Did my first altercation on this batch..

[ArizonaJohn]

Hello all. I got the monster brew kit to start with.. came with 3 5 gallon kits and all ingredients. I did the first two (Amber Ale, India Pale Ale) with the exact instructions. The batch I am doing now is an American Wheat Ale and I slightly altered the recipe. Instead of using the UK first gold hops that came with the kit I went to a brewing store right here in Tempe, AZ and got American grown Hallertau hops.. we'll see! The last two batches I made I let ferment for about 3 weeks each but didn't let them settle in the bottles long enough after adding priming sugar.. green D: I'm going to let this one go for about two weeks and focus on keeping it in the bottles longer! Just wanted to share.. any experience on these American grown hallertaus? -Thanks

It has a smooth spice to it that's not overbearing. The US Perle is nice like that too. I used US Perle & Czech Saaz in my 1st APA. Good smooth spice where the piney thing in the Saaz was changed to a nondescript fruitiness.

ALTERATION**** I'm sure you realized what it was meant to be. Anyways, thanks for pointing that out and not giving any advice on my actual post.

You trying to start an altercation?


OP; I think that American Hallertau will be perfect for the beer you describe... better, IMO, than the UK First Gold.

You should've asked "You trying to start an alteration?"
