I'd put some table sugar in that - otherwise you might end up with a DIPA/Barleywine tweener.

how much would you add?  would honey be a viable alternative?

off the top of my head, I'd say replace a pound of extract with a pound of sugar.  Honey would definitely work as well.

what about just adding in a pound of sugar in additon to?  would that work?

the ambient temp and the temp of the fermenting beer is up to 68 at this point as it has warmed up down here.

my plan was to rack this beer into secondary (this sunday)  where i will dry hop it and brew a big dipa to put on the yeast. 

i'm still getting a bubble every 8 seconds out of the airlock (i guess because it has warmed up), so i'm a bit befuddled if this beer will ever look done.

i haven't taken a gravity reading since the activity hasn't really let up.

i dunno.

i have a thread over in extract brewing about this yeast.  i'm fermenting a beer i brewed a week ago today and i just checked it upstairs and i'm still getting much much much activity.  to the point i'm almost shocked.  i didn't take an OG, but according to beersmith, i should have been at 1.054, so nothing high gravity. 

here is the thread with some add'l information.....

I tried to access the back issues and AFTER signing in I got a message saying  "Oops. You’ve tried to access Members Only content."  But I AM a member, and I was signed in! 

Online accounts do not grant access to member sections until you contact AHA to have them associate your AHA membership with your online username (after all, anybody can get a username, not just members). It sounds like this is the problem. A quick email should do it.

thanks!  this worked.

Ingredients / Re: Victory Storm King Hops and Yeast

« on: January 08, 2013, 06:00:51 am »

A Storm King clone recipe was just posted in the December 2012 issue of Brew Your Own magazine, page 12.  They use Centennial, Cluster, and Cascade hops.

You're welcome. 

i would have sworn that as well, but looked all over and couldn't put my finger on it.

since i rarely brew more than once a month, i have gone completely to pellets for the whole process now.  i don't like dry hopping with whole leaf unless i get them just before brew day and don't have to store them.

Mmmm...mmm...looks delicious.

Does it taste as good as it looks!

i dunno, it looks pretty good doesn't it.  hahaha.  just kidding.  i thought it was great.  a lot like ribs, but meatier.  i think if i cubed it now and deep fried it, it would be completely off the hook.  the reduction shocked me as well.  it was super.
