I rarely found a mild blonde

I recently made a "Double Eis-PA" by accidentally freezing my keg, i liked it so much I bottled it while the top was still slushy.

I don't really remember the exact recipe but it was something like this... Mostly 2-row, with lil 40-L Hops were Simcoe and Amarillo, something to the tune of 100+ IBU's. Wyeast 1056 If I had to guess the OG was probably around 1.055 The only sad part is I have no idea how much ice was...

I've recently benefited from a mistake... Long story short, I made an IPA over a year ago that was WAY too bitter (I'm a hop-head and even I thought it was undrinkable). I let it sit in my kegerator for the last year before trying it 2 weeks ago, still too bitter, and now the malt flavor...

haha wow, How did the sparge go? did the Rice Hulls help it along?

I would definitely recommend replacing some of the Rye Malt with Flaked Rye. @ 20% Rye Malt you're gonna have a pretty sticky sparge, I made a Rye IPA a few years ago, very enjoyable beer.

:drunk: That's all I needed to know :-p Thanks Orfy, just ordered the ingredients can't wait to try it out!

thanks I realized that after I posted. Seems a bit high to ferment out to 1.007 doesn't it?

Orfy I'm new to the style, what do you recommend in terms of mash temperature? Thanks!

Any updates on how this malt worked out for you?

what temperature did you mash at?

The best place to pick up an all-grain setup is from Northerbrewer.com If you are choosing between their 5 gallon coolers and their 10 gallon coolers, definitely go with the bigger cooler. I got the 10 gallon coolers and can routinely do some big beers at 5gallon batches

I went with Safe-Ale US56, same strain as 1056 I mashed at 122 for 30 minutes, then infused boiling water to get it up to 155 for 60 minutes. I also had quite a bit of DME (4lbs) Gabe- hows the IIPA doing now? I'd like to hear some more about it.

Well primamry finally stoped, 10 days later. OG: 1.084 FG: 1.012 By my calcs that should be around 9.4%abv The brew smelled fantastic, now for another few weeks of waiting. oh well, at least my fridge is stocked with HRR :-)

If I were to use too much rye malt, it can create some sticky sparges. The Flaked rye is in there to help keep the sparge running smoothly. Still bubbling like mad :-D

Well, its been 7 days of fermentation so far. Explosive fermentation, this is the longest I've had a brew ferment like this so far. I have had several brews that would slow down and stop after 5 or 6 days. But this thing is unreal, it's still churning as hard 7 days later as it was the...

The beer gun is awesome. I have used mine on 2 batches so far and it works great!

Thanks Yuri, great build thread btw!

anyone???? Beuhler?
