Measure remaining out into 1 tablespoon portions and wrap in plastic wrap. Then into a ziploc and freeze.

My first attempt making Pliny the Elder. Very excited to try this as it doesn't make it to Minnesota so if I want it I need to make it!

Ingredients / Re: IPA made with home grown hops
« on: September 12, 2012, 07:20:35 am »If these are first year hops, I would be careful. First year hops are different than normal hops.
Can you elaborate on why first year hops are different? I've got first year Centennial and Hallertau growing. The harvest won't be too big and I was actually wondering if it was even worth it or not to harvest. If there is a flavor concern I may not even harvest them.
Thanks,
Ron

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: 2 wks Primary ; 2 wks Seconday ; 2 weeks bottle?
« on: July 17, 2012, 12:44:33 pm »
My two cents, just make sure to let the beer set the schedule. My experience is a little extra time on the yeast will not hurt the beer and may improve it. A little time after primary allows the yeast to "clean-up" after themselves. I've had bigger ales on the yeast for 6-8 weeks and I've not noticed any off flavors. Like Euge, I very rarely secondary.

All Grain Brewing / Re: melanoidin in an amber?
« on: June 28, 2012, 08:37:21 am »Just an FYI, The NB recipe sheet indicates 2.0# Carared, .50# Melanoiden
Which is correct. I was so tired yesterday I overlooked that when I looked at my recipe notes. I appreciate the correction.
Glad to help. I'm actually going to be brewing this soon so I had just purchased the ingredients.

« on: June 28, 2012, 06:01:22 am »I just put .25 lbs in an amber recently, and I think it tastes quite nice. It was a 3 gallon batch. I'm pretty sure Denny uses it in his Waldo Lake Amber as well.
I use carared, not melanoidin. The 2 seem very different to me. I use. couple lb. in 5 gal.

My apologies. I should have looked at the recipe before I spoke for it.

I don't normally name my beers as I haven't developed any of my own recipes as of yet. So I usually just go with the recipe name given by the original author; "DC Wry Smile IPA", "Grateful DeadGuy", "Cowboy Alt". It did get me thinking about naming a batch that is brewed for a special occasion.

Bonamassa is awesome! I've had the good fortune to see him twice. First time in a nice small setting at the Minnesota Zoo, it rained, he took a break and then came back and ripped it up. Second time at the State Theater in Minneapolis, again a great show.

The Pub / Re: I have the best kids...
« on: March 22, 2012, 10:39:18 am »
Life is what you make of it, I think hiding something from your children keeps things a mystery. And sooner or later they will discover it themselves anyway. (be it alcohol, sex, drugs, whatever... ). I would rather be honest with them, educate them and teach them to make good choices and be responsible than try to hide things from them. I view raising my children as my job is to give them tools necessary to survive in life. Those tools include being able to make good choices, and to do that they need to learn and have self confidence. That's not achieved by trying to hide things from them.
Well Said!
