Me too when it's an obvious scam... ...but...in this case you can buy it for 99 cents? So who cares if it's $13 and free shipping or $1 and $12 shipping?

I was wondering how many the auction started with. The guy has other hops for sale on ebay too, but the rest are all very average/normal prices. This one stood out. Maybe a mistake, maybe he just got a gigantic huge stash of cascade, I dunno. I would've bought all 4 of them but I really...

I am not selling these personally, but I did buy 1 ;) Just thought i'd share. $13 for 1lb is a pretty good deal no? (That is including shipping). It's $18 at my LHBS...

I'll be brewing this over the weekend, can't wait. I picked up some crushed coriander and the McCormicks dried valencia orange today. These particles seem pretty fine/small...do they really need to be strained out? Seems like they might dissolve right into the wort after a couple of minutes...

I am fairly sure the tastybrew calc doesn't come up with correct IBU's when you are doing a partial boil. Since you are boiling in 3 gallons and topping off to 4g I believe your utilization will be far lower and the IBU's will be 30-40% lower. I had this problem with my first batch where I was...

Hmmm I must investigate this product. Sounds a lot easier than the cleanup! Thanks!

I say always but i've only done 2 batches...haha. I know that one answer is "get a bigger pot" but alas my electric stove isn't a big fan of bigger pots or bigger volumes of water. Essentially I am doing a partial mash and ultimately boiling 5-6 quarts in an 8 quart pot. When I first hit...

:bump: Anyone else? Would love an extra version of this.

Good times - I will be curious to see that. In my version I am projecting to use about 60% Crystal 60 / 40% Crystal 120 (Crystal representing about 17% of the total) and it brings the SRM to 13ish

So did this come out as "Amber" as you expected? I feel like with the Light DME and 1 pound of Medium Crystal (Is that Crystal 60?) you might be at the very low end of the SRM scale for Amber. I am planning a pretty similar batch for my 2nd brew and as I tweak the recipe I keep finding...

beginner question...why Light DME rather than Amber DME?

When you add the hops at the start of the boil and let them brew for 60 mins, those add the bittering. When you add the hops towards the end of the boil, those don't contribute much bittering but will add aroma. Ain't nothing wrong with using the cascade for both :)

Due to only having an 8qt pot at the moment, I am unable to do a full boil for my 2 gallon batches. So my first go round I did 1.25 gallons, seemingly had a ton of boil off, and then topped off at the end to make my 2 gallons (barely had enough boiled/cooled water left). Is that any...

Not sure exactly what you are looking for - but here is a brew template if that is what you are looking for: http://www.radicalbrewing.com/rbws1.pdf

Same for me - I am a n00b and doing 2 gallon recipes right now. I only have an 8qt pot so my boil volume is 1.25 gals. I did a 45 minute boil and then topped off the last couple quarts. Glad I didn't do 1.5 gals also because I STILL nearly had a boilover! Here is a related question - what...

I pretty much did 0 kits. I got a Mr Beer with West Coast Pale Ale. After reading reviews I quickly realized I don't want to make their basic WCPA - so after reading this forum I tossed the booster for DME and decided to add in a 1/4 pound of American 2-row and Crystal 20 just to see what...

Think these would be good finishing hops for Aroma? Maybe some dry hopping? I see that my LHBS has them.

Success! I think... :) I went with Crystal 20 and things mostly went smoothly. I did end up trying to Hydrate the yeast in 120 degree water (woops!). Who would've thunk boiled water could stay so warm after so long! haha. So yea I tossed that batch and then cooled the water with an...

Looks delicious on paper (is that possible?)

Sweet thanks. You are right...as i've read frequently on this forum "Worst case scenario is you end up with beer!" haha. I guess my only real worry was that I don't know what exactly is in this WCPA extract kit (but I don't want it to go to waste). I know it is hopped, but i'm sure it's...
