earwig- you ever end up trying to make this? i'm up in ohio and we're the only other state this is sold in besides kentucky. i found it to be a really interesting beer. i'd be curious to know how yours turned out if you gave it a try.

did you try smelling the batch of hops you used afterwards or did you use everything you had? i was just browsing for some ideas in different recipes when i came across these couple threads... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/summit-hops-onion-flavor-161654/...

I have read so many mixed reviews about summit hops and people saying they've ruined entire batches of brew with a horrible onion flavor that I'm really hesitant to use them. I just bought a half pound on my latest hop order and was pumped to use them in an American style wheat beer to get...

i mash in a mashtun that i kind of made up. it's a cross between a zapap and a converted drink cooler. i just have a cheap 5 gallon bucket from home depot that i put a valve on the bottom outside of and then a stainless braid on the inside. my temperature only ever varies 1 degree on an hour...

If you want to do a wheat beer I'd recommend biermuncher's blueballs belgain wit. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/blue-balls-belgian-wit-blue-moon-clone-24978/ my personal preference is using an amercian ale yeast in wheat beers to produce something more like an american wheat like blue moon...

aaaah, very cool. i looked around for something like this but could only find it for small paintball tanks. this would also be a great thing to look into. how much did you pay up front for the first tank?

I've learned a lot about CO2 tanks over the last couple years of brewing and jsut recently when upgrading my setup. Thought I'd share so anyone looking to buy a CO2 tank or upgrade to a bigger one has some things to think about so hopefully you don't learn them the hard and expensive way as...

you guys all make some valid points. s-05 is my standard workhorse as i tend to brew a lot of american style ales and i have never been disappointed in this yeast. obviously trying to brew a lot of belgian style beers with this type of yeast or any beer in which the yeast plays a large role...

I read an article or thread sometime ago (years ago) that was talking about some homebrewers using a single yeast, usually something like a california ale yeast, for almost every different beer they made, and with relatively great success. The idea being that you could ferment ales in their...

well, brewday went well. i changed around the hop schedule some given dcp's suggestion and dstar's recipe. i ended up doing.... 1 oz columbus (14.2%) @ 60 min 1 oz centennial (8.7%)@ 15 min 1 oz amarillo (7.2%)@ 15 min 1.25 oz cascade (6%) @ 15 min and that got me right up around 71 IBU...

dcp27- would you mind drawing out your suggested hop schedule a little more literal, like a rough weight at specific times? i don't understand you 100%. thanks

kappajoe- That's interesting you mention the acid malt. I've never used it and only read about german brewers using it to adjust the PH of their wort without breaking that law (i don't remember what it is and can't spell it anyways lol). My water is pretty good here and don't really...

How's it goin everyone? I've been a long time reader here in the forum and decided I would do some contributing with my first recipe I created. There were a couple other threads about this beer with no real results posted so here is my journey... c/p from Ithaca's website: Flower Power...
