I guess i will go with the US Golding according to the Hops reference chart. The recipes i am looking at is Jamis ESB, Robust Porter, Southern English Brown Ale and other recipes in his book.

Quick question i have a lot of recipes that use East Kent Golding hops, can i use US Goldings as a substitute? HOPS DIRECT has a great deal on a pound of US GOLDING hops. Thanks in advance for any advice. NicK

that does sound like a good idea, the directions say to use the 1 ounce of cascade either at the 2 min mark or as Dry Hop. I think i will throw .5 oz in at 2 min and save the other .5 oz for dry hopping. thanks for the advice.

I have done extract batches in the past but not with full boils. I plan on boiling at least 5.5 gallons and then top up if needed. My system usually boils off a gallon per hour i just don't want to overshoot. My recipe is for a sierra navada clone. Should i adjust my hop amounts? recipe below...

Here is mine, nice and simple and works great.

Here is a picture of mine finished, i actually have magnets holding my drip tray right now.

I just tapped my first keg in this exact fridge, looks like a great idea to drill hole and run co2 line to the outside since the fridge does get a little tight with all the hoses. What size hole did you drill for the co2 line?

I have brewed this recipe twice and love it, Has anyone done a 10 gallon batch on this. I have all my equipment to step up to 10 gallons now. I'm figuring that i would double everything( grains, Orange zest, coriander) but what about the hops can someone help me out? Do i just double the hops...

The first batch i made had almost a perfume taste the hops were so strong is that from the 2 ounce dry hop? I did the recipe to a T. So this time around i was going to try Crystal 40L and made only dry hop with 1 ounce cascade.

great, that was some quick responses. I will check out POL video and recipe thanks for the info. The first batch of this recipe i made turned out great just thought i would tweak it a bit.

Brewing up the Cascade Orange pale ale recipe for the second time, would using Crystal 40L instead of Crystal 10L give it more body or just a darker color. any insight would be great. i am looking to give it a little bit more body.

I kegged my first batch of this recipe this weekend, It is great probably one of my favorite beers i have made. I think i am even going to take this keg to a Kentucky derby party to share with others.

I will be kegging a batch of this this friday, It looks so good and i can't wait to try. If all goes well i will be serving it at a big Kentucky Derby Party. By the way those pictures are awesome, makes me very thirsty.:)

I just did a search on here for squirrel and found a couple other people already made a label with this picture, and they look 100 times better than mine.

yeah like i said it is still a work in progress, I am having trouble getting the squirrel larger without it getting fuzzy. I will work more on it once i get home.

Thought i would try my hand at making a label. This is still a work in progress. These graphics programs are way over my head right now but i love a good challenge. Let me know what you think so far.

After much thinking i decided to go with.... Fat Cat Brewery Check out the picture and you will see why i picked this name. I found this cat at work when it was probably 2 days old. The mother cat must have dropped it and could not find it because it was behind a box in a real tight...

Should have a wort chiller by tomorrow. How much of a difference would a 3rd of an ounce make. I don't have a way to measure the hops out yet, so i guess i will just guess. How much of a difference would it make to add the full ounce instead of 2/3 of the ounce of hops.

I am hopefully going to do a Partial Mash reciepe this weekend with a full boil. This will be the first time i have done a full boil. I am using Midwest Partial Mash Dubbel 'Em Up w/White Labs Belgian Ale 550 recipe. recipe include 6 lb. Belgian Pils malt, 3.3 lb. Light Malt Extract, 1/4 lb...
