OK Making the Pumpkin Ale for the first time and rep itching the previous yeast for the first time. I am underway as I type this. My big question is this. I have recently made two brews. First brew I bottled two weeks ago was an American IPA, it had a high gravity of 1.063 and finished out well...

This is a local favorite in Eastern NC

Dito except I used Cascade and Amarillo to bitter and used 2 oz of Citra to Dry Hop Then alas no Citra to be found that was any longer affordable so next winter I'll try this again.

Finished the brew last night with a buddies rig. Ended with 10.8 gal at 1.063 Hop schedule was 60 min - one oz. summit and one oz. nugget 15 min - one oz. nugget 10 min - one oz. nugget 7 min - one oz. nugget Flame out -one oz. cascade Yeast - US05 Took off around six hours

FG was 1.018 Nice Red Ale Citra to make you linger Nice head retention sparkled One Growler left and time will tell how it ages? A little sweet but the Hops balanced the mouth feal and flavor I would make this again but might try the US05 yeast

great gonna use US05 trying for dryer FG the 30 min hop change ? sorry not getting the content of your suggestion. Move that to 60 min as well of perhaps 45 min? Anyone have comments about the Summit or Nugget Hops for this style/ Thank you in advance / brewing tonight AL a.k.a...

Thank You for your input! So move the addition hop schedule to 20 min to 15min leave 10 min leave 5 min 3 min to zero or flame out How about the 30 min? should that be a longer period / say 45 min Thx again

Thanks a lot for your replies. New to all this, with limited success thus far. Mash temp around 150 Cascade dry hop Tell me more about the summit hops. I used the nugget after reading Mr. Malty's late hop additions. Hop Aroma and low cohumulone Varities of Hops. If the hop additions in...

Make a half and half with a good strong porter or stout from your next brew.

Sounds like this could yield many samples. Well count me in! I am a noob and so far only one kit Stout and a partial mash that turned out like a red Pale Ale I'll call this brew SOBIPA (Southern Outer Banks) Equipment Electric stove - enamel canning pot would go to 4 gal then add one...

RESULTS Finished clean, red/brown, nice carb, lace that clings, bubbles to the last gulp. Taste is like a Pale Lager. Dry hopping with Citra hops was a nice note to an already good beer. Thanks for the input it kept me on track. Cheers

Ok took gravity and it's 1.08 and I started at 1.6 So it's chugging along Still, but I like the taste and have added 2 ounces of Citra Hops for the dry hop. It was still making bubbles and I put it back in the swamp bath. So next Sunday I'll bottle. Did I say. It tasted good? Really excited...

I needed a little more volume to reduce the OG of the Cali Steam that's now in the primary. I sparged to hop bags with 70 degree water to stretch the love. I'll let you know how it turns out. Just made sense? I on the other hand Am a total noob! I saw your recipe and saved it, looks like a nice...

Well first of all have a lot of fun! That's the prime objective. Sounds like you have stepped out of the box and now want to Make an original brew. Sooo get it on. You have what you need to make Ale, so call it that. You have a month or so to decide which style it most resembles. Those...

Correct Got blanked yesterday but have several more days set aside for the run.

Did hook a monster Ray the size of a 68 Buick hood, not a Manta though. Very white firm flesh that tastes great anyway you cook it but Blackened is my favorite. The fish billy on the console seat is very nessesary. Some of these fish have been known to break ankles knock out center consoles or...

Took off Monday for my first fishing excursion 4-30-12 Off to a good start 58.8 lb Cobia

Just an update. The beer has slowed, expectedly as of day day 10 I have taken the advice of fellow members and some local buddies. I placed the Ale Pail in a swamp bath, replacing the frozen bottles every 12 hours. The lager yeast is chugging along at 63 - 64 degrees and may have to stay ther...
