Oh wow. Glad I missed then at the HBS I didn't realize it would be super sweet. Good catch!

Subbed cascade for Simcoe and chinook at 10 minutes

A couple tweaks..thoughts before I head to the LHBS Batch Size: 2.00 gal Style: American IPA (14B) Boil Size: 2.83 gal Style Guide: BJCP 2008 Color: 9.2 SRM Equipment: My Equipment Bitterness: 166.4 IBUs Boil Time: 90 min Est OG: 1.081 (19.5° P) Mash Profile: Single Infusion, Light Body, No...

Doh! Can't believe I forgot them. Where would you suggest I add them for maximum dankness? I was thinking at the beginning of the boil. Also how accurate is the IBU calculator on Beersmith (My first time using it) because adding .5 oz of Columbus at 90 minutes shows an IBU of 184

Go easy it's my first recipe. I am doing a small 2 gal batch to get my feet wet in AG. I am a big fan of super hoppy IIPAs. Should be about 8.3% ABV and 117 IBUs. Please critique and give your advice. Type: All Grain Batch Size: 2.00 gal Boil Size: 2.83 gal Boil Time: 90 min End of Boil...

To update this. I decided on a RIS for a good baby beer. One of my last extract kits as I will be starting AG soon. After missing original gravity I'm happy to report my Russian Imperial Stout is still a healthy 9.2% ABV. Time to age on oak and cacao nibs until the new baby is here.

I had considered the mobile software but also tossed around the full computer version since I'm known to swap phones and go between Android and iPhone. Thanks for the walk through.

Oh okay. I read through your post and see you use the same setup as I will be. What size batches are you making? Also how do you figure out temps and grain needed since I know most recipes seem to be for 5 gal batches? Do you use Beersmith or similar software? I hadn't purchased it yet since I...

I may be trying an all grain recipe soon. Now with BIAB what is the process? I see sparge and no sparge, is there a choice and if so what are the differences?

Thanks Doug. Talking with my wife, who is pregnant and as such cant taste the delicious brew at the moment mentioned small batches may be better since it is just me drinking it now. So really all I would need is the bag to do BIAB?

Awesome responses. I currently make 5 gal batches. If possible I would like to stick to that size. Would that be about a 15 gal kettle? Can I use my little 5 gal kettle for anything?

I've done a number of partial mash extract batches and was planning on making the switch to all grain. I read that it can be done cheaply and expensively. My LHBS has an all grain setup with pot, false bottom, ball valve and temp gauge. Would a pre made setup be easier? Also what exactly is...

Brewed the batch last night. Aroma was pleasant and hoppy and wort taste wasn't bad at all...we will see how it goes

Would 1 oz of each at the given intervals be good followed by an oz of each at 3 minutes?

Also forgot to add any tweaks to their brew process or any malt I should steep in the water?

Okay. Like another oz of Citra maybe?

Okay and those hop additions should be good for aroma and flavor right? I am a huge Citra fan and really like cascade as well so it should be an interesting and hoppy ale

Hey everyone, Brewing my first batch and have a Coopers Real Ale kit, 3 lbs dextrose, 1 oz Citra and 1 oz Cascade hops. Already bought the dextrose so I won't be using DME or LME this time. Help me put together something good.

Have you brewed any specifically or have a suggestion for a good recipe?

Haha! Sorry for a poorly worded title. I didn't even think of a KBS clone..that's a really good idea, my wife and I love that beer.
