Finally brewed the ipa yesterday. That wort chiller is a beast!

So I'm brewing a east coast style ipa, the only problem is my LHBS did not have Conan or 1318. I have 1098 & Us-05. So I'm planning on using the 1098 instead of the Us-05. Will this get me in the ballpark?

Not yet, I'm planning on brewing an IPA in a couple days. I'm Jones'n to brew, it's been too long.

That's a New Years resolution I can get behind! Good luck!

Great! Thanks for the replys. It should be here on the 27th. I'll let you know how it works out. It was too good of deal to pass on.

Mine was a 3/8 od tube. It was fairly thin wall, so the heat transfer was fairly effective. I wondered how thick the convoluted was... I guess I'll find out soon, I went ahead and ordered it as a Christmas gift for myself. Cheers!

So I'm planning on buying a new chiller pretty soon. Austin Homebrew has this on sale for a good price. I was wondering your experiences with this chiller. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/Psycho-Chiller-Counter-Flow-Wort-Chiller.html I own a homemade 20 ft counterflow chiller that worked great...

That looks like a beer war zone! My condolences on your losses sir/mam..

Some really good sounding strains they're offering. I think I'll try the same German strand as you.

Blasphemy I say, Blasphemy!

Remmy, have you ever considered dry hopping this recipe? I have all the ingredients to make this plus extra Simcoe and Citra. I'm considering dry hopping with two Oz of each per 5 gallons. Thoughts?

Awesome!

Ok, so I scrapped all the crystal malts and added .25 Lb of cane sugar in the last 10 minutes of the boil. Thanks for the input!

I prefer a lower IBU for my IPAs too. An enamel stripping level isn't enjoyable to me.

A pilsner was the original intent of the crystal, but I always forgot about them when I make a pilsner. I have 10 gallons of a Bohemian Pilsner lagering right now, so it maybe a while before the next one. So I figured why not.. I have yet to use cane sugar in an IPA, what's you thought of...

It is very noticeable. I bought it for a Arrogant Bastard clone ( which came out great) but I think I'm going to leave it out this time. I'll respond back with results in about a month.

Yes it will be a 90 minute boil. I considered leaving out the special B as well.
