Mash: 1.25 Qts/Lb for 45-min @ 156F Grain Bill...

Subscribed! I've been thinking a lot about this topic lately, especially with our unusual dose of premature northwest sunshine. Have any of you come up with a recipe that worked well?? While sitting here I decided to tweak the 3 Floyds Zombie Dust recipe to suit the "session IPA" recipe idea...

Thanks skeezerpleezer...I appreciate it!

Has anyone successfully come up with a lower ABV version of this amazing recipe? I'd love to get this down around 5%ABV or so...is it as simple as cutting out some of the 2-row and maye scaling back the boil hops just a bit?

Agreed...I think a 154 or 155 mash temp might do the trick next time. The dryness of this beer makes it VERY drinkable, but I was hoping to get the ABV down around 4.8% or so. I ended up at 5.7%, which is fine, but I was hoping to have it be a little more sessionable.

This beer has been in the keg for 7 days and is very tasty. The nose from the Centennial & Amarillo dry hops is amazing. I nailed the OG at 1.052, but the US-05 brought the FG all the way to 1.008 (I'd hoped for 1.012...mashed at 152). Even though it's drier than I'd intended, it's still a...

I brewed this beer yesterday...I'll be sure and check back with the results. Here's what I ended up with (Less IBUs than I originally thought): O.G. 1.052 IBU: 40.31 (Tinseth) Boil: 60-Minutes Mash: 152 for 60-Minutes (1.25 Qts/lb) Yeast: Safale US-05 Primary: 68F for 14-Days...

I just picked up the grain bill today, but changed the hop schedule some. I plan to brew it this weekend, and will certainly post the results in a month or so. Here's the final recipe: O.G. 1.049 IBU: 47.6 (Tinseth) Boil: 60-Minutes Mash: 152 for 60-Minutes (1.25 Qts/lb) Yeast: Safale...

Thanks for the input guys...I appreciate it. The recipe is very slightly outside the style guidelines as far as IBUs are concerned, but I do want it to be more of a hop-forward beer. I've never used Warrior before, but as I understand it, it's a pretty clean bittering hop. My thoughts are...

The following is my first ever attempt at crafting my own recipe (I plan to brew it this weekend). I'd love any input anyone might have...there's so much wisdom and experience here I'm sure it would be beyond helpful to me. Thanks in advance to all of you who take the time to add your...

Mine has been in the keg for exactly seven days now. This beer is AMAZING! I know it's called an "American Pale Ale", but it definitely fits the IPA paramaters a little more closely. Either way, this is a phenominal beer that won't last long around my house. Now the challenge is to duplicate...

I racked mine to the keg three days ago. The 4-oz sample I had made me firmly believe this could be the best beer I've ever brewed. I'm not an old pro by any means, but I have around 15 all-grain batches under my belt, and quite a few of them have turned out very well. This beer is by far the...

Mine has been on gas for 2 weeks now. I sampled it after primary and wasn't happy with the lack of vanilla aroma. I added 2 vanilla beans to secondary for a week (split, but seeds left inside). It has too much vanilla now! I'm hoping it'll fade over time. It's taking a while to carb also...must...

Thanks for the update Revelator.

I just bought the Haier 7.1 CU Ft model from Costco the other day. Last night I removed the thermostat through the front panel and located what I believe to have been the coarse adjustment screw. I began turning it clockwise until it seemed that it was either all the way in or stripped. I was...

I'm kegging mine tomorrow...I threw in 2 vanilla beans five days ago, and it smells amazing! I'll be sure and check back with tasting notes in 1-2 weeks.

I think we've decided on a $20 Northern Brewer gift card. Nothing big, but it'll keep things interesting. I have NINE ounces of Citra pellets in my freezer right now!! I couldn't believe my LHBS in Seattle had so much. They've even got Simcoe and Amarillo. Needless to say, I stocked up on a...

I'll be brewing this tomorrow during a "Pale Ale Challenge" in my garage with my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and a friend. We plan to brew 3 pale ales using the recipe of our own liking, and then doing a blind tasting once they're ready to drink. I'm looking forward to trying this one for sure!
