Welcome. It's a fun, rewarding hobby. Take your time, and don't let things seem like they are too hard or confusing. Ask questions, find a local homebrew club and ask to help out. I found that hands on with the brewing process made things so much easier to understand and to perform...

That's a sexy recipe, not even gonna lie. Only thing I'd change is to switch your 2 minute additions to KO. That's just me. Do what you want, it's your recipe :P I'd love to know how this one turns out. Kef

Hell yeah! I'll have to bring a bottle of our next batch. When that'll be, who knows at this point. I gotta get my friend Bob off his ass to get his chiller fixed so we don't spend so much time cooling off our batches. Cheers!

Ever had Dupont Avril?

Not much man. Yeah, I'd swap them, Simcoe is an incredible aroma/flavor hop, using it as a bittering hop is a waste, IMO, unless you are doing a single hop. Just my pennies man. Edit: I want to try this one, Amarillo+Simcoe = awesome combo.

This is just my .02, but I would use Chinook for the bittering and use the Simcoe for the late addition. I heart Simcoe.

Looks good to me, what's batch size? What yeast? What's mash temp?

I think it'll be sweeter than Two Hearted, that's a lot of crystal malt. I also think it'll be slightly different hop profile, since Two Hearted uses only Centennial in it. Still not a bad recipe. It should come out quite drinkable :P

What kind of whiskey barrels, and what use are they? Price shipped to 43701?

Cascade is a good choice, even for a dry hop. Centennial is more or less like a Cascade on steroids, very floral and grapefruity, although with a higher AA% (less needed for same results). If you are planning on using Cascade exclusively in the boil, I'd keep the trend and use it as the dry...

These are my noob observations: 1. Too much rye. 1-1.5 lbs. should be more than enough. 2. Regardless of whether you change the rye amount or not, you'll want to use rice hulls to prevent a stuck sparge. 1lb or so for that batch. 3. C80 is overkill, C20 and C40 would be a better choice if...

Si señor. Great idea, IMO.

Did you see my suggestion in the car thread? :P And I think this one will probably get brewed man. Sounds better and better the more I look at it :P

Hoss! You hooker you! Figured you'd find me sooner or later.

Thank you sir. I have another recipe for a pale in here (The Color Of This Beer Is Pale Ale) that I had originally planned on brewing, but I've decided to not to brew it right now. I was looking around earlier at other recipes, and saw yooper's House Pale, and played around with it a bit, and...

So, after looking over some of the other recipes on here, and after seeing what I have available, I came up with this revised version of a pale ale, based loosely off Yooper's House Pale: 5 gallon batch 6.5 gallon boil 6.5 lb Marris Otter 1.5 lb Vienna .5 lb C40 .25 Northern Brewer @...

:mug: I'm just using what he gave me as options :P

I'd buy 2oz Falconer, 1oz Columbus, 1oz Amarillo, 1oz Centennial and then I'd do: .5oz Columbus @ 60 .5 of Centennial, Amarillo, and Falconer @ 15 .25 Columbus @ 15 .5 of Centennial, Amarillo, and Falconer @ 5 .25 Columbus @ 5 1oz of Falconer for 7 days dry hop. That's MY opinion on it. I'd...

:mug: Should be tasty. I'm going to do a Citra beer next year sometime. When, dunno.

The S-04 turned out well since Three Floyds supposedly uses an ESB strain for it, where S-04 is more English in character than -05. That said, ZD is an incredible beer, and even if all you make is a Citra Pale Ale instead of a ZD clone, you shouldn't be disappointed.
