My NE IPA came out looking like orange juice. Excellent. I prefer it over the west coast ipa. It's the hops that make the difference.

This recipe calls for Citra and mosaic but I got some Amarillo in the cold box as well so I may add a little extra. My NEIPA’s usually get about a pound of hops per batch so we’ll see...I’m using the Vermont IPA from Gigayeast this time.

If I'm doing a Vermont IPA, might as well brew some Heady Topper. A little higher ABV maybe.

I’ve heard of the famous Heady Topper but kinda hard to find here in the west...

On the East Coast too. I stood in line in VT for 2 hours to buy a 6 pack. The recipe is available and kits are available also. The kit I tried was excellent. Then I just brewed it myself. The kit is cheaper than buying the ingredients

They have Bells 2 hearts ale. It won 1st place for 2017. Almost impossible to buy it on west coast. They don't ship it here.

We can do the brew in an afternoon but it still takes a couple weeks before it’s ready... gotta ferment and dry hop that stuff, then get it in a keg and carb it...

Just started flowering today. Plants are big, healthy and ready to bloom. I think the real test is flowering and well they do.

I’ve got a brew shop about a quarter mile from my house, I usually suffer thru my own recipes, but these kits seem to make it easier....

I still bottle condition my beer.

Beats the hell out of a $300 primary fermenter !-- 3-5 lbs of apple cooked so they get mushy --couple pounds of sugar --Fill it up with water and add yeast !-- That airlock on top quit bubbling sugar bout gone !

If U can ferment then U can also make vinegar !-- I can !-- All U gotta do is get sloppy and contaminate your alcohol with that bacteria that eats alcohol and sheets acetic acid !-- I had to throw out 5 gallons of vinegar !

 

[Keef]

My friend the Gloman cooking off 150 proof after we got him set up with a doubler !-- He tried to explain how he could Bake some Epson salt and use it to bring 150 proof up to almost 200 proof absolute ethenol but I was too high to follow what he said !

 

[2RedEyes]

I’ve made vinegar before, while trying to make wine...

 

[Keef]

It's easy to do RE !-- I've went to everything is either boiled or cleaned with a 10 % bleach water solution !-

Nurse Larry -x- Black Berry Snow Lotus-- She got 3 weeks to finish and look at that frost already !
