there are many variables that will affect what your ABV is going to be. I know NB shows the target OG, you should be able to get a feel for how strong a beer should be based upon that.

I checked it today, it is still at 1.030 I suppose the airlock bubbling could be the gas coming out of suspension since the brew is warmer now. Tastes pretty sweet still too. I think I will leave it warm for another week than cold crash it.

I'm digging the box joint work, mxracer!! And a tractor to boot!

I brewed it on 1-1-11. Two weeks later my gravity was at 1.030. I had been fermenting in the basement, 63 degrees. I brought up to the computer room, which is about 70, and gave it a good stir on 1-16-11. It has been bubbling quite a bit since then. I will probably take a sample this...

I dislike overly bitter IPA's and overly grassy ones. I prefer a nice malt to mine as well. A few of my favs are: Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA Widmer Deadlift IIPA Pliny Ninkasi Maiden the Shade. I also enjoy Stone and Lagunitas regular IPA's.

I'll be doing an american wheat, hopped with Citra, along with a Kolsch, and Edworts PA. Probably throw a saison in there somewhere too.

I stayed at the Flamingo last February, and spent many a night down at the Sin City bar. Last year they had a great seasonal IPA, done with centennial and Willamette hops. It was totally different than the typical citrus bomb. A lot of the stuff seemed undercarb'd, but it is being piped quite...

I'll have an american wheat, pale ale, IPA and a malty winter brew on tap. Should be something for everyones tastes. The wheat is my main brew for the game, fairly low ABV and easy to drink.

Revvy, I too have wondered what gives Lagunitas brews their distinctive taste, there is a common thread amongst almost all of their brews. I too would like to pinpoint it.

Well, I did get around to brewing this back at the end of October, and am finally drinking it. I tweaked the recipe a bit from my original post Recipe: Deadlift Imperial IPA Clone Style: Imperial IPA TYPE: All Grain Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Batch Size: 5.0 gal...

I used the white styrafoam that has a slick plastic coating on it. I cut it on my tablesaw, which worked very well. I am wondering if spray adhesive would be enough to make it stick. If not, gorilla glue should do the trick.

user name : beeboy Thanks!

it will be fine. No problem running less capacity than your transformer can put out.

do I have to pick one? Big Sky's Ivan the Terrible RIS or Deschutes Mirror Mirror

what type of yeast is it?

Ooh lala, J, that thing is sexy!

80mm 43CFM 12v .29A I had a larger one in there, it was blowing so much that I had massive amounts of air blowing out around my lid.

Last I checked, the coffin was running about 10 degrees warmer than the kegs. The wiring and controller are all hidden by the collar and its Styrofoam insulation.

Now I realize what the SWMBO was grumbling about all the time :)

All I can say is keep watching. Learn what they go for and wait it out until you find a deal. New ones cost $$$ but you can find steals on used ones if you are patient. I started gathering my parts and pieces about 3 months before I got started on the build.
