It looks good, but I might consider backing off a bit on the darker malts, between the carafa, crystal, chocolate and coffee, you're looking at almost 20% of your grist.

Wish I could help, but I didn't start brewing until I left Jersey.

If your posts are airtight, as they should be, you don't need to hook up the serving lines. I typically don't hook up my beer lines until the kegs are carbed.

You are correct. The beer I was trying to loosely model was Terrapin's India Brown, but the recipe was really designed to make it to style.

Welcome, I'm originally from Mt. Laurel.

I had the same problem where the hazelnut flavor didn't mellow. The biggest problem is that all extracts are not created equal - if you're trying out a new brand, definitely err on the side of less, you can always add more.

I've never heard of it, but since it's proprietary, you may have trouble finding it. I would just go with Northern Brewer, you can find that almost anywhere.

I've have had long lagtime issues even with the lots that weren't recalled. I've switched to US-56 because of it.

Sodium metabisulfite is not an ideal sanitizer, I would recommend Iodophor or StarSan.

Generally, no. If it's infected, it's infected. Did you get a gusher when you opened it?

I've done this recipe a couple times. What I would recommend: - Make a larger sour mash than they recommend. I think they recommend 1 pint - I would do about a gallon or so. I found that 1 pint really didn't do much. - I would add some plain (unflavored) yogurt to the sour mash. Make sure...

Maybe you can use Tris instead of 5.4 in your mash... /Science is cool

I'd rather just watch the old one. I can't imagine it can be any better.

We got about 6 inches here. I'm having a party tonight, we'll see how many people show up.

Agreed, any of the 3 C's (Cascade, Centennial or Columbus) are great.

Best of luck to her, it's a great thing she is doing.

I'll be at the next one, I'm moving out there in late May/early June.

Hey man, I'm a scientist, I already calculated for both temperatures. I've got a stainless propane hose now, I learned my lesson.

Good idea, but you can adjust your strike temp for the temp of your grain if it is 35 degrees. I'll bring my computer with my excel database if anyone needs to use it. I'll try not to burn down your house like I almost did to Boston's.
