I am making a rye IPA with lots of hops and rye (at least 25%). I have Chinook hops on hand and will definitely be using them for bittering, and I also definitely want to use some Amarillo for flavor/aroma. My question is: would you suggest flavoring exclusively with Amarillo, or would it be...

I have simply put yeast in jars and reused months later several times, always with great results.

Thanks mredge. The problem I am facing is that I am utterly clueless as to how to set the damn thing. I will take a look at the Auber instructions tonight and see if they help.

Davide, I'm trying to use a Sestos PID to do sous vide, but can't figure out the device at all. The instructions are basically worthless. Can you walk me through the setup process? I need it to turn my crock pot on when the temp is below the set value and off when above. Thanks.

Thanks, guys. I will try some star anise. Great signature, rewster.

+1 for Fat Head's Headhunter IPA, one of the finest IPAs I've ever had. East End Brewing's Big Hop is fairly easy to find on tap in Pittsburgh and quite solid, but they don't bottle. There's also a new brewery called Full Pint; their Chinookie IPA is highly variable, ranging from mediocre to...

Brewed this in June, bottled in September. Took my first taste yesterday - WOW. This is at least as good as any commercial wee heavy I've ever had. Thanks for the recipe.
