I went with the Pliny the Elder mini-mash from AHS. This was only my fourth batch of homebrew, and it went easily. I would recommend you go the mini-mash route rather than completely extract. I'll be popping my first bottle this weekend, and can't wait!!! :rockin:

The warm summer months are approaching, and I'm interested in a departure from the IPA and IIPA's I've been making thus far. I enjoy the quaffability (is there such a word?) of Irish Red Ales, but at the same time I prefer them a little more hopped than the ones I've had. Has anyone made the...

I'm with ya - I am planning on my next brew to be an Irish Red as I want something quaffable as we get into the warm weather here in Georgia. I however am a hophead, and many Irish Reds are very suppressed from a hop standpoint. I love several of the Three Floyds beers, but haven't had the...

I bottled mine eight days ago, and I'm dying waiting for it to be ready. I find the 1-2-3 schedule works well for me: 1 week primary, 2 weeks secondary, 3 weeks in the bottle. I also wouldn't stress about the dry hopping schedule. The AHS clone that I brewed calls for a ton of hops which I...

Ah Indianapolis - I spent my first 36 years living there. This isn't a recommendation for a wide tap selection, but it's a ringing endorsement for a Broad Ripple establishment. Chef JJ's Backyard. I am a Big Green Egg enthusiast, and Chef JJ has opened a private venue where he's cooking...

Netflyer - thanx for your feedback. My partial mash temp hovered around 155, but ranged from 151-155. It was not a full boil - the wort boil was in a 22 Qt container. The kit called for dilution to 5.25 gallons. .I should have measured the OG at 5 gallons before topping off. Live and learn...

I bottled my AHS Pliny the Elder clone recipe yesterday. OG was only 1.065 (the kit had a target of 1.074), and the FG was 1.010 (vs. 1.014). This was the partial grain kit. Taste and odor are promising. Any thoughts on why my initial and final numbers are low?

Nothing fancy regarding my glassware of choice. Here's my standard British pub glass with Tetley's logo on the side (and containing my very first homebrew - a Dogfish Head 60 minute clone).

Thanks for this link. Stone IPA is my next clone effort, and this is a good starting point. Whenever in SoCal I try to make a trip to Escondido as I like the food, the brews, the ambiance.

I have helped two others in the past to make homebrew, and it was time for me to go it alone. I decided to pursue a partial-grain Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA clone. One week primary fermentation, two weeks secondary... Three weeks in the bottle before tasting (man did that time pass...

Wow that's a major trub deposit in the fermentor. I see that on deck is a Sierra Nevada Torpedo clone. I'm interested in making the same thing as my next effort. Can you post your recipe and/or tell me where you got it? Roudy
