OK, I brewed this today, but the OG reading I took is way off from what the recipe sheet says it should be. It says it should be 1.064, but I got 1.14. :confused:

I didn't get the e-mail about it until after I placed the order. :(

Call me indecisive, but I ordered the Dead Ringer and I'm planning on brewing it this weekend. We'll see how it turns out!

I suppose I shouldn't risk it. I don't want to embarrass myself by bringing a faux-IPA to a picnic. Unless someone knows of a good IPA I can make in about 3 weeks or so, I think I might need to brew a different style.

Is there any reason I need to wait a full two weeks before dry hopping? Can't I just dry hop when I rack it into the secondary?

Normally I wouldn't try to cut the time, but I need to get an IPA ready for a picnic during the last week of August and this seemed like a good recipe to try.

Is it possible to do this recipe in about 3 weeks if I keg and force carb it and still have it turn out well?

Does anyone have an extract version of this recipe? I'd greatly appreciate it. :) Also, any info on the fermentation schedule as far as how long primary and secondary should be, dry hopping, etc.?

Another IPA I'm looking to clone, although not a double, is Samuel Adams' Whitewater IPA. If anyone has any suggestions for this one, that would be great. :)

Hello, As the thread title indicates, I'm looking for a clone recipe or a recipe for something similar to New Glarus Thumbprint IIPA. What I enjoy the most about this double IPA is its perfect (in my opinion) balance between the strong, bitter hop flavor that is characteristic of double IPAs...

Welcome, Jay! I was born and raised in Midland. Good to see a fellow Midlander on here!

Thank you for the tips, everyone. You're a helpful bunch! :)

I just racked my American Wheat after seven full days of primary fermentation into my five-gallon carboy. This is my first time doing secondary fermentation, and the only reason I did it is because I dry-hopped. But is this too much head space? Should I worry about oxygen contamination?

I just picked up the Best Buy model today. It appears to be the exact same model as the Lowe's model, the only difference being the first letter, "L" for Lowe's, "B" for Best Buy, etc. The model number on Frigidaire's website begins with "F", presumably for Frigidaire. But the BEST part is...

Probably. I've been home since yesterday afternoon, but I'm sure there were plenty of people either drinking away their sorrows or celebrating. There's plenty of great beer in this area for it! :mug:

I'm in the Master of Public Affairs program.

Thanks! It is a nice city. I just moved here for grad school last year, although I'm originally from Michigan.

Great advice. Thank you very much. :)
