Here's my situation- visiting my future in laws. I find outside a tub of cans of Denver Pale Ale that have been sitting out for about two months. So, I know cans are fine in the sunlight. But will the heat changes over time and having just literally sat outside for two months have ruined...

I just bottled my Pale Ale recipe which used Cascade and Nelson. I dry hopped w/ two oz of Nelson. Bottling day sample was amazing - by far the best tasting brew at this stage I've made. Aroma was so good..... can't wait till it's ready.... mmmmmm

Are you doing extract or all-grain? Either way, you could just add a lbs or two of dry extract. Since it's a IIPA, adding some hops to make sure it balances isn't all that risky. Just plug it in a program to see if you have enough IBUs. Alternatively, you could add a lbs or two of honey...

Try and get one of the Stone Enjoy By IPAs. Was pretty amazing.

Great. Makes it a pretty easy decision - 2oz of Nelson it is! Thanks!

I'm curious how the 3 oz of Nelson dry-hopping worked out. I've got a Nelson/Cascade pale ale going right now that I'm going to dry-hop today. I have 2oz of Nelson and 1oz of Cascade; trying to determine what to use. My initial thought was just to do 2oz of Nelson to highlight that hop more...

I like Belgians because you really have to think about it. You get so many flavors that are different from anything else out there. I run towards any beer that is Belgian/sour/wild/farmhouse etc. It helps to have a local beer bar (100+ taps) that keeps a good amount of Belgians in stock at...

My understanding is that a low OG would correlate with less ABV, and less time for fermentation as there is less work for the yeast to do. However, this does not necessarily reflect conditioning. Longer conditioning times let the yeast clean up some by products, but the fermentation stage is over.

19,750 + 5 gal pale ale = 19,755

Tonight I had the pleasure of enjoying an Anchorage Bitter Monk Double Style IPA (w/ Brettanomyces). A very complex beer that had a ton of different flavors. I could taste a lot of different things going on; a lot of hops following by the sourness of the Brett. When I looked it up on...

Absurdly delicious.

Just finished brewing my first brew that I devised the recipe for myself. Recipe was as follows: Boil volume - 6.25 gallon Steeping: 1lbs crystal 60L .5lbs cara-pils Extract: 4 lbs light DME 3.3 lbs gold LME (late addition @ 20 min during boil) Hops: 1oz cascade 60 .5 nelson sauvon 30 1oz...

Sounds like both of you need some kind of temperature control. Fermenting at those temps is risking off-flavors from the yeast producing esters. My first batch (IPA) climbed up to about 75 on the stick on thermometer. It definitely had some strong banana flavors, which have mellowed a bit...

1) Flying Dog Single Hop Nelson IPA 2) Green Flash Palate Wrecker IPA 3) Stone Enjoy By IPA 4) The Bruery Sour in the Rye 5) Stone Arrogant Bastard Many others would be contenders if I could have had them more than once...

Mine has leaked at the connections, but simply takes a quick tightening with a screwdriver to stop. From LHBS. Leaked outside of kettle, so not a big deal in my experience.

Why would you want to mix in the yeast? New to me. I thought our goal when pouring homebrew was to leave the yeast on the bottom....

I agree with the above post suggesting patience after bottling. My first batch got up to 75 on the stick on thermometer. Definitely had some very strong ester flavors when bottling, but has gotten better with time. Still can tell in the one I'm drinking now (mostly in aroma), but not a ruined...

So far I've brewed three extract kit batches (3rd in primary as we speak) and have already been getting the itch to break out of the kit mold and make my own recipe. I've settled on doing a easy-drinking pale ale. What I've come up with: 4 lbs light dry extract 3.3 lbs pale liquid...

Was at my local beer mecca (102 taps) and the bartender gave me the final sip of someone else's bottle, saying I had to try it. Needless to say, based on the date, I had to buy a bottle of my own. Delicious.
