Thank you fellers. Very enlightened right now. I had seen a chart and various threads but not the one's provided here. Concise info, much appreciated.

Ok I need some help on this ipa. I tried brewing this again last yesterday and all signs point toward good things. However I tuned into some grain bill details today that confused me. Grains listed as this: Crystal Pale Munich Caramel Then I read this description today, of the same grains...

Thank you Johnnyhitxh. Wise words in there that I'm referencing now for my next recipe. Also note that the batch #1 aged (or is aging) nicely and is now turning some heads. Pretty damn tasty though slightly sweet finish. Gonna reduce the crystal and up the munich...

You know how I can tell...all the misspellings in my previous post.

Green Flash bottles. Has me thinking on red stripe bottles, are they more stout than the GF bottles? I've read all the break downs on CO2 absorption theories and such, same space in a GF bottle compared to a normal longneck bottle but perhaps the GF bottle, due to its shorter profile, produces a...

The winner is recipe #2 as detailed above. Absolutely delicious!! (There's actually none left of this batch, between my friends and I, unless my mom still has a o hold on the few I have her!!) Bottled batch 3 about a week back, the Columbus hopped brew, have yet to taste it, but will definitely...

Thank you fellers!

I have two batches bottled and conditioning. A 3rd batch waiting to be bottled. 3 weeks in the bottle to carbonate and condition is standard from what I've read here. Then there's 4 to 6 days for the bottles to sit in the fridge or on ice in a cooler. Question here is: is the 4 to 6 days...

hahahahahahahahahahahaaha. 4 years later. hahahaha.

Yeah the Two hearted IS great. Butttt it sure could use a little more hop character, just a little in the backbone, and a wallop in the aroma...

Haha! I was thinking the same thing today, as that's gotta be the backbone to the stone ipa and ruination as far as malt profiles go (idid yeast strains for sure) but their clones are stupid simple. 2 row +hops from what I've seen. Favorite IpA though has got to be Deschutes River Brewery...

Most I've done is 6. Millennium northern brewer citra cascade horizon and centennial...To clone the Deschutes River Inversion IPA. I'm interested in a falconers and Columbus and citra combo. Maybe throw some cascade in there too! Dunno how my clone came out yet, bottling in 7 days or...

Thank you Yankeehill! Good to know. I am thinking .5z Columbus and 1z of cascade for DH in that case (on this batch).

When bottling ipa's What are you favorite: A. Carbonation levels to aim for and B. priming agents to use From my simple research i was thinking 2.5 with corn sugar. But then again I have my first batches in fermenters right now and have never bottled before.

In that 6 weeks, how much time is spent in the bottle? I have 3 diff ipa's fermenting now - my first 3 ever and am getting ready to bottle soon. What's the standard wait - 7 days? 14 days?

Does anyone have math on the ultimate multiplication output of yeast, will its environment only allow it to grow so big, to the extent food is available. Simple example - if you pitch 1 billion yeast cells would it only be allowed to grow to 3 billion in a 5 gallon batch whereas if you pitched...

Gravity came in lower than expected due to a poor boil (gotta replace my burner and get more propane!). OG was 1.049. So I added half a pound of clover honey directly to the fermenter. Which hopefully will put me in the mid 5's for abv (wanted low to mid 6's) Went with a Columbus and cascade...
