Yeah I think the other thing was the Target hops I had on hand. I used those in another recipe here and it has the same powerful hoppy flavor even when I tuned the recipe down a notch. I expect that this beer will turn out well with age too. Hopefully I can brew this one again soon but I have...

Sampling my Tripel X recipe from the hydrometer. :0P

When I made it I only used one WLP vial. I was still a green newb and it came out too sweet. The aging time and temp is key on this one. Even though it was sweet it was very close to the original. It just had far less bite to it than I planned. I will do this again again after I move but I...

It actually tastes a lot better now that I quit smoking too. I think that has a lot to do with it as well. I need to buy more supplies so I can make about 10 gallons of this before I have to move and loose my brewhaus facility. :0(

Target Blonde (Centennial Blonde AG Recipe) from another thread.

Actually I must confess that I have to change my mind about my previous opinion regarding this beer tasting like ****. After a week or so more aging this beer is actually quite delicious and the hop bite has weakened to a rather smooth yet enjoyable ale that I can fully appreciate even at 70...

I'm drinking this now while watching my Tripel X blow the bung. It's not a bad beer but I don't really care for it. Tastes like Corona to me.

Yep I know it's a lot. I brewed this today. I added 30 minutes on boil time and it came to 1.079 OG. I pitched 3 quarts yeast starter in it and added a blow off hose with additional carboy. I normally wouldn't use 3# of candi sugar in a beer but this was a special order "good beer with a...

It is for this very reason that I switched immediately to all grain. And I still get raped on the prices because he's the only show in town. His partial mash kits go for $45-$60 or so. The extra cost was for all the additional extract and 1lb of DME. The OG on the kit was 1.080 I think...

I haven't tried that one but I like Danstar because it's solid. My experience has been about 12-15 hours minimum providing temperatures were just right for them if not hydrated before hand. I had some iffy yeast in a carboy once that wouldn't start because it got too cold on the floor 68F was...

I had a similar problem when I recently switched to AG from PM. One thing I do now that I didn't use to do is test not only the gravity but starches to make sure the beer is converted. I've had two batches where the gravity was almost spot on but there were still uncoverted starches that led to...

@Guidry Mine was kinda slow starting too. It took about a full day and a half to finally start kickin the airlock.

I made a stir bar out of a McDonald's straw that I repurposed from a wifi antenna hack from a few years ago. I also got some small button neodymium magnets from Hobby Lobby or Michael's Arts and Crafts. Simply and carefully slide those magnets into the straw and leave about 1mm on the ends...

La Fin du Monde clone...my own recipe.

Actually Japan tried correcting American mistakes on the F-16 and F-14. They built a perfectly balanced and torqued airframe and power plant. The result? They didn't fly. So it's ok to be a little off on those numbers too. :0)

@Calder The hops are Target UK 9.5% AA. I plan on brewing this in the next day or so. I will try to get the recipe up completely but be advised that this is v1 and hasn't been tested yet.

<This is a recipe I'm working on at the moment. Not ready or tested!> Grain Bill: 10# 2 Row UK 1# Aromatic (Belgian) 1.5 oz Target UK 9.5% (Hops) 1 Wyeast WLP575 used for Starter 3# Belgian Candi Sugar (Home made) Optional: 2# UK 2 Row for yeast starter minimash (DME was ridiculous price)...

I just bottled this today. It smelled a bit skunky like that Corona stuff. Didn't taste bad though. Time will tell in the next few days but this seems like a beer that will be better enjoyed ice cold instead of room temperature. (SWMBO won't drink ice cold beers. It's a Belgian/European thing)

Ah yes 1oz each.
