LOL! After reading your first post again I was like damn, he brewed that fast and then I was like wait, this shouldn't result in an Amber... Then I scrolled down some more and read your last post!

Sorry to bring up an old post but are you willing to post the final recipe and details of the Brew cycle? This is absolutely one of my favorite beers I've ever had and I would definitely like to brew it this weekend.

I'm not the OP but here is the recipe I've been using and I've been super pleased with the results!!!

Gravity Readings:

OG - 1.059

FG - 1.012


Grains:

12 lbs Golden Promise



Hops:

1.0 oz Mosaic – 60min
2.0 oz Mosaic – 5 min
2.0 oz Mosaic – Flameout
3.0 oz Mosaic – Dry Hop

I mash at 150F. I also add 2 tbsp. of gypsum to all my IPA's during the mash. Very unscientific as I don't do any sort of water profile, but I have found that gypsum kicks my IPA's up a notch and 2 tbsp. seems to be the right amount for my brews.

And I use Wyeast 1272 for my yeast.

Super simple beer but its so damn good!!!

oh that's a lot of hops. Was it hoppier than the original Founders version?

Alright dude I'm going with your recipe even though you're a fan of the school up north... Did you do a starter on your yeast by any chance?

Good luck in the tournament! We may see each other again if we can get past Gonzaga which I highly doubt.

one more question, what temperature did you ferment at? Did you go on the low end to get the citrusy flavor or did you ferment at higher temperatures to get the fruity flavor?

Sorry, I was out of town coaching swimming all weekend and did not get to my computer.

I love me some hops. I've never had a Founders Golden Promise so I can't say I have a comparison, but I really like my version. I make a NE IPA that I use 15 oz of hops total!!!

I do not make a starter when I use Wyeast. I feel like the smack packs have enough viable yeast to do the job. I know some think its a major faux pas to not do a starter, but I haven't found it necessary when I'm not brewing a high gravity beer.

As for fermenting temps, I don't have any way to control the temps but I try to ferment on the cooler side. My basement is where I usually let my fermenting take place and that's usually around 65F or so. I bring it upstairs for the last few days after dry hopping to bring it up to around 70 or so.

PS, sorry about your Buckeyes losing out to the Zags. Although, I must say, seeing Sparty go down as well as Michigan's buzzer beater made it a pretty nice weekend for us Michigan fans indeed!

Okay so I brewed your recipe on Tuesday and for whatever reason it's already done fermenting. My OG was 1.058 and I'm already down to 1.013. There is no airlock activity and the krausen has almost completely disappeared... in 3 days. I used a Yeast Starter so perhaps that's why?
