I'm 39 minutes into my boil as I type this!

Yep, this is potentially dangerous stuff! :drunk:

Completely? No. It's better than nothing, but without filtering, there'll be something. Of course, I'd love to have someone demonstrate otherwise!

It's just one of those things where you go with your gut and your palate. Since it's not a clone of anything, nobody is going to say "man, this is hoppier than I expected it to be". Keg it, carb it, and taste it. Taste good? Then it's ready to go. Too green? Then start with some hoppy beer...

I wouldn't worry about it. I made a batch with an ounce of Cascade in October and sucked it down just as soon after bottling it as my other batches.

I need a real Carboy Cleaner because the coat-hanger & sweatsock version I made just sucks.

I think I will! I have a dedicated cider bucket with a nearly-ready-to-bottle batch of Graff in it now, and your recipe is next!

Interesting... what's the ballpark ABV? How would you compare the two, taste-wise?

I'd like to win one because I just got a $40 ticket rushing home to get in before the 4pm deadline. :p

I'd like one of these doodads because I hate hate hate cleaning my carboy with a brush.

You took an OG measurement of a gallon of wort containing just the Crystal and LME? You're right, it should have included the juice. No big deal... just let it sit for the full two weeks before mucking with readings, then check every day for a few days to make sure it's not falling any...

I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do have some questions to help us help you - What don't you like about it, specifically, beyond "tart and tangy"? Can you describe what it tastes like a little more? Did you follow Brandon's recipe, or make modifications? How much of what...

My last batch: 2136 + 5 = 2141 Today's batch: 2141 + 5 = 2146

*facepalm* You'd think it was my first day on the intertubes.

That's really quite lovely. How do you deal with your drip tray, if I may ask? I'm losing track here... did you document your build in another thread?

Were you able to get your hands on their very limited release, "Lunch"? Freaking awesome. I want to clone that and/or get hired by them so I can steal the recipe. ;)

I'm with you on Shipyard... I probably buy more of their beer now (I'm a sucker for their IPA and Old Thumper) that I'm brewing than I did before I started. Same for Sebago. Baxter, though - I want to like it, but I'm not seeing what all the fuss is about. Not that it's not good, it's...

As mentioned, keep an eye on it. If it does freeze pretty solid, you can drain off the nonfrozen portion and claim you intentionally made apple jack :D

Yep, especially if you're using a lager yeast.

2110 + 5 = 2115
