Let us know how it turns out. Mine is aging well and opening up a little. I get more Rye and malt character now than I did before.

Quoted for truth. When i forgot the pound of flaked rye, it basically just made an easy drinking amber with a touch of rye character and very little else. Coincidentially, i sampled a black rye ipa from my local brewery and wow, yeah, rye character is definitely missing from my beer...

So I missed my OG by some 10 points, after nailing it on my last 2 brews. I had a big ol' ? over my head until after I chilled and transfered to the carboy. My buddy asked me how much I spent on this batch, so I consulted my lhbs receipt. A pound of flaked Rye? Oh no... Yep, it was laying...

Got a late start today, but finally coming up to a boil after BIAB mash for 60 min. 1.039 pre-boil gravity. I had to adjust my hop quantities bc the columbus that i got is 19% AA! Wish me luck.

I am brewing this on Thursday. I didnt realize that OP's recipe was 6 gal and not 5, so my recipe adjustment might end up with a little stronger beer. As far as yeast, i snagged nottingham. SA-05 will attenuate better, but i'm guessing SA-04 is closer to the character of nottingham. I have...

Random update: ITS BUBBLING! Maybe this beer will be drinkable after a dry hop or 2 :D

Mine was at knockout, and then a 30 min whirlpool rest, so it was probably still above 190 or so by the end. then chilled and transfered.

So here's what went wrong... I forgot to shake the carboy and oxygenate my wort when i pitched, so my 1.064 OG only dropped to 1.024 after the longest lag time that i've ever had, and that was with a 1L stir plate starter. I brought the beer upstairs to warm it up (once up to 80+ accidentally)...

hehe, honestly I was just experimenting and seeing what i could do with my system. That brew was only like beer #6 or so for me. It was dark candi sugar for sure. And the pound of light DME was to get the gravity up to the degree that I thought it should be. The beer is still sitting...

Well, this turned out to be my biggest beer attempted by about 100%. I took this recipe and adapted it for my 3 gallon batch size. I added 1 lb of DME and ended up with a 1.085 wort. Then, after a few days of primary fermentation, which was vigourous, I added 14 oz of candi sugar...

Echoloc8, i brewed this beer a week ago on my induction BIAB setup, about 2.5 gallons. Temp controlled at 68 for the week, and now upstairs trying to warm it up to 72 for the rest of the fermentation. I added the candi sugar in liquid form about 4 or 5 days after pitch. It had literally...

I brewed this one today, finally. Missed the 1.070 OG target, came in at 1.064, but i'm kind of ok with that. With BIAB, i'm trying to get a little lower efficiencies to avoid thin finished beers (my oatmeal stout). Without adjusting the grain bill any, and trying a new batch sparge, i hit...

I was browsing around for an IPA recipe for brew number 6 on my BIAB/induction system. I ran across the multiple CYBI episodes from Firestone Walker and this sounded too good to pass up, so I've got my ingredients precisely from the podcast, with the exception of 1968 instead of 002 (thanks...

Westfield, only been into it since this spring. 4 brews under my belt, but they're not too shabby, BIAB indoors, induction burner. Also addicted to the BN.
