Title says it all:) I had a post on here about a month ago.. it was about my grommet falling into my fermentating beer and I am happy to say the beer looks great and is conditioning! The one issue was because I did not use a blow off I lost a little more beer than i wished to. We all learn either the hard or soft way :D let me know your suggestions on a good Pale Ale.. I just used Amarillo and Cascade hops for the 2nd straight recipe so i would not mind trying some new stuff.. but I love these two types so much.. Cascade is becoming my favorite of the hop world:mug:
cheers

I'm not a hop head but my brewing partner loves to use Warrior to amp up his IBUs. Saaz is a good one in my book as well as hallertau.

Soak the grains in the hot water for 45 minutesAfter soaking the grains,lift the grain bag out of the water,once the bag has dripped almost all of the water out.
Place a strainer over the stockpot and then put the grainbag into the strainer.Pour 170 degree water evenly over the bag using approx.1 Quart of water per 2 LB. of grain.discard the grains and return to heat untill boiling.

Turn off the heat once again and move the stockpot to a cool burner.Add the malt extract 5LBS. Extra Pale Extract,1 LB. Booster
Stir constantly while adding to dissolve the malt extract.Return to a boil,once its a controlled boil.add the bittering hops
