Ok, guilty pleasure would have to be Hawaii 5-O. Terrible show. Great scenery. SWMBO is from Hawaii and she has to get her Hawaii fix to be sane. Grace Park isn't bad looking either. It's tripped out to me how a lot of the old "Lost" cast members are hanging out in Hawaii and filming stuff...

I've been following the thread for a while. Jeez! It's like I just read paragraph from a Pulitzer novelist or something. What a critique! It's like I'm there sharing the glass with you! Nicely done....both of you.

So, funny story. 1 week in the bottle and I wanted to see if that yeasty taste I experienced at bottling was gone. Yesterday I finished the last of my fall DIPA off and cracked open a bottle of the Haus pale ale just to try. I couldn't taste ANYTHING! I guess the head cold I have is worse...

Gotta give you props on starting with all grain 1st. I started with extract then made the plunge to all grain recently. Anyway, nicely done!

Congrats! Good looking beer. Welcome to a whole new way of life (or a different perspective on beer at least)!

Shoots, I'll pay for your premium membership if it helps spread the wealth a little easier (if that's what you have in mind). Congrats!

1.5 weeks into the bottle and slightly warm (because I couldn't wait for it to completely chill) and this beer is amazing! The hop notes are fantastic. The malt, dead on with the original! Awesome beer! Thanks for the recipe.

I thought I replied but turns out I didn't. I ended up hitting 1.012. The fermentation was pretty robust. After one day, it bubbled out all the vodka in my airlock. Had to refill the bugger.

14 days

I got my Thomas faucet (and everything else I needed) from Rebel Brewer. Reasonable prices and really good packaging. I'd use them again.

Just finished bottling it. The sample I tasted was quite yeasty. I've used Notty before, and this was probably the coolest I've fermented it. Stayed at 65-66 the whole time. I guess we'll see after a few weeks in the bottle.

Bottled my DFH 90 clone yesterday. Tasted great already and huge hop aromas. Got EdWorts Haus pale ale to bottle soon. Just need to get more bottles.

No joke about the potent brew. Just like the original! We should rename it to DFH fermentor-bomb-clone 90.

Just bottled this after 2 weeks in the secondary. Amazing aroma and taste was wonderful! After all my fermentation woes, this beer turned out great so far. Can't wait for it to carb up. This will be a great beer to crack open after my daughter is born (due date 28 dec). Thank you!

Sweet set up. I just brewed this for the 1st time. So far I like the results. What did your brew guy say about the isomerization? What does that do in terms of flavor? Sounds interesting.

Gonna give this a whirl. I need a good, easy drinking house beer. All out if ginger beer from the summer

Is that for like a 50 gal batch?

Gonna try EdWort's Bee Cave Brewery's Haus Pale Ale. Need a good, easy drinking beer when I don't feel I an IPA (which is rare when I think about it). But I like to have options.

My temps were pretty good during fermentation. Pretty stable at 65-67 (which is good for me). In the summer, I was fermenting around 70-72. I know you like to ferment at lower temps, Jmo88, which probably creates a bit purer flavor proflie, almost like a lager. The only esters I've noted so...

Ok, 2 1/2 weeks into the bottle and I had to give one a try. The malt flavor is delicious. It melds well with the vanilla. For me, the cinnamon and fresh ginger come through as a slight heat in the carbonation background. Like an earlier poster, my beer has a strong Etoh taste. Maybe the...
