I was trying to do a similar thing with 4 Pines Pale recently, and you're right that it seems to push the base grain down to an uncomfortably low level *unless* they're using something like Midnight Wheat. If they do, then a 5G batch with 7.50lb Maris Otter (85%) 0.45lb UK Crystal 40 (5%)...

If you're primarily looking to simplify your first brewing experience I'm not sure that SMaSH is the direction I'd take. In BIAB mixed grain bills are (by and large) treated just like a single grain - milled, mashed, and maybe sparged. Similarly, brewday complexity in hopping is much more...

Dang ... no love in New England. So how about taking the list as thematic rather than specific? Your favorite APA/IPA/DIPAs that I wouldn't see in California.

Package sent to @hezagenius

Riding my motorbike into Siena at sunset with Van Morrison playing on the headset is one of those memories of a lifetime.

Another vote for 8oz over 1lb at the same price per oz. In terms of the source, that has to be balanced against price and freshness; all things being equal I'd take EKG over any others, but all things are almost never equal.

Holy crap! Brewed this back in February, 6 weeks in primary, 7.5 months hidden away from me bulk-aging, and just now kegged to carb and then bottle for winter gifts. IT TASTES AMAZING!

I didn't take it as a-holery, just that I might have missed the thread culture for not having read it all. I lived in Vermont for a couple of years in the '90s (between London and Oakland) but haven't been back in waaaaay too long, and this seemed like a great opportunity to sample what's...

Have I committed some grave faux pas that I need to read 810 pages to uncover and understand?

Not the most original MAW, but I'm interested in any Pale Ales, IPAs or DIPAs from: - Alchemist - Hill Farmstead - Lawson’s Finest Liquids - Maine Beer - New England Brewing - Tree House - Trillium

Let's try this again ... I'll get this.

I managed to pick up a 20lb tank cheap on Craigslist and swap it for a 10lb and a 5lb at my gas supplier.

I'll take 1977Brewer's challenge.

It reads: I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

RIS All-Grain

No-chill is great, though you need to have containers that can withstand both the heat of the boiling wort and the pressure developed when it cools (so not your regular brew bucket). These work well and I use them as fermentors too once the wort has cooled (though I'd love to find a 7G version...

Most excellent Alaskan sampler to greet my return home - thanks @GluStick!

Shipped.

The one thing that doesn't scale is the starting volume - 2G & 6G - and the extra water (relatively) in the first case allows for more alpha acid isomerization.

I should be shipping on Friday - one more beer to collect first.
