Awesome, look forward to the updates! Oh the horror! I think you should pour it out and try again ;)

Racked to secondary and added dry hops. Checked the SG and it was around 1.010 - 1.013 (couldn't tell because i checked after i added hops and they blocked the reading). Tastes pretty hoppy, though there was still quite a bit of sediment that needs to drop to the bottom, so next saturday...

UPDATE: Was going to rack to secondary and dry-hop last night, but there was still a significant krausen and consistent bubbling in the blowoff bath. Early fermentation was blowing some of the krausen through the blowoff tube, my bath (star-san & water) is now slightly colored from the...

With all that said in the last few posts, I will stick with the original plan for the dry hop: 1.00 oz Citra 0.50 oz Centennial 0.33 oz Nelson Sauvin 0.17 oz Cascade [5g] 0.17 oz Columbus [5g] I've typically dry-hopped in the primary before transferring to a seconday, but think I'm going to...

BSG Handcraft... is this the one you're talking about being poor?

Allthingsgiant, what are you using to print these? I am looking at upgrading from my crappy color printer, these labels look great!

I'll check when I get home, I know it's not Hop Union, it's a gold nitro sealed packet with a black/red label. Well, since I have 2-3 days until I can dry-hop, what should I use instead of Cascade (remember, it's only 5 grams / .17 oz). The three hops I have that I think would work...

Yeah, I prefer using the smack pack for some unknown reason, but I've used both before. I looked up the sub chart on Brew365 (also same one at my store, Listermanns) and decided to go with Cascade. I did have the choice to use Amarillo, because the brew store had just gotten their shipment...

Yep and yep! I had to make substitutions because I couldn't find any Amarillo, so the first two batches I bumped it up to 8 lbs pale and Citra in place of Amarillo. Brewed a 3rd batch (pictured) and kept everything the same but added a half ounce of Chinook to the dry hop. While it's still...

At a boil at last! Enjoying my Founders all-day IPA clone next to an actual Founders All-Day. Guess which one is mine? (same orientation in both photos) Will keep you guys updated as this thing progresses (up and to when I compare side-by-side with White Rajah).

I've learned when it comes to IPA's and Pale ales, you have to treat the darker malts like salt, a little bit goes a really long way. I'm more of a fan of dry, bitter & dank IPA's (RuinTen, Enjoy By, Stone IPA, Two-Hearted, All-Day, etc..) and like little to no malt sweetness... Beersmith is...

Brewing Rjschroed's recipe, except subbing Cascade for Summit (brew store said they've never carried summit) and only using 0.20 lbs of Honey malt (I would have assumed there was none from the taste of it). I recently did an IPA with 2.6% Honey Malt (0.5 lbs) and it turned out overly sweet, if...

I am very curious as to how this turns out.. I read this thread all the way from the beginning and would love to duplicate this brew, as it's become one of (if not) my favorite beers that is easily available (at least in Ohio!). I may get the stuff necessary to brew it this weekend, as i have...

I had quite a bit more trub/yeast in the bottles this time around, but it mostly settled at the bottom so as long as you don't drink bottoms up, it's all good! It was in the stone bottle in this picture, I was drinking a founders all day beforehand (if you like grapefruit, this beer is the...

#1 - hop project #1 (5.25% Abv, 85 IBU) #2 - Weihenstaphener Hefeweissen (clone) (4.4 % abv, 20 IBU) #3 - hop project #2 (6.3% Abv, 90 IBU) 21321 + 15 = 21336 Gallons Or... for those that want some perspective: 2,731,008 oz. 227,584 (12 oz) Bottles 1376 (15.5 gal) kegs 688 Barrels.

I'm bottling tonight, but (Two posts above) before carbonation it tastes great! Grapefruit aroma and taste. Can't wait until it's ready in 2.5-3 weeks.

That's what I decided to do. I was worried a few hours after i pitched the yeast & hops, but even if it didn't turn out, it is a good learning experience. I just checked the specific gravity, and it hasn't even been a full 7 days and it's already at 1.012 (O.G was 1.060). Since it appears...

I pitched the hop pellets right into the wort; I don't have any more fermenters (or centennial/chinook hops), and the brew store is 25 miles away, so i think i'll ride this one out all the way through fermentation and strain the hops out when i empty it into the bottling bucket. @StPug, it's...

Ok, so I made two five gallon batches of beer over the weekend (one hefeweissen, the other an IPA, my second and third batches ever). This is my second time doing the IPA recipe, but this time I decided to dry hop in the primary fermenter. I don't plan on doing a secondary at the time, so with...
