I usually store gallon growlers uncarbonated, topped off with private preserve to keep from oxidizing. Then Ill force carbonate as needed. A bit unorthodox, but its been working out pretty well, and while I have a handful of corny kegs, its even easier than kegging IMO.

Brewed six 5-gal batches monday. Took about 14 hours start to finish, not counting grinding the grain ahead of time. In addition to the AG recipes above, I did two extract kits. Octane IPA from Midwest, and Rogue's I2PA from MoreBeer.

Tweaked the recipes a but more. Pulled out a bit more caramel from the IPAs and replaced with munich. Still going to try my luck with the cluster/orbit combo and see how it works out.

I tend to buy grains in ten pound bags online to avoid ridiculous shipping costs, even if you buy 5 at a time. You can choose pre crushed or not. I tend to go pre-crushed on base malts, but whole on the specialty grains. Oh, and a large pet food container holds 50 lbs of grain for me. I...

Galaxy, Citra and Mosaic are all on my to-buy list, but I haven't picked any up yet. Anyway, I have updated the recipes in the original post. I added some hops at flameout or possibly hopstand after its cooled a bit. Also took out a bit of crystal in the amber, but I still wanted that sweet...

Thanks. I'm really not too keen on adding juices directly to the beer. But pineapple was one of the reasons I was interested in trying cluster hops: I have an irrational aversion to dry hopping, so I tend to avoid it in my recipes, at least for now. Theres been times life gets in the way...

Thanks for the reply. Ill Drop the crystal down a bit. I had used aromatic last time I did an amber IPA, but I still had just as much cara. I simply omitted the aromatic and brought the gravity back up with 2row. I was definitely going for sweet though. I hear you on the galena and...

Hi All - I'm brewing four new AG recipes this weekend, and would love some thoughts. These are brand new recipes, not necessarily based on anything. Just trying to throw different things against the wall and see what sticks. I've got pretty good assortment of grains and hops, so if you...

I do three concurrent batches in 8 gallon kettles. The burners aren't perfectly centered under each kettle, but I have no problem bringing it to a boil fairly quickly. I believe they are 15K 18K 15K burners, and its a 36" range. I cant even imagine doing one batch at a time anymore, it just...
