I just finished that kit and I would highly recommend using the carboy. The only thing I did differently was an addition of Pineapple. It stayed in the carboy for 3 weeks and it turned into a beautifully clear amber color. It needed another week because all of the sugar in the pineapple caused a vigorous fermentation but man it was worth the wait!

dude i really wanted to do a pineapple ipa! ive never had one but ive had a mango ipa and it was delicious. i might have to message you sometime once ive got a better hang of all this and ask u more about how u added the pineapple and such.

Sure its easy. I used a juicer but guys have used just chunked pineapple in the secondary. Be careful as it its very high in sugar and the yeast will attack it and foam out of the carboy. Remove the airlock and insert your siphon tube into the rubber stoper drain into a bucket.

Its not too late if you wanted to add pineapple

im probably gonna wait a few weeks to try and make it. i want to finish this batch up and then do another ipa using my carboy and then try the pineapple ipa. if you dont mind explaining to me now how you went about it so i have this to reference from in a few weeks, that would be great. did you use the brewers best ipa kit with the 3 oz cascade and 1.5 oz columbus?

 

[BrewgrassPickins]

ya it was the brewers best kit. just get ahold of me when your ready. I'd be glad to help
