Here's my first year Columbus and Willamette. Got a late start, got them into planters Wednesday, and then built the trellis yesterday. Hops 6/22/13 by agreenmartian, on Flickr

26150.75 + 2.5 Lime Wheat + 2.5 Strawberry Lime Wheat = 26155.75

Unfortunately not very much. I would add them after primary is complete next time to get more character.

I attempted a 312 clone with lime in it. Grain bill was 80/20 2-row/torrefied wheat, about 20 IBUs of cascade for an hour with .5 oz at flameout with the zest from 4 limes. I split half the batch onto 2lbs of strawberries and left the other half just lime. It came out great, definitely more...

Update on this, it scored a 37.3 at Barley Legal. One judge said there was almost too much rye, one said they could taste it but didn't comment on the quantity, and one said they couldn't taste it. I think I might cut the rye malt by .25lb and add the same amount of flaked rye to try and get...

I'll go in.

Bottled today; it finished at 1.008. Should come out to 3.68% and the sample I had was quite tasty. I think this and my black IPA may be my first competition entry since it'll be fully conditioned just in time for Barley Legal 3.

9056.75 + 6g Black IPA + 5g Rye Pale Mild = 9067.75

I made the extract of this with C40 instead of C10 and Wyeast 1056. Positively delicious. Thanks!

Brewed today and the results came out pretty awesome. I only sparged with 5 gallons, so I got 6.5 gallons pre boil at 1.024. 5 gallons went into the fermenter at 1.036. The color came out a bit darker than I'd expected. Next time I may reduce the chocolate malt to 2oz. Of course if it tastes...

RDWHAHB... Everything will come out fine. From what I understand, you shouldn't have to worry about an infection as long as your wort was in a clean, sanitized covered fermentor. Many people let their wort cool overnight before pitching; an hour is nothing. My first brew on my own was a pumpkin...

I was thinking between the C40 and Carapils it should have a pretty solid mouthfeel, would oats really be necessary? I also don't want it to be too heavy or chewy.

Good call, I probably wouldn't have thought about that when buying my supplies. I'll have to take note of the AA% when I weigh them out.

The irish moss used for brewing is made from seaweed, so I'm guessing what is growing in your garden is probably something different... I would run to the LHBS.

I made some adjustments in BeerSmith, should be closer to final. I'll wait to adjust my expected efficiencies until after I see some consistency for a few batches. Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 6.98 gal Post Boil Volume: 5.98 gal Batch Size (fermenter): 5.00...

So maybe: 1lb rye 1lb rice hulls (is this more than I need to prevent a stuck sparge? It seems like a lot.) .5lb carapils .5lb C40 .25lb chocolate malt 4.5lb MO I did also realize I should maybe add whirlfloc or irish moss for clarity as well. So I'll be using one of those probably.

Yep, looking for a lower gravity session beer.

I was definitely expecting lower efficiency, I'll have to adjust that. For the recipe I was trying for something simple, but didn't want to end up with something boring. Any suggestions if I should go with something easier?

That makes me feel better about it not being terribly more difficult. :ban: I haven't adjusted the boil loss rate in BeerSmith yet, but it was only about 1 gallon per hour on my last brew. The main reason for fly sparging is that I have a second cooler as a HLT due to not having a second...

With parts for my MLT and HLT on their way I was playing around in BeerSmith and came up with this. I'm going for a cross between a Rye Pale Ale and a Pale Mild. This will be my 4th brew overall with my first 3 being extract. Am I diving in too deep for a first all grain batch? Will this taste...
