http://www.cchomebrew.com/Recipes/sharkstooth_ipa_clone_extract_re.htm Thats whats in my primary now.

Someone puked in your primary.

haha thats awesome, what is that exactly over your siphon? BTW thanks for the tips guys, looks like Ill do the 1oz of each.

Ok, well my first IPA is in the primary and Im really thinking about dry hopping in the secondary. I just wanted some ideas on what kind and amount to use. I dont want to go overboard on my first batch but I do want the added bite. Ingredients: 6.6# (2 cans) Amber Liquid Malt Extract...

OG was around 1.060 and the yeast strain was S-04 Dry Ale Yeast.

Made my first IPA and finished brewing it yesterday. I put it in my closet with an airlock. Came home today with the airlock all gummed up and beer laying on the lid of my primary. This is a LOT more active than the hefe that I made prior. I put on a blow off tube into a bucket and it is just...

Ya, I was going to say apricot or peach.

IDK if you've ever been to a bar that had a blueberry ale and they put blueberries in it. Its always a pain in the ass since you have to keep your top like 1/8" from the inside of the glass and basically siphon in your sip of beer while keeping the berries at bay.

I think it would float and get in the way all too much while trying to drink.

Figure Ill throw in an update. Its been in the primary for 2 weeks and I took a reading just now and its down to 1.012 which is right on the button. Took a sip of the test sample and all I can say is the taste is right on. No off flavors and a great smell. Off to bottle and have a nice...

not much at all...its a 6.5 gallon bucket and it was fine. It was fermenting at lower temps and stayed in the 70 range for the first week. and this is the exact kit I used http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_42_163&products_id=318 with the WLP300 yeast.

Im sure a google search will turn up plenty of write ups but I thought it would be better to get my info from the source. I'm still a novice and this doesn't mean I want to start brewing AG next week...I just want to inform myself for later down the line and it seems pretty interesting. Thanks.

thanks for the tips and info everyone. I went with a 2.5 gal/2.5 lb LME for 45 min with the 3/4 oz. hallertau Took off the heat and added about 3.5 lb of LME instead of the full 4.5 left and tossed the 1/4 oz hops for the last 5 min. Also, basically hit the goal OG of 1.050 which landed at...

no chiller at the moment, 2.5 gal is prob the most i can boil right now with the pot to leave enough room to protect against boil over easily. edit: I do chill, just with a sink full of ice water

it calls for 2.5 gal As I was reading most threads on this topic you were the person I wanted to contact. I saw your recipe posted in a thread but it just said to add the hops and not how much...any suggestions?

I did some research. The recipe calls for 7lb wheat extract and then boiling for 60 min while adding 3/4 oz hallertau at the start of the 60 min and 1/4 oz in the last 5 min for aroma. I plan on adding around 3 lb LME at start and adding only about 1/2 oz. of the hallertau at start and using...

I've read that some people add their extract later in the boil so the wort has a lighter color. Any suggestions on when to add the extract to my Hefe? The AHS kit has the extract added then boiled for 60 min.

Well I have only made one batch so far and some things like this got me thinking. Here is the exact technique that I used. Procedure: Begin by soaking the cans of LME in a bowl or pot of warm water to make it easier to get out of the can later. Fill your brewpot (preferably a...

Quick question on how you guys determine how much water to throw the wort on top of. The last recipe I had was 2 gallons into the boil and 3 into the primary. The first observation is that obviously some water boils off but you also add liquids such as the LME. My question is...would i be...

ya...i heard WLP300 is good for a more banana taste. I also live in MA so getting it at temps around 68 in the basement shouldn't be a problem. and a blowoff tube is duly noted :ban:
