Well i'm two brews in a Sierra nevada torpedo 7.2% and a heavy seas loose cannon 7.0% and they were great. Wish I was drinking my homebrew but still needs 2 more weeks of conditioning. Come on guys I know your out there don't let me drink alone!

 

[wyoohio]

I am with you. Just one in however, but it is my 10~% scotch ale. Can feel it already. Next up an IPA I call Magnucade because it is made magnum nugget and cascade hoops from my own crop.

 

[brewtus72]

Thats what i'm talking about. That sounds awesome man! I cant wait till my hb is ready it was my first its an amber ale 5% kinda week but a good first timer. I'm on a harpoon octoberfest as we speak.

Whiskey and cokes on the horizon, along with some cider, headache for sure!

5% ain't bad. Means you can enjoy more in one sitting. I just cashed my honey wheat IPA (8.5%) aka "the honey badger". I replaced it with a schwarzbier (5.5%). was able to pull off a pretty good looking black and tan by mixing the two. Had no intention of having the layers. Was a delicious mix though ha.

 

[brewtus72]

I bet that was a great mix man. Yea i can't wait till its carbed conditioned and ready to drink. Trust me there's gonna be way more people with a bad headache in the morn than you and i bro :rockin:

Just put my Ranger IPA clone on tap, and have pulled a couple this afternoon. Nothing like Saturdays at home with the keezer.

 

[wyoohio]

Ranger is pretty good stuff. This is my first weekend without school so I am making it count. I have one more quarter left for my masters and I am getting burnt out working and going to school full time.

Homebrew therapy is all that helps so I have to drink it. Have to!

 

[brewtus72]

dude ranger is good thought about picking some up to day but felt wild and wanted to try some new stuff. Tried the heavy sea hop 3 ipa today and it was really good. im on my oatmeal porter now from highlands and its good feeling pretty good at the moment guys how bout ya'll?

 

[LKABrewer]

I went to a craft brew fest in Virginia Beach a couple of months ago and fell in love with Ranger. I'm brewing my second 11gal batch tomorrow with a couple of tweaks. Doing a lot of 'research' today... feeling fine!

 

[brewtus72]

it's an AG recipe if you want it. just let me know.

 

[brewtus72]

I'm a new brewer bro or I would just starting off with extract for now till i get some experience under me i dont think i'm ready for AG but when I am I'll deff need some help from guys like you!

 

[wyoohio]

imo Don't put off going AG too long. I waited two years before taking the plunge and regret not doing it sooner. Everyone I get started in brewing I talk into going straight to AG.

That said, you can make some awesome extract brews as well.

About to get a pint of coffee stout, which I over shot the coffee in ha. It has a good caffeine kick though to keep me rolling.
