Surly Furious. Such a great balanced IPA. I don't buy it as much as I should, but I had it on tap the other day and it was fantastic!

I wouldn't. I would try and go as low as possible to prevent yeast off flavors. Try the swamp cooler method. A large bucket of water, a towel and change out frozen water bottles a couple times a day. This should be able to keep you below 65 degrees. You would only need to do this for the...

Heat the wort to 180 degrees and perform a 30 min hop stand with with 3 oz of your favorite IPA hop, then cool it down to 120 degrees and add 3 more oz of hops for another 30 min. hop stand. finish it off with a big dry hop to make a nice IPA.

Correct, I heat my water to 163 and it normally settles in around the 150 to 152 range after I add my grains. It all depends on what system you are using.

Combine the grits and grains together in the mash. When I brewed it I wanted a dry beer so I mashed at 150 degrees. Let us know how it turns out!

US-05 isn't as clean as Nottingham and it doesn't drop clear as fast. I prefer Nottingham in most of my ales for this reason. It's very clean! us-05 would work as well though just follow what chelisHubby suggests.

Make a Porter with everything you have plus 12 lbs. Maris otter. Use the same hop schedule as the amber lists above. It will be a kitchen sink brew, but all these ingredients should work well in a Porter.

6.5 lbs. Golden Promise(or normal two row) 2.5 lbs. Instant Grits .5 oz cascade - 60 min. .5 oz cascade - 5 min. Notingham yeast fermented cold(60 degrees) Easy, cheap and tasty cream ale

I had that happen this year with an RIS. I waited 6 months and nothing. What I dig was hydrate a packet of champagne yeast, uncapped all bottles, put 4 or 5 drops of the liquid yeast in the bottle, recapped them with new caps. In 3 weeks I had perfectly carbed beer. I didn't add anymore sugar...

Do 2 and 3! I dryhop in the keg for the duration of the keg at serving temps and I never get any grassyness. Dryhopping does take longer at colder temps.

Cascade, Centennial and Columbus. I always have these three in stock.

Buy a 10 gallon po(I bought the 10 gallon tall boy from Northern Brewer), a BIAB bag from wilserbrewer, and an all-grain recipe from your homebrew store. Very small investment for the bag and if you don't like all grain the 10 gallon pot will be perfect for full boil extract. I personally...

I'm interested too! Thank you!

I just did a Calypso and El Dorado IPA with Belgian yeast and 100% Vienna malt. Very unique! Has flavors of pears, apples, and fruity jolly ranchers then it finishes off with the fruity Belgian yeast. Finished dry but the Vienna malt is still there. Very different from my Citra and whatever...

Golden promise Vienna Munich Citra Cascade Canned Hop extract Citra and golden promise make an awesome IPA, mix in some Munich and Vienna and you have a pale ale. Buy some flaked corn or grits to make a cascade cream ale. Vienna lagers, Oktoberfest.... Possibilities are awesome with those...

I would do this: 60 - 1 oz Columbus 15 - .5 Fuggle/.5 Chinook 5 - .5 Fuggle/.5 Chinook dry hop: 1 oz Centennial I really like the aroma of Centennial and the other hops in my opinion are good boil hops. Centennial will give you a nice nose, while the other additions will give you the Pine...

No, in my opinion it wouldn't be worth switching your method. You are still brewing all-grain, so changing how you create your wort from grains won't benifit your process. I currently use the 3 vessel method with a cooler mash tun and that works for me. There were a couple reasons why did do...

I buy Golden Promise and Vienna by the sack, then MoreBeer allows you to buy 5 or 10 lbs bags of specialty grains and offers free shipping. So I just bought 5 different crystal/specialty malts(Caramunich, crystal 10, crystal 40, Honey Malt, red wheat) in 5 lb bag, then I bought a 10 lb bag of...

I personally would drill a hole in the top and install a tower. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all of your coolant lines are in the freezer compartment shelf so there isn't a threat of hitting the lines. A tower would look better on a mini-fridge in my opinion.

In my opinion I get a super clean lager like flavor from WYeast 1007 fermented cold(58-61). I also get a really clean flavor from Nottingham fermented high 50's or low 60's.
