I've had many Jai Alai's as they're one of my favorite beers, and I live in Tampa. My first few clones were good, but they lacked that flavor and aroma of a fresh jai alai. I found the cedar and the very first batch smelled and tasted nearly exact at bottling, and I hadn't changed anything to...

Spanish Cedar is an absolute must. It is the signature flavor and aroma you need to make a clone. I'm still trying to figure out how long to age it on it but I found a good source for spanish cedar chips and shavings. Obviously the spirals are the best, but I can't imagine a clone getting the...

If that's same day you bottled, I don't think you were at terminal gravity. Still had some to go. Typically when I bottle, I have nearly zero bubbled on the surface. I'd consider drinking them quickly, at the very least checking them consistently for overcarbonated bottles, then fridge and drink...

If it's at all similar to their hop hash, I would have added some centennial towards the end. Your color seems a little high, but I'm not 100% on that I just remember it being nearly as light as hop hash as well. Sorry you haven't gotten the responses you've expected. It's happened to me here...

You have the hops for a MACC IPA I brewed this last night and man the aroma was the best I've ever whiffed from the wort: 60m boil 10lb 2 row 1.5lb munich 1lb honey 1oz magnum (or centennial, maybe amarillo) FWH .5oz citra 20 1.5oz amarillo whirlpool 1.5oz citra whirlpool...

Just the answer I was needing, I wasn't sure of the effects and didn't want to end up with any bottle bombs. I have far less worry now. Thanks!

My IPA's wee doing the same thing. How are yours tasting once the darkness comes around??? I've done 3 things to eliminate oxygen, a couple have been mentioned. No more cold crash. Cap and let sit. But I let mine sit for like a half hour before full capping. And REDUCE HEADSPACE in your...

I've noticed that at about 2 weeks of refrigeration, following being carbed (I bottle condition) I've had excellent aroma, clarity, and flavor.

I'm a little confused like salty I think. Grain bill looks very high. In brewersfriend, 18lbs of marris alone, at 60% efficiency, gives 1.136 og. And the way you intend to mash seems it would yield higher efficiency imo. Unless I'm missing something I think you might exceed your og with the recipe.

Yes Bluepoint, I want to get close to it, but don't have much info besides what I have above

Help me decide how to hop a clone of this, and maybe grain bill too if possible . Only a few threads out there discussing this clone, closest thing I can figure out is bittering with warrior, maybe a combo of mt hood and amarillo for flavor, amarillo for aroma and dry hop? The "mystery" hop...

How about centennial, pairs well with simcoe

You da man, thank you

Your question is a little confusing. Are you making 5 gallon batches split into 5 1 gallon fermenters? Wanting to make 10 fermenters instead? We assume you mean bottling in 10 growlers instead of a bunch of bottles. Unless you can get your hands on the 64 Swing top bottles, the twist caps cannot...

I've got active fermentation, showed up around 55 hours in, and its now full krausen at 67 hours, hopefully all will be ok

To the OP, the obvious things have been mentioned, better quality, more accuracy, more fine tuning flavors and such. I went all grain about 6 months ago, I'm never looking back. My biggest issue was extract twang. Could have been many issues combined, but guaranteed I've gotten better...

No advantage. If you must secondary (you shouldn't/don't need to ;), just more oxygen pickup which is not good in an ipa) rack on the hops and 5- 7 days is perfect. My ipa's have improved big time since avoiding oxygen as much as possible
