This is an excellent idea, I'll have to try this with cascade and another with columbus sometime soon.

I ended up making this on my fishing trip a few weeks ago and was unhappy with my OG, it was close to 1.040. I think my issue was with my sparge water temperature being too low. After 8 days, I racked it to secondary and decided to try this again and use the yeast cake from the first batch...

I'll be brewing this over the weekend as well while on my annual fishing trip that I do with SWMBO's brother & father. I don't get to see her father often and I have been wanting to have him over for a brew for a while since he gave me a lot of gear that he used when he extract brewed about 30...

Indyking, yeah it's the same recipe pretty much. If you look back at page two of this thread, you will see why I mentioned that it actually made it to the basement to ferment this time. I may end up racking to secondary in my one remaining glass carboy to free up my bucket fermenter to do the...

I'm not sure if it will clean up during conditioning or not. I did my second attempt at this last Friday night, it went very well and I even managed to get it all the way to the basement this time. It's down there bubbling away and hovering around 66F. I'll update how it's looking when I go...

You would be very lucky if they are the twist-off style. I would have to think that if he is drinking that much beer, they would probably be of the cheaper BMC beers.

Man, it sure does suck to be sick. You might be better off picking up a case of the 22 oz. to bottle with instead of buying a case of whatever and trying to drink it by then. Just a thought though, I'm sure it would work out either way. Over in my neck of the woods, I'm making another pass at...

I think that I was just unlucky and that it was a freak accident. I have one glass carboy left and if I end up using it someday, I will be extremely careful. Let us know how yours ends up turning out.

Well... I did my brew over the weekend and everything went well up to the point where I was taking the full carboy to the basement to put it in my fermentation chamber. I did the batch in two boils of three gallons each, which I am glad that I did because I don't think I would have been...

Thannks Groo and Indyking! I'll have to make sure I read the later chapters throughly. I think I'll go with the multiple boils for my first batch as well, I'd hate to try it all in one large boil and find out that I don't have a beefy enough burner to get the job done or that I cannot get it...

I'm glad you posted your boil results from following the instructions on the Cincinnati Pale Ale. I have everything gathered to brew my first batch ever this weekend and I plan on following the same instructions. I will let you know how my boil goes. I was considering doing my boil with the...
