I'm In!

Sign me up, this is awesome!

Thanks shelly, I'm going to give this a try.

Thanks for giving me some insight on the many varieties of the APA.. I guess I never thought of them really being all that different from each other. Now I know what I'm brewing next:D

I hope I'm not being closed minded.

I guess, I feel like its kind of a waste to brew a APA. Every time I brew I wanna brew something interesting and APA seems kinda boring...

I Have been brewing for about seven years now and AG for three of those years, and never made a APA? I usually make oatmeal stouts, Ipa, Belgian style ales and English style ales. Is that normal? Do most homebrewers start out making APA's? I mean it's homebrew, so I brew beer that I like to...

Count me in I need the stand bad.

I brewed this beer back in April and just poured the first pint. It's a little different than the original (since my LHBS didn't have simcoe), but man it is a great tasting IPA. I love this beer, I have never had a DFH brew (since we can't get it here in Utah), but I think that this could be...

I mashed at 154f, but after an hour it was more like 152f. Im not sure how to figure out attenuation, but im glad to hear its not messed up like I thought. Thanks.

Since the fg was supposed to be 1.017 and its 1.012 its seems low to me. Is there a reason for this? What affect does having a lower fg then expected have on the finished product?

I didn't know about how after fermentation the reading needs to be corrected because of the alcohol levels screw with it. I thought I could just put a couple of drops on it and it would tell me everything. I feel like an idiot.... So is it safe to say that fermentation has completed at 1.012?

So I just took a gravity reading with my refractometer and it was still at 1.034! So I decided to checked it with my hydrometer and it was reading 1.012. WTF!!! It tastes pretty good, but I don't have a well trained palate. Maybe a little sweet but not bad.. Do you think I should start dry hopping?

I seen a little activity going on, but I haven't checked the gravity yet. I will tonight and let you know. Thanks.

So I swirled the piss out of the carboy( hopefully it doesn't oxidize too much) and then put it in a cooler with some 66F water. How long should I let that sit before I take another gravity reading?

No I don't. I'm hoping that it picks back up from raising the temp.

The temp got up to 65F in my house so I'll wait and see later today if I see any activity. OG was 1.067. It was AG. I got about 4.8 gallons collected. It's a Recipe I got from Yooper's, DFH 60 min IPA that I changed a little. 13 Pounds 2-row (US) 6 ounces Amber malt (I had to add 1# DME and...
