Make an IPA stout. Those are my favorite kind.

Skip the sugar and that recipe looks fine. I'd leave out the chocolate malt personally as you have enough with the roasted barley. Throw some oats or flaked stuff in there and it'll be good.

If you bastards hit 20k while I'm at work...

Consider it done!

Off topic (ha): has anyone received a refund from Goose Island for bourbon county? I got the shirt, but not a check.

Oh, you wanted your refund in cash instead of t-shirt. I dunno - maybe you can trade the t-shirt in for some Schrute bucks now, but that's probably it.

Something I'm going to do on my next stout is add the roast malt to the spare, similar to Gordon Strong's method for a smoother bitterness. Agree, need some more crystal in there for balance.

That works well - as does doing a cold steep overnight before brewery (and just add the tea to the boil kettle)

Done with coffee, on to water and not feeling it today.

I think I'm going to go back to post number one in this thread and start reporting everything that is even marginally questionable. Wonder if I can get posts deleted as fast you buttholes post them (that insult should get this post deleted). Alternatively, can I still get this whole thread banned before 20K?

They could have at least sprung for BK bucks.

How about a Critique my Recipe thread within this thread? Ok, sounds good.

Tell me how much this is going to suck, but don't tell me to change anything, because I brewed it yesterday.

Simcoe/Columbus Rye Pale Ale

OG: 1.064
IBU: ~32

10 lbs 2-row
2 lbs Rye
3.2 oz Crystal 120

1 oz Columbus 13% AA @ 10 min - 16.36 IBU
2 oz Simcoe 11% AA @ 5 min - 15.22 IBU

Notty

I'll do a 3 oz dry hop with 2:1 Simcoe/Columbus

Annnnnnd go!

Notty again. Jawn....

@theCADjockey

If you want a dry stout I'd keep it simple.

Any pale base malt (I'd use Maris Oter because I have it)
Flaked barley for a nice mouthfeel and its head retentive properties
Roasted barley will give you enough dark color and roastyness.

I'd have to sit down and geek out over the BJCP guidelines and beersmith to get the percentages down but I'd think

• 70% 2-row,
• 20% Flaked Barley,
• 10% Roasted Barley SRM ~500

wouldn't be too off the mark

Target an OG of 1.044-1.050

Single bittering charge not sure what IBU's ~35 I'd guess

Mash at 150-152F

An English yeast. I have WYeast 1469 but Notty would work too if you prefer dry yeast and a really dry finish.

I'd ferment at 64F

I don't think midnight wheat is bringing anthing to the party that the needed roasted barley won't already have in spades.

Anyway. disregard as needed.

Interesting height. Do you uh.. back up onto Fred?

Stupid keyboard


Probably, yes...post a bunch of political meme's that are derogatory of women or minorities. Done.

 

[iijakii]

Gotta be some minority female running for office..

 

[Ridire]

Beginning to two minutes, a frame by frame posting of two girls, one cup...

Pretty sure that's a chair rail, not a baseboard.

Where did you acquire Fred? One of the companies I work for sells those.

Bonus if she's religious and handicapped.

Put a piece of silicone on the end of my faucet and turned it down, filled a growler last night with very little foam. Think I'll feel safe sending out bottles like that. We'll see. Probably should let one sit for a week at room temp first to test? Don't want to send any of you nasty oxidized beer. Eh, at least it'd be better than a saison.

For ~$20 you can get the bits you need for BMBF

Liquid out QD
5' hose and picnic tap
racking cane
drilled stopper

Works like a champ particularly with chilled/icy bottles. A very elegant and simple solution.

 

[iijakii]

Ooh is he trying to show up Gavin? This guy has baseboards on his wall even! You can't even comprehend the level of trim he has.

 

[hunter_le five]

Let me repeat this for everyone.

I don't think I've ever been shy about this fact.

Y'all send me whatever y'all want. I'll drink it, so long as it's beer.

oh god no, anything but that

Start with all those "Hi!" posts.

I am half expecting that though...that the mods are watching and will troll us by deleting 10 pages around post 19,990.

I need more coffee to keep up with you all.

Hey buddy.. so what I have, I didn't think seemed too far off from this. I don't really care about guidelines (I understand what you're getting at though, no offense) I just want something I will like. Since I don't like sweet & malty, I was really hoping for dry/coffee/chocolate anything fitting that. Big body or thin, don't care. Anyway.. according to brewersfriend, I'm pretty close to the Dry Stout.

1.060 OG
36.5 SRM
33 IBU

Absolutely planned on mashing at 152, have the yeast covered and with keezer I guess I can definitely keep a solid ferment temp now.

Finally got around to taking a pic of this brett IPA. Anyone seen something like this? Ive done 4 all-brett beers before on none of them did this, but this was using a different blend of strains. The pic is after +48hrs in the fridge and it still looks like liquified creamsicle in the bottle. I need to make sure I can replicate this. Its the juiciest thing ever

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

I have beer fest on Saturday. I could use a bottle of Rare for the pre-game warm up drink while standing in line.

 

[Brizzo]

Damn of all days to hit 20k I am super busy at work

After @Psylocide trolled everyone with the Lion King pellicle.. it's probably deserved.

Rabble Rabble Rabble.

You got it. Wife got it for a b day gift at Z Gallerie I believe. Best behaved pet ever.

I know, I get nervous every time I get called into a meeting or whatever and can't obsessively refresh the HBT app.

@passedpawn , your services are needed here.

@Pappers_ , this thread has outlived its usefulness.
