Got a Chinook IPA going tonight. 7%, 70 ibu and special b in place of crystal malt. Should be a good time!

What was the recipe you brewed? I went to my LHBS and they told me to take my best ipa recipe and add carafa III (.5-.75 lbs) to it. Brewed it about a month ago have it sitting in the keg, but don't have high hopes for it.

I haven't brewed it yet because the hose is taking forever to show up. But this recipe is intense... I wanted to make a real stand-out brew for my first batch on the new rig. Total of 15.8oz hops (I bought 3# and that was the smallest bag I was sent so I figured I should use all of it :rockin

Founders breakfast stout clone, with a few tweeks.

Will be using San Diego super yeast (free from work), goldings and warrior (free from work), some mineral additions for the first time (free from work), and some malt that was also... well, you know.

 

[yjfun]

Brewing 5 gal of a La Fin du Monde clone tomorrow.

 

[Piratwolf]

Finally getting around to my BDS tomorrow. Pretty excited about this as it is 1) my first BDS, 2) my first planned 6+ mo aging beer, 3) from Jamil's recipe, which have turned out awesome so far, 4) a freakin awesome style that should be really enjoyable to drink!

Also, I've set a pretty ambitious brew schedule: 6x 5-gal batches in the next 5 weeks. Got kegs for Christmas & want to fill 'em, plus brewing for my 1st BJCP comp in March. :rockin:

Just finished a batch of SN Celebration. I'm frequently sampling my keg of English style IPA, figured that this would be a good next one.

They looking for any help down there chill? I'm bottling a batch of hoppy brown next Tuesday that's been sitting on the "super yeast" for a month. If that stuff is any kind of super, it ought to be well finished - it was only OG 1.050 to begin with. What kind of minerals?

Hey, not sure where you're from as I'm on my phone, but the water in Sheffield is crazy soft and there is barely and calcium in it so I'm adding calcium chloride and some bicarb, possibly some calcium sulphate, haven't quite figured it out yet.
