Do you typically add the entire bottle of vanilla purée?
About half the bottle (2 oz) should be good. Unless you go overboard on the coffee, like I did on my last one. Gotta dial that back so the vanilla comes through more.

Ever wonder what 4 1/2 pounds if hop pellets look like?
This IPA will go to 11

Yep. He's making hop jello.

to be fair, I'm going to use some to dry hop with an ounce each day for 2 weeks.

Slippery slope ordering in bulk. Next thing you know you'll have 20+ in the freezer. Make sure those stickers aren't the type that'll fall off with a little moisture. I have about 2 pounds of mystery hops I'll make a barleywine with sooner or later.

No doubt!
After dealing with lbs of mystery hops last time I cleaned out my freezer; I now write the variety, date, and AA% on the bottom of all my bulk hops in sharpie.

Well, i hope you have a good strainer. And i hope you brew about 6.5 gallons. Because the trub left behind will eat up a bunch of your wort.
I'd be more than happy to sample it.

I was only kidding. That's for all my brewing for a long time to come

was looking at the homebrew recipe for Modern Times Fortunate Islands, a pale wheat ale. The mash time is only 20 minutes, but they fly sparge.
I've never mashed only 20 minutes, and I batch sparge, so should I mash longer than they recommend?

You probably don't need to go longer, but I would. If you decide to go with the 20 mash I would use the iodine conversion test to see if conversion is complete
I've read people say that with modern malts the mash is done converting in 10-15 mins. I'm never in a huge hurry so I just let it go 60 mins every time.
I think it's awesome that the guys at Modern Times post a majority of their recipes online for homebrewers.

since I will probably do it one evening after work, that 60 minutes lets me play with my little girl or feed her supper, so I'll probably do that too
I noticed that they have the base for many of their sours too. I really appreciate breweries that are willing to share info, and still understand why some don't.

Fortunate Islands is great, definitely making it this summer
Posted on 1/9/15 at 7:04 pm to LoneStarTiger
The guy that came up with most of their recipes is the same guy who writes Mad Fermentationist and American sours.

I had read that somewhere before. I had hoped to go to the brewery while we were out there but it didn't work out. So far I'm 3 for 3 on liking their beers

Was thinking of making this over the weekend and tossing it on the cake from the 100% brett ale.
