Picking the ingredients up to brew this the original way it was written. I'll brew Saturday, and I'm looking forward to this one. Need to have a good everyday after work beer on hand. This seems to fit that role perfect.

The yeast is wlp001. I was really surprised to see it that high also. I'm hoping the gun is just off. It's a good gun, but been around a while. Just in case, I moved it to another cooker area, and will be getting stick on thermometers real soon. Probably too late to worry about this one, but...

Are the high temps caused by the fermentation itself ever taken into consideration? For instance, I have a beer fermenting in a room that has varied 65-67 however, shot with a heat gun, the Carboy is at 78*. It's in strong ferment mode 2nd day. But it's still temp. Just wondering if this is the...

Brewed the original Wayne1 recipe from page 1 tonight. Just a 3.25 gal AG batch. Hit the exact numbers Beersmith said I would with the recipe.Only change is I had a wlp001 here so I used it. .5 oz coriander, and 1oz of sweet orange peel. Tasted amazing going into the fermenter, hope it tastes...

Is it ok to use oxy clean to give a quick wash before using it again? I rinsed it well with hot water after its initial use but was wondering if I should do more.

Will I notice a difference in 10oz. In a 6lb grain bill? Thanks

I'm sorry, I posted this in the wrong spot. I thought I was on the recipe/ingridient area. My bad, I apologize.

Will there be a noticable difference when using Belgian Wheat instead on White Wheat in Blue Moon Clone? We are talking 10 oz. in a 3.25 gal batch. I have Belgian Wheat already here, and even though its cheap, and Id buy the white wheat, my LHBS doesnt have it in. So can I just use what I have...

Love APAs. Right now I have Troegs Pale Ale near the top. Actually I have Troegs brewery near the top. Just a real consistent brewery in my oppinion. Would love to see the recipe. I will use Beersmith to convert it to 3.25 batch size. Thank god for Beersmith, great program.

Dude, if she said Budweiser Id try to do it. I got to start someplace..lol.

Thats a bad ass set up. Electric is the way to go in my opinion. Not that I can get there anytime too soon, but that is awesome.

Over coffee this morning the wife says to me, ÿou seem to have really enjoyed brewing yesterday, do you think if you give me a list and I get you the stuff from the in her words beer store (LHBS), you could try to make a Blue Moon beer? Oh man, wonderful things happen when the wife drinks...

Just some pics of homebrew

Do you have to use a hosting sight to post pictures here? Id like to be able to do that.

Yea I could not be happier with this first attempt. Everything went really smooth and my post boil OG was 1.061, which was higher then the 1.059 that Beersmith had as my target. If the beer turns out as good as the process went, it's going to be a great APA. Thanks for the help.

According to the efficiency calculator on Brewers friend, I hit 81% efficiency, can that be right? I put in the grains and amounts and the wort collected, and the pre-boil gravity, and its saying 81.1%. I was hoping for 70% first shot, if thats correct, Im pretty happy.

Came up a bit short on wort collected after second sparge. I heated extra water so I am going to sparge once more. Im using a FB, probably the dead space?

I have vorlaufed each time so far. I have sparged it once and just stirred in another 2.5 gals and letting it sit for vorlauf. I want to make that trip on bike I ride a C-50T, I can see your face now. But hey, y heels are up...lol. I want a Harley, but Im afraid Id have to sell the drag car to...

Thank you

Everything going good. Sparge water is ready. Im 50 mins in, and last I checked I only dropped 1 deg. Im going to batch sparge in 2 steps. 1 gal and 2.5 gal. I do have on question. Do I have to drain real slow batch sparging like I would if fly sparging?
