yes, well had wife and job not dragged me here then... %$*#@ massachusetts! thanks for all of your input.

indeed all, it is extract. and i like the 'equipment' quip! nice! you know how we do it in cali... i'm just using a converted keg as my brew vessel on what i believe is a bayou classic sp-14 burner. nothing fancy; wort is just going to get dumped into the 6.5 gal. carboid for primary and...

well, not really IN the snow... kidding. after extensive brewing in southern california i am now doing my brewing in massachusetts. i know, i know, why did i move :( anyhow, i have previously, for 5 gallon batches, usually used a boil volume of about 3.5 gallons as this is about as much...

i think that it's really new. i like it a lot more than some of their other lighter, blander beers. this has certainly got a nice hoppy zing to it.

was looking for recipes for this and haven't had a lot of luck. the commercially available stuff i really like and would be stoked to make at home. anybody got a recipe for this? thanks. erik

thanks guys. more than likely what i think that what i'll end up doing here is doing a partial strain thing + make a bigger batch. i'm a little bummed here looking at my $90 batch of this that's looking short...

been brewing a few beers that utilized a bunch of hops the latest of which is a sculpin clone (7 or 8 types i think). my issue is that i'm losing a ton of beer to the hops, especially with this brew. how to fix? do i need to make a bigger batch and just increase ingredients? or is there...

thank you. the primary carboid is already at the warmest place in my house and it's at 65 degrees. i'm thinking about throwing an electric blanket on it for the remainder of fermentation at low temp but have never heard of anybody doing this. good idea or bad?

right now i'm at about 65 degrees and i've got the primary carboid wrapped in a blanket. i could probably put an electric blanket on it to bring the temp up a bit, but i guess the main point here is pretty much to wait? this is my first time doing a secondary. i usually leave the beer in...

hey guys and gals: apologies if this is a duplicate of other messages but searched and wasn't able to find quite what i was looking for. am making an extract version of this beeer and had a concern about my FG: it's been in primary for 5 days now, airlock bubbling is about once per 70-80...

thanks guys, will let you know how it turns out.

i would like to edit that that last post: the grains were steeped for .5 hrs., not the aforementioned one hour... yes, call me a tool i know it...

thanks palefire: started with light dry extract 8# DME steeped 1#crystal 80L and also 120L .5# for one hour thanks for any help you can provide. i've done pretty well with my previous batches; this one however is killing me... erik

hey guys, first post here and hope i'm doing it in the right forum. i've done a few rounds now and things have turned out alright. however, on this last batch, i made a steam beer that, when running it through beersmith i should have had an OG of about 1.071. i ended up with 1.047...
