Which do you do? And which is best? I've seen some brewers just stir it back into the boil, and I've seen others scrape if off with a sieve. I tend to scrape it off with a sieve as I like to see the actual wort boiling, but maybe I'm wrong in doing that?

The OG was spot on, 1.048. The yeast was Mangrove Jacks M44 US West Coast Yeast.

Hey Guys, I'm sure I already know the answer to this but I just wanted to clarify.. I was looking for 1.009 on my West Coast IPA. After 2 weeks (well very nearly), it's at 1.011. It's flat as a pancake regarding fermentation, crausen gone entirely and zero activity which is what I'd expect...

I use postal scales from beerhawk.co.uk. They're great. Very precise, a range of measurements and the front section detaches so that no matter how big the bucket, you can read the display. Just realised it's probably easier to throw a link... https://www.beerhawk.co.uk/ultraship-35-digital-scale

Really interested in hearing how this goes. Keep us updated :)

Nice one :) Thanks.

Yep, that's the idea! But muppet here didn't think and pulled the valve when changing the collection bottle without thinking :( Next time... next time lol

I did a closed transfer. It's back in the fridge now.. I've put 12psi in it to keep it gassed.. I'll try to leave it for as long as possible :)

What's the best temperature for conditioning? I've just put an IPA into a cornie for conditioning. It's still cold from cold crashing (which worked perfectly, it's already so clear). But I'd like to condition it for a week or two. Shall I just put the keg in the kegerator and leave it there...

Guess not, at least you can run the lawn mower on it :) Just noticed your name, are you my Dad? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

1080 to 1010! Crikey, you planning to run your car on it? :lol: :lol: That's over 9% :lol: :thumb: :thumb:

Nice idea, like a forum collaborative spreadsheet.

This looks good. I was going to ask if the malt substitutions worked out good, but if none of us have tried the original it's hard to say lol. Gonna try this, but I'll stick to Citra right through as I have 300g.

Hi Dave, Firstly, there's not many of us in Devon. Where abouts are you? Secondly, 12/12 was only just over a week ago. I'd say to leave it for a while and see what happens. What is your FG supposed to be according to your recipe? I'm no expert (there are plenty of them on here, so someone...

Has anyone made this clone?

but I've not had zombie dust, and I want some :D My favourite american beer is by Newglarus, it's called Moon Man. It's an interesting brewery as they won't sell outside of Wisconsin.

I've spent a lot of time (most of 2016) in the USA. So I've been fortunate enough to sample many craft ales in their natural surroundings, I have to say it's some of the best beer I've tasted!

Thanks for the advice and the links. I'll bare that in mind and check out the comparison charts.

Interesting thoughts, thanks. As others have suggested, I suspect it travels poorly. Maybe it's time to make it then :)

Does anyone know of a nice, concise and easy to read grain alternatives chart? I have seen about 20 but none seem to contain all the information. I find so many recipes online that call for American 2-Row, and I've found that a standard pale malt is a good alternative. I now buy my malt...
