I guess you could call it an IPA, it's 7% abv, and aggresively hopped. The original recipe used 1oz of chinook @60, 1oz simcoe, and 1 oz cascade @10, 1oz simcoe, and 1oz cascade @0, and a dry hop of the same, 1oz. simcoe, and 1oz cascade. I told the store dude that I would like to back off...

So I visit my LHBS with the intention of duplicating an extract recipe that turned out great for me. In that recipe, I used 1 lb. of Belgian Caramel Pils as a steeping grain. I confessed to the sole LHBS attendant that I couldn't tell a grain that required mashing from a grain that was simply...

I'm not a Sam Adams fan, but I liked that one.

I found that book quite useful and informative. It's a little old fashioned in ways, but the basics and then some are covered thoroughly. (Old fashioned as far as things like yeast autolosis, secondary fermentation, etc. seem to be at odds with most of the advice here.) I say read it, be your...

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! :rockin:

I don't know much (any) about seeds.. but, did someone say Craig? (Craig's Inmate Brew, aka toilet sangria. :cross: )

What are examples of your favorite beer? What commercial beers do you buy?

It's a lot like rapid prototyping/ SLA.

One step is not a sanitizer. It's a great cleaner, I use it for glass because it's not slippery like PBW. It's also advertised as no rinse, and I don't rinse it. I use PBW for all of my plastic, or otherwise messy stuff. (And I rinse the hell out of that awesome, slippery stuff.)

My brother just gave me a big bottle of ska brewing's Decadent IPA. 10% abv...Probably shouldn't drink it now. I'll wait until next weekend. (I've had and enjoyed their Modus Hoperandi)

Thank you for sharing the recipe! Any thoughts about how a lowly extract brewer might adopt the recipe? (Does the cereal actually have to be mashed? Hmm. If so, maybe I'll start mashing sooner than I thought!)

PBW is an awesome cleaner, so easy. It requires rinsing, and be careful with that carboy. PBW is slippery stuff!

Sorry, I have nothing to add about basil. BobbiLynn, I'm intrigued. That cereal is really good (cinnamon and whole wheat, and kashi is not plagued with preservatives...), and I have thought before about using cereal. Please elaborate, or link to your recipe?

Welcome! I found advice here about adding the extract late in the boil that has proven to be great advice. Look around, it's a good place! (..and might I add, Iowa. Iowa. That's cool, I'm from Illinois, and as far as I know, Iowa is the only state that borders Illinois that dosen't hate our...

Welcome! You can get all those beers in Chile? That's cool. Post questions in the forum that likely applies, and you will get all kinds of useful advice!

Welcome, LavaAle!

Please refer back to upthewazu's post #2 in this thread. It's good advise. Happy 90 min. clone!! :mug:

I bottled an experimental LBK batch yesterday. After pitching, I questioned myself about if I had sanitized the spigot or not. I probably did, but I wasn't certain. So I resolved to rack it to my bottling bucket, and bottle from there. I dry hopped with an ounce of pellet hops 5 days prior to...

Ahh. Thank you. It's too late for that. The beer is at FG, and has been in secondary for 4 days, after 3 weeks in primary.
