There’s a new brewer in Texas!

[Rik van den berg]

Hi all. I started brewing last December when my wife got me a setup for my birthday.

Since I’ve brewed:
- a Belgian Pale Ale (all extract). Got 46 bottels out of a 5gal batch. It was good and my buddy and I drank through the last of it on New Years day when I was brewing my Hefeweizen
- bohemian pilsner. Brewed 12/17. Diacetyl rest from 12/23 to 12/25. In secondary for lagering 12/28. The flavor was already really good with a hint of carbonation and no buttery or butterscotch flavors. I’ll check on that one after 4 weeks of lagering in the fridge
- above mentioned Hefeweizen. Brewed 1/1 and fermentation looked to be done after 3 intense days. The fermenter was sitting at a spot that got too hot and it went up to 79/80! I put it in a wine fridge at 65 and will leave it there for at least an other week before bottling it. I’m kind of nervous about this one..


Looking around here for a good ipa. I’m a newbie so not into all grain brewing (yet) but I do steep grains. I read something about a great 60minute recipe on here but haven’t been able to find it yet.

I live just north of Houston and have been visiting the store Brew it Yourself in Spring. Great stuff and info there!



Great forum!

Hi, welcome to HBT. Here's the recipe you're probably looking for, its got both all-grain and extract versions. I've never brewed it, but its similar to IPAs I have brewed and I've had Yooper's beer and she's an ok brewer Just kidding, she's an excellent brewer!

Welcome aboard! I've been brewing for about 2 years and joined this sight back in May of 2017 but have just started recently using it! What a wealth of info on here! Best of luck and happy brewing!

Sorry I live in Canada. How far are you from Mission, Texas? I do remember having a window blow out on one of your bridges in Houston with my other rig!
