We will need to chat about your hopping schedule for your successful beers. I wasn't that impressed with the one I tried using that method
I'd be interested in this as well. The one I brewed without a bittering edition wasn't great so I never went back to it.

I did 3oz of higher Alpha hops (Citra, Simcoe, Galaxy) at 10 minutes, then 6oz of whirlpool hops for 30 minutes. Theoretically, there were plenty of IBUs given the extra time between the 10 minute addition and the end of the whirlpool.
Dry hops are added in 2 batches, the first coming roughly 60 hours into fermentation and the second a few days later.
You could obviously go for a small FWH addition to give you more IBUs.

Do you boil for a full 60 minutes or shorten it to 10-15 minutes?
Yakima Valley Hops order just arrived.
Now I need to find more time to brew.

can you add anything to the discussion above about tips for making one?

B talked me into this method with my current IPA and I am really happy with how it turned out. I did stay with a 60 minute boil, but I would be interested in seeing if it could be done with a shorter boil length

Sorry, I missed that discussion.
Here was what I brewed:
8 lbs Pale Malt
1 lb Crystal 40
1 lb Munich
8 oz Special Roast
Mashed at 150
.5 oz Chinook 60
.8 NB 15 (I am sure I rounded up on this to 1 oz but I didnt change the recipe in my notes)
.8 NB 15 (Same here)
San Fran Lager yeast
At first I thought this was really good but as it aged it got a little two sweet for me. I'd probably cut back on the C40 the next time around. Also the San Fran lager wasnt the best for the quick lager method. It wasnt bad, just needed a little bit longer lagering than hoped.

I did a full 60 minute boil. I'm sure I could just do a 10-15 minute boil, but then I'd have to adjust water volume and grain amounts, and I'm just not gonna try to mess with that.

I did this recently with a red IPA. I was very happy with the results. Will definitely be doing it again in the future.

The wife delivered this year for Christmas. Now the only questions is what to fill it with.
Posted on 12/25/16 at 6:46 pm to Bleed P&G
That's a good one to have.

Strong porter or stout followed by low gravity stout or porter followed by mediocre scotch or bourbon. Repeat.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing a pecan porter. Do you think that the pecan flavor will fall out while it ages in the barrel?
Posted on 12/26/16 at 4:06 pm to Bleed P&G
The booze flavor in the first go round is typically really strong so take that into account

Anybody get anything cool homebrew stuff for Christmas? I see the whiskey barrel above. I didn't get anything, but I did brew on Friday. Made the base porter for my coffee vanilla porter. Easy peasy brew day that I wrapped up in 3:15.
Just ordered ingredients to brew an all Galaxy hopped NEIPA. Hoping to take off Thursday and Friday and brew on one of those days.

Wife got me some ball lock cornys on black friday. I had a beer gun under the tree. Can't wait to start brewing. Might happen Thursday!

Got some money to buy a pump and small miscellaneous things.
Kegged a coffee blonde saturday I brewed for the g/f and started 10 gallons of a kettle sour. Just split the batch tonight. 5 gallons will be a hoppy sour and the other a key lime gose. Have a porter that I added a maple honeycomb to going to 3 weeks. This weekend I will be a NEIPA.

Used gift money to stop in LA Homebrew and get a new regulator for the kegerator.

I used a gift card to purchase some grains and yeast. Got the new Blichman beer gun as well. Think I need to buy something else to get it to work properly, mainly another beer co2 dispenser for purging.
Do have a problem though. Today One of my kegs started foaming up like crazy. It was dispensing fine a few days ago, but all of a sudden k get foam. It's a new line, and faucet. I can only think of 2 reasons it's foaming. Either a) the sudden change in temp and humidity lately is messing with my temps in the fridge. FWIW the fridge never kept great temps, but was cold enough for my liking. Temps in the fridge now say it's about 45. Typically it hovers around 40.
The other culprit could be maybe my beer line is too thin? I have the thicker beer line on my older leg and never had a problem. On the new keg, I have a thinner line connected. The problem here, though, is that it poured perfectly fine a week ago.
The more I think about it, the more I think it may be the temps outside.
