How did your pale ale with mt hood and willamete turn out?

I am trying to write a easy drinking pale ale recipe for my new pump/hopstand upgrade and would welcome any advice. It is a kind of a blend of a Biermuncher's Kona pale ale and Patrick Henry pale ale (Chris Colby's), but with whirlpool hopping. Never done a hopstand/whirlpool before and hoping...

I was thinking of subbing flaked barley for the carapils. Anyone have an opinion?

Hey BM, why the 90 min boil if there is no pils in the grain bill? Btw, centennial blond is day 2 in my fermentor and bubbling away happily.

Anyone had any success using liquid yeast for this recipe and if so what kind? Also I was thinking about putting in some orange zest at flameout, opinions? T

Got home last night from dinner and my dog was acting very strange, pacing, shaking, panting. Would not sit still or relax. She finally vomited several times and amongst her food, found little black things that turned out to be cacao nibs. After going to the pantry and finding my bag of nibs...

Awesome, let us know how it finishes.

Probably a dumb question, but my brain isn't connection the dots.... If I make a starter with 2 vials of liquid yeast instead of just one, do I still want my starter OG to be around 1.036? It would seem twice the yeast would need more food. Reason I ask is I have a 5000ml flask with stir...

Carboys are gone, thanks for all who responded Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

My wife bought me a conical and I haven't been using carboys anymore. I've got 5 better bottle carboys (couple 6 and 5gal), bungs, air locks, and a racking cane I want to get rid of. If anyone lives in SoCal and can make it to Huntington Beach, you are welcome to them. Let me know.

I've been wondering, for those of us who batch sparge, what is the average mash efficiency most people are getting? I know the answer that most seasoned brewers will give is "the number doesn't matter as long as you're consistent with your equipment", but i'm still curious. I use a circular...

I've never been to any other brewshop because SF is on my way home from work. There grain always seems fresh ( I tried to attach their grain sheet below). They have an OK selection of both white labs and wyeast. Never needed hops that they don't have but not sure where they get them from...

Cool, maybe I'll stop by. Would be cool if they started selling grain, hops, and yeast. Save me a trip to stein fillers.

Just to clarify, it is a very cool business idea and very fun for the lay person or someone getting interested in brewing. Just not for the established home brewer.

Classic rock like Zeppelin,Fleetwood Mac,CCR,Beatles,Eagles,Stones.....just seems right.

In a round about way, brewbakers got me into brewing. My buddy asked me if I wanted to try his "homebrew". I did and it was horrible. Metallic tasting horrible. I found out he brewed it at brew bakers, which is basically going to the place, picking the ingredients, and then the owners do the...

When you all are making recipes, just wondering about what % of the total IBUs you like to get out of the 60min bittering addition vs late hops? I have been doing recipes in reverse doing my late hop additions first and then just adding bettering hops to get to my final desired IBUs. Just...

I ended up changing it a bit. I decreased IBUs and ABV to make it a little more friendly for the wife. It turned out very very good. More piney than original. When I do it again I will increase the cascade or sub centennial to give a little more citrus, and maybe something for a little more...
