I racked off this today into secondary, dry hopped and took a reading
SG was 1045 on the 29/8/14 today 8/9/14 it's at 1010 with no bubbles coming out for the last 4 days
Is this ok?

Sounds like its finished to me!

Ding! Fries are Done!

it should still be producing co2, you just cant see it, its just a thin layer between the beer and o2 it will keep your beer from becoming flat, dont bump shake or move it until your ready to bottle. Are you cold crashing? probaly not i'd assume. give it 3 days to sit in your secondary aka clearing vessel. and bottle that nectar!

 

[Shnick]

One note on the batch I did, I had to cold crash it after 2 wks in secondary, it wouldn't stop bubbling. But I tell ya, that's the best beer I've made to date. You're gonna love it, just give it time in the bottles as well. It'll be harsh, but it'll mellow out and blend nicely.

also if your dry hopping, I'm no pro on this topic, but i'd asssume you want to give it 3 days to flavor at 68-72 degrees. Ive heard anything over 7 will give it a grassy taste, and grass is for cows bro!

I can't get behind that 7 day theory (I regularly go two weeks), but I have no science to back it. YMMV I guess.

Man, just tapped this and it is fantastic! Only change I made was I dry hopped with 2 ozs of Citra rather than Cascade.

 

[agentindemand]

Definitely brewing this again. Just Served 10 gallons at a hall party and keg blew in 2 hours. . Some said best Pale they have ever had. I doubled the orange peel and it was a bit too much for me. Will scale it back for my own brew. Phenomenal recipe otherwise.

 

[solbes]

If you keg it and sip on it over a month, I'd recommend dry hopping in the keg. I did that on my last two batches of a similar recipe and it was freshly aromatic all the way through. Might take 3-4 days before the aroma shows up, as the process is slower in a chilled keg. Also the reason why it doesn't become grassy.

I dry hopped with home grown Cascade and some orange peels that I poured a little boiling water over. I am hoping to brew this again this weekend!

Should be fine, low esters, good attenuation.

Enjoying first bottle of a half-sized batch, slightly stressed that there aren't that many bottles left!

It's very good! Next time I may supplement with some extract to reach full batch size.

Made this yesterday. In place of the Cascade hops I used Australian Galaxy for the last 3 hop additions. Hopefully she comes out amazing!

Indeed! This is a great beer! Already planning this for the spring.

Guys, this is an awesome beer. Follow the hop schedule and mash temps and you'll nail it.
Happy brewing!

 

[pablopicante]

hey all,
I pitched this one (one pack and dry as I have always done with no issues) around 11 hours ago and am not seeing much activity in the airlock.
peeking inside the primary I'm just seeing brown beer. when should I begin to worry & go buy another pack?
temp should be fine in the neighbourhood of 70c in my basement...

thoughts?

 

[pablopicante]

correction: 70f

 

[D_Nyholm]

Definitely give it at least 3 days and then check the gravity. I bet you will have Krausen by tomorrow

 

[pablopicante]

thanks D, was just about to post an update - bubbling away now!

memo to self: relax a little.

 

[jakeasaur]

Just picked up the ingredients for this. Will be brewing this weekend. Only changes are I'm using us05 and homegrown cascade hops for the late additions

 

[Kirkwooder]

I, too just made the trip to my LHBS and put this together. I did it with the Marris Otter this trip, but I think I will be switching to 2 row if I brew it again. The MO is $1.89 a Pound and the 2 row is $1.19. That's a $6-$7 difference in the cost of this brew. Is it really worth the extra $6-$7 to use the MO?

The total cost of grain, 1 oz. of Cascades for the first wort hopping,(Homegrown for all the rest) and 2 oz of the sweet orange was $25. I have the yeast and coriander at home already.

Also, has anyone used notty on this? I have a winter warmer on a notty cake that needs to be bottled and could put this right in on top.

And what about mash temps? 152* for 60 min?

 

[Sammy86]

My Beer is currently being dry hopped and going to keg it on Friday. I think MO is what makes this beer great so yes I believe it's worth the few dollars more.

I mashed at 152...was aiming for 154 but i stirred too long and brought the temp down...still tastes great and from what I've ready us-05 and notty would do well with this beer

 

[NewJersey]

Brewimg this for my 3rd time today. Using the S04 and have temp control now. What temp should inset this at?
I was guessing 66°
Thanks all

 

[zamo27]

I saw dried orange peel in my home brew shop
Sweet and Curaçao
What would you guys suggest fresh orange or the dried and if the dried which of the two
Ps I love the brew it's the best ever

 

[clevefails]

Brewed this for the first time Saturday
Sounds tasty can't wait to try it

 

[mpghm]

I'm trying this with half amarillo and reduced orange. Airlock smells amazing

Oh and I try to buy local so I used Gambrius ESB instead of MO
