You will love those beers!

Belgian Pale Ale and related variants are my favorite style.

use MORE hops!

I'm pretty sure this is a higher gravity recipe than the original beer, but that was my intent. I'm ultra happy with how it tastes, but I haven't compared it to the original. If you look at my first paragraph, all your questions are answered in it. And yes, Wrasslers is SO SO SO SO GOOD...

I'm wondering the same thing...

I tried the Wrasslers XXXX Stout at the Porterhouse brewpup in dublin and loved it. I thought it was a truly delicious stout, and when I found a bottle in Boston with the ingredients listed, (what kind of hops etc), I bought it and now this is my recipe based on that beer. I had no idea what...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, appreciate it! Brew on!

I really loved it before and I think this years tastes great.

I order from the internet 3-4 batches at a time. I order the specialty grains crushed. Sometimes by the time I get to the last batch or two its been over a month. Am I working with truly stale grains? Is it worth trying to purchase my specialty grains from a LHBS in the week before brewing...

I don't think you have too many hops, as long as you desire a hop-forward beer. Spread the additions out over the boil to bridge bitterness, flavor and aroma. Maybe try 1/2 oz or less additions?

Creating your own extract based recipes like this are pretty cheap if you use northern brewer LME from northernbrewer.com - $14.50 for 6 lbs of wheat LME. I use my LHBS for random need NOW stuff and I buy all my ingredients online . . . using those canned LME things just get super expensive...

It really is quite quaffable and delicious, no matter the hypothetical IBUs. Part of the reason I stopped using kits is they always needed way more hops, at least to my taste.

I disagree, if you like hops, this might not be far off. should be a sessionable delicious hoppy beer. I don't however think you have enough malt/OG for it to be an IPA though, looks more like a hoppy wheat beer. I call them HopWeizens! I make a wheat beer (Summit Hopweizen!) that contains...

Red Racer is a really good IPA from BC.

Are you kidding me, just half an oz? I use 4-8oz of summit hops per batch of beer I use it in. Truly flavorful and delicious hop to be used liberally! I find that it makes truly unbelievable DIPAs, Belgian Pale Ales, and hoppy session ales - our first communal on tap beer is 4oz Summit, 6lbs...

Summit are some of the best hops ever.

For my recipe Black Hole Ale which I created, (6 lbs Munich LME, 1 lb belgian debittered black malt steeped, 4 oz chinook, unibroue yeast) I oversteeped the belgian debittered black malt. I know people have discussed extracting unwanted tannens, does this relate at all to the debittering of the...

For putting together my own extract recipes, NB can't be beat. Their extracts are unbelievably delicious. I use my LHBS when I need something in a pinch but otherwise I stay away. When I started brewing, I bought everything from the Beer Nut in SLC where they were super helpful and the...

I'm sitting here laughing my ass off, this is a great thread! Take me to your breast beer!
