Regal05LGT Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I stick it in the sink, run cold water alongside ice exactly like your pics, seems to only take like 10-15 mins for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallysquirrel Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If you're doing partial boil, you could use about 2ga. of COLD tap water to fill primary partially. With your wort at 110-120F and the cold tap water should net you 75-80F wort in primary. This way you don't need to cool your wort down to 70 in the sink.

Regal05LGT Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 ^^ Just have to be careful there is enough cold water to bring it down to temp, don't want to add too hot of a mix to the primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallysquirrel Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well youre always supposed to add the yeast after the primary is filled anyway right? If primary is 80F then just wait 1/2 hour and add the yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was hiding Ok so I just picked up ~4oz of fresh Fuggles and ~4oz of Fresh castcades (they fill a 1 gal ziptop bag) any ideas on what I should do? Im thinking using the fuggles to make a british bitter - well 1/2 them for arromoa using pellets for the bittering 5 gal....OR use them to make a 3 gal batch using them for bittering and arroma. As for the castcades...no ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyFast Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Cascades are a great flavoring and/or aroma hop in pale ales. Great for dry hopping too. Cascade is primarily what you taste in Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I would pick up some Magnum or Warrior pellets as a bittering hop and make a nice traditional "American Pale Ale". Fuggles are great for the same thing but in English style beers. They would make an excellent bitter. Brace yourself for jealousy... I get my fresh hops from the back yard Here's a shot of my Cascades! http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n210/shearbiggity/P1010277.jpg Unfortunately they went in the ground a little late in the season so I'm not going to get a full crop this year. They look cool on the pergola though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyFast Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Im goind AG very soon Sweet... If you go the cooler MLT route make sure to get at least a 10 gallon cooler if you want to be able to make bigger beers like tripples, Imperial Stouts or IPAs. You can make 10 gallon batches of smaller beers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal05LGT Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Those hops look great! We had two hops plants this year, the golding's flourished but the cascades were subject to japanese beetles. The whole thing died, have to go back to store bought hops for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakyFast Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Want to mail me some ribosomes in the spring? Also are you willing to mail me some Stone? I'm ging through withdrawal It's a first year plant. I don't want to phuck with the root structure just yet. Rhizomes are cheap if you really want to start growing hops. You should brew a clone. Here is a recipe for an AB clone. http://makinghomemadewineandbeer.blogspot.com/2006/02/arrogant-bastard-clone-recipe.html The key to a good AB clone is the Chinook. You can't really substitute it. If your serious about shipping it, I could probably throw a few bombers in a box for you and ship it out. The liquor store up the street always has the Smoked Porter, IPA, Ruination IPA and Arrogant Bastard 22s in stock. I love that store:wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way you don't need to cool your wort down to 70 in the sink. this is how i cool. i take 3 gallons of water and put them in the freezer downstairs before i start sanitizing. by the time ready to put the wort in the primary, they are just starting to get crystalized. cools down to just around 85-90. i have a coil now as well, but havent tried it yet for comparison. got a recipe for a pumpkin ale that will be interesting. need to get 6# of pumpkin and some time.

I would have thought a more complex grain bill like this http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/arrogant-bastard-clone-71867/ or the attached. I wonder what shipping would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyFast Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I got my zomes from http://www.freshops.com/ The more complex recipes might be closer. It's tought to say without brewing them. You can brew a very complex tasting beer with a very simple recipe though. I have a Sierra Nevada Pale ale clone recipe that is SPOT ON. It's just 2 row and crystal 60. You never know till you brew it! If you do brew one let me know how it turns out. I'm yet to clone AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
