    Need advice on hops to use!

    Ok, if your going for a dark IPA Bitter with chinook @ 60 min. then hop burst with either the cenntenial or cascade (your choice) @ 20, 15, 10, 5 and at flame out, then dry hop. You could also do a 50-50 mix of cent and cascade for each of the late additions.

    34/70 yeast

    just pointing the OP to the yeast strain that is traditionally used for a California common. 2112 optimal ferm temp is in the low to mid 60's closer to the OP's requested temp. If you wish to use a strain not recommended for 60's temps thats your decision, But not the traditional strain for that...

    34/70 yeast

    if you want to make a California common 2112 would be a much more appropriate yeast strain. you could get away with 65f with 2112 but 60f would be better.

    34/70 yeast

    34/70 is the same strain as WL 830 a traditional lager strain, best temps are 50f or lower. Don't even consider 66f.

    Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

    yeah, pitch count is more important for starting pitchers. They know they will be yanked if the pitch count gets around 70-80. The managers want at least 25 good starts from each starting pitcher.

    What makes a better fermentation chiller?

    the freezer, its larger and chest freezers are usually more energy efficient b/c when you open a frig all the cold air rolls out were as a chest freezer has a top lid and most of the cold air stays in b/c cold air sinks and will stay in the freezer.

    Simcoe Hop replacement for double IPA

    I have tried to find a sub for simcoe. I have tried many combinations of different hop varieties and non have come close to tasting like simcoe. I'm beginning to believe there is just no good replacement for simcoe. But I am really picky so if I did find something close I'm sure it would not be...

    Best pH meter?

    well we all have our opinions and I respect yours. But I just add .3 to the strip reading and have had accurate enough results (confirmed with a ph meter). for just confirming mash PH to within a range the strips work fine (in my opinion).

    Best pH meter?

    if your just checking mash ph just save money and get the colorfast strips. I have used both and the maintenance on the meters is a PITA. The strips you just pull out and use them then put them away. The meters need calibrated stored in solution and may still not hold calibration. the strips are...

    Amarillo Pale Ale (looking for feedback)

    my fave combo is amarillo and simcoe.

    Amarillo Pale Ale (looking for feedback)

    personally I like to use all my hops in a IPA at 20 min and later (hop burst) . This method puts all the hops in the flaver and aroma additions. I'd keep total IBU's the same but make my additions at 20,15,10 5,0, and dry hop.
