Oh and Hopvine, I think I need to learn more about doing that. I tried once and i didnt get anything. If you have any threads or articles that might explain it better to me, I will def. do this next time I brew it. And I will be brewing it again!

Im gonna end up doing 6-7 days hitting right in the middle of everyones suggestions. And I think I'm gonna carb it at 2.4 to allow for any loss of carbonation to be counted for, that way I end up with plenty of carbonation till the last bottle. After pulling it into the secondary, I believe it...

Dry hopped today, any suggestions on length of dry hopping and carbonation level I should use?

I am now finished with the brew. So here is the stats... **also mashing- mashed in with 168 F water, added grain and it dropped to 152. Stayed between 152 and 151 the entire mash. Then Mashed out with 178 F water ~1.5 gallons. (I know, not enough water. Ill know better for next time. I almost...

OK everyone, Brewday is is less than 12 hours, and I need some advice! I am planning a 6 gallon batch, so I plan to use a 5.25 gallon mash at 164 F for strike water. That way I hit around 152 for my long term mash temp. I also plan to have a pot of water on heat near by to add to the mash tun if...

So I should do a starter Friday then re pitch again in my bottling bucket with my corn sugar?

I would defiantly be down for a swap, and you were right about the honey. Adjusted my recipe to a lower crystal and no Munich. Upped the honey and seems like everything is exactly where I want it. So I'll be brewing it this Saturday. I have a LHBS, and they have everything I need, good hop...

Sleepyemt, what was your mash schedule? Single Infusion? Your hop schedule looks pretty similar to mine, the only thing I am really gonna do differently is using hersbucker hops. In their email they said they uses that particular type, and I think I will add some Amarillo to my dry hop as well...

I plan on mashing for 90 min. I want a good extraction soni figured low and slow would make for a good overall mash. As far as the honey goes I wanted to add just enough because I know that honey and dry out the mouth feel and from what I remember about this beer it wasn't too dry. I'm also a...

Ok so I figured up a new hop schedule base upon the last email sent by bells. That email states the kind of hops added in which I did a bit of reasearch on the different types of hops used and I tries to use them based upon their buttering or aroma profile. Tell me what you think of this one...

Any idea what I should use then? I wanna get this one as close as possible?

In all reality it will be closer to 65-70 and hopefully I'll hit the mark of 1.086 OG which I have read it what Bell's hit. And the IBU's I'm trying to keep in the high 60's to low 70's. So my only question mark is the SRM which I can only guesstimate. And I'll make sure to keep the batch size...

Looking at around 65-75% efficiency and around 5 gallons maybe 5.5 if I get a little over zealous.
