I dry hopped this with an ounce of amarillo, and after a week it was very good lots of flavor and aroma...I left them in there a lot longer than intended they were in there for 4 weeks.

Did this one a few days ago and all (visible) activity seemed to cease within a couple days - this sounds like nothing to worry about from previous posts - is it? Also, how much priming sugar should I use for a 5 gallon batch when I go to bottle? Thanks in advance...

Nottingham will ferment this out in a couple of days. Go ahead and let it sit for at least 10 days total while the yeast finish their process before kegging or racking to secondary.
3/4 cup of corn sugar will work fine for priming.

Using the date that is shown on the recipe, the running total of gallons brewed, and today's date...this recipe is being brewed an average of every 3 days.
To me that seems pretty impressive!

I'm halfway thru placing an order to make this and I can't get cascade hops. What should I use to replace them?

Williams Brewing or Homebrewmart.com should have Cascade in stock. You can sub Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial or Chinook as long as you cut back on the higher Alpha Acid hops.

I found the cascade, a local brewery I'm visiting tomorrow has them in stock. I love simcoe, have you tried it with them?

I have not tried simcoe with my Haus Ale, but it made a great IPA. It's a tasty hop, but try to match the IBUs is you are going to try it as a substitute.

I'm going with the cascade, this will be my first AG and I plan to follow the recipe exactly the way you wrote it. Maybe I'll try the simcoe on the next batch.

Just finished mine. First AG. Everything seemed to go well, ended up with about 4.5 gallons and it came in at about 1.058. Is this too high? Should I do something to correct this?

You'll be fine. It will just have a bit more kick. :cross:
You top off with some bottled water if you wish.

I think i'll choose the kick. Thanks for the recipe Ed, my hydrometer sample was delicious, very pleased for my first AG.

I just brewed this and popped my All-Grain Cherry 
Now for the bad news.... LEARNING CURVE....
OG 1.044 Looks like it will be 5% ABV instead of 6% if I'm not mistaken
Mash at 150 since I didn't calculate strike temp (52qt Coleman xtreme MLT with SS braid)
Added to much water as I thought it would be under, ended up over...
I "think" that's 57.44% efficiency... Guess I need to read up on my batch sparging and MLT technique...
FWIW the grain crush at the LHBS seemed "powdery" in comparison to the partial mash grain I've received from AHS, Midwest, and Northern Brewer....
Oh well I hope it comes out well! Cost about $25 in supplies at the LHBS

Well, I only could get 1 ounce of cascade so I grabbed 1 ounce of centennial. How do I adjust the hops? The cascade is 5.9 and the centennial is 9.1?

Here's what I'd do... Played with beersmith for a bit and came up with......
0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (60 min) Hops 9.1 IBU
0.50 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (60 min) Hops 16.5 IBU
0.25 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (30 min) Hops 6.4 IBU
0.25 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (15 min) Hops 2.3 IBU
0.25 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (5 min) Hops 1.8 IBU
0.25 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (5 min) Hops 1.6 IBU
Bitterness: 37.7 IBU (14.0-20.0 IBU)
At 75% efficency that'll give you 39.3ibu's of bitter AND!!! AND!!!! you will have more hop flavor/armoa because of the higher AA's of centennial. Instead of finishing with only .25oz of hops(cascade) you will be finishing with DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT!!! In the spirit of the brew It might be a tiny touch more of a hop flavor than most coors light people can handle but that other part of the spirit of the brew is to make a nice easy drinking beer with minimal ingridents to be enjoyed greatly by both being easy on the tastebuds and the wallet! :rockin:

Did this all grain last Sunday. LHBS cascade was a little light on the AA (5.5), so added some Centennial (calculated amounts to get me to 6.6- very little) to bring AA up on each addition. Used a starter from a washed American Ale yeast and did ferment fast and strong. Transfering tomorrow to 2nd for 10 days, then 2 weeks in keg and drink will be on!!

I will be picking up the grain for this (1st AG) this Saturday and it looks like my LHBS has Maris Otter for $1.20/lb but plain 2-row is $2.00/lb.
I have read somewhere else on the board that MO should never be used in an APA, only in English Pale Ales. Is there really much of a difference between MO and plain 2-row (MO is a 2-row barley I beleive)?
Edit: They had the prices wrong on their website, I got 2-row pale malt. No cascade hops either, got simcoe. When I asked for Cascade, LHBS guy laughed at me.
Wow, I ended up with an OG of 1.034. My mini-mash must've been super-inefficient.
Weird; I would have expected about 1.040 from the 5 pounds of DME even if I got nothing at all out of the grain.
Ah well, we'll see what happens; I'm sure it'll end up tasty anyway.

probably a bad gravity reading. Or you missed your volume. Or one of your friends ate half the bag of DME.

1.034? Will there be any alcohol in that?
About 3.25%... Hopefully I just had a bad reading.
I'll drink 3 of 'em quickly when they're ready and we'll see.

I brewed an IPA last night. Wish I had taken a hydro reading. Or maybe I did. I dont really remember it was fuzzy that time of the night

Edwort..... few questions as I am about to embark on this tonight:
Instead of:
1.0 oz Cascade 6.6% at 60 min.
0.5 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 30 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 15 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 5 min.
I want to go:
0.5 oz Nugget 13.00% at 60
0.5 oz Centennial 10.00% at 30
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 15
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 5
due to the fact of that's what I have on hand. Beertools still places this recipe 100% in the realm of an APA. Grain bill and yeast are staying the same because I am attracted to the fact that you can have this on tap in 10-14 days.
My brew partner says this:
Anyone have any ideas about this? I wonder about it because Ed's recipe does in fact use one hop. I have never read anything about this, or had this concern before.
I have no problem aging this longer if it is a factor, I am patient. Sort of!

It probably will make a nice beer, but it will have a different hop character than mine which goes against one of the reasons for my recipe, ie: appeal to a broad audience.
Give it a whirl as I'm sure it will turn out well.

Gotcha.... Cascades sure do appeal to me, but I only have an ounce at the moment. That could change in an hour at the LHBS, although I need to start using the Nuggets and Centennials...
I guess I'm more concerned about appealing to "me" at the moment. Thanks!

Then use the ounce, and use 1/2 oz of Centennial for the 60 minute addition. It should be pretty close then.

I'm in the same boat, I have an ounce of cascade and an oounce of centennial.
So you're saying to change from this:
Boil & Hops
1.0 oz Cascade 6.6% at 60 min.
0.5 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 30 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 15 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 5 min.
To this:
Boil & Hops
0.5 oz Centennial 6.6% at 60 min.
0.5 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 30 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 15 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 5 min.
So you're saying to change from this:
