Sierra Nevada is the quintecential apa I think. Classic example of this style. I'vebeen drinking a lot of widmers drifter pale ale. Dogfish shelter pale ale is on the top of my list as well.

passed pawn you and i are close. lets trade and compare!

i tried my luck at a pumpkin recipe this fall also. i think there is too much cinnamon bite and not enough pumpkin sweetness too it but my girlfriend is begging me to brew it again. i will probably give it a rest until next fall and do a bigger batch (this one only 3 gal.) here is my recipe...

are you rehydrating your yeast? i have found that since i started doing this i have not had this problem (crosses fingers).

It is a wheat/light dme recipe with 1 oz. Mt hood and amarillo. Amarillo was added at the end of the boil with lemon zest and coriander. S-33 yeast. I will bottle and wait. Thanks for the help.

My summer ale is about ready to be bottled now after three weeks in the primary and a fg at 1.014. Drank the hydrometer tube after the reading. Great initial lemon flavor but followed by a very grassy flavor. Tasted just like a fistful of Amarillo hops (which I used for aroma). Anything I can do...

My last batch sat at around 80 and carved up no problem in a week. That was with us-05 . I think it depends mostly on your yeasts temp threshold. I think bottles carbfaster at higher temps so I would think your closet would be best. I'm a noob so I could be wrong.

thanks for the help guys. i'm going to take hydrometer readings this morning.

should i bottle soon if the FG is still at 1.020?

another question about this same beer its now showing lots of activity in the airlock. bubbling at least every minute now. which is great, i think, because it means it will continue to drop below 1.020. when i looked at it (glass carboy) there was a layer of white bubbles on top of the beer...

Really? Everything I've read about S-04 says it gives you a lower FG. Guess advertising isn't always true. US-05 got my pumpkin down from 1.048 to 1.012 in 6 days.

i just starting drinking my pumpkin pale ale that i used US-05 for. i had it fermenting in the mid 70's and it turned out great and fermented quickly. a much faster working yeast than S-33. i'll probably continue to use US-05 for a majority of my american beers. i really want to try S-04 also...

so i tried again to get a accurate hydrometer reading. still had bubbles so i tried to spinning technique. no change. i am going to let it air out to see if it runs flat after a while. i put a thermostrip on the carboy to see where the temp was at and it did indicate. does that mean the temp...

thats what i gathered from its usage. thanks for the clarification.

here's a big noob question. what does it mean to say that the beer is still "green"?

I've got a Summer Ale fermenting with Safale 33 in a glass carboy now. Its been sitting in there for 10 days. Today I took a hydrometer reading. Double bad news. FG hasn't continued to drop past 1.020 (it was at 1.020 on Thursday) and I have carbonation bubbles in the tube? Why would I have...

Driftwood was really cool but most of those houses looked abandoned. Don't get too depressed you've got some great homebrew to last you until you can brew again. My girlfriend is making me wait until next month as well. Too much clutter to have more than 2 carboys fermenting at the same time in...
