I will be brewing at 8 am EST, so it looks like you may have to get up really early and release it so I can fully prepped.... :D :D

Seriously looking forward to the next episode. Thanks Denny!

Consumption has gone up over the summer so trying to squeeze in a couple of sessions sooner than usual. Sunday is an APA formed with the help of others here.

100% golden promise
Bravo 60 min bittering to ~50 IBU
1 oz each of comet, cascade, ahtanum @ 0 min
1 oz each of comet, cascade, ahtanum @ dry hop

1.056
K97 (only because I don't have any US05 on hand)
~5.9% ABV
On Tap/Bottled: IPL, Adjunct Vienna, Golden Stout, Honey Lager
Fermenting: IPA
Up Next: mexi lager, Germerican pale ale

Sunday I am going to be brewing the IPA that you nice people helped me tweak (thanks HoosierBrew and fmader, and any one else that gave input).  This is the first time I will have used 14oz of hops in a 5.5gal batch, and also my first time trying a hop stand for everything after the 60 min bittering.
Bottled/Drinking:  Born Again Heathenweizen, Mongrel Belgian
Fermenting:  None
Future:  Undecided...too many to choose from

Got off work early today. Brewing a Best Bitter.

3 gallons; 1044 OG
4# Maris Otter
0.25# C60
25 IBU EKG @ 60
10 IBU EKG @ 10
0.25# Honey @ flameout

Accidentally had 0.7 extra gallons pre boil. Had to add an extra 45 minutes to the boil. :)

Sounds nice.

I'm brewing an all Vienna pale ale.

5.25g
10# Vienna
1oz Cascade 60 min
1oz Chinook 10 min
1oz Simcoe 5 min
1007 top cropped from recent batch

Going to brew it low DO (ducks from barrage of slander).

Looks like a good beer. I can't imagine low DO right now. My process already seems overly complex. I am waiting for others to chart the low DO waters and report back with experiment results.

My process improvement might just become lowER DO. My reasoning is, like on the cold side, the less O2 pickup the better.
I know bittering with Cascade seems weird in this recipe, not sure why I chose that...I might change it to Chinook.

I have bittered with Cascade before. I don't remember any problems. Chinook is more cost efficient for bittering but we're brewers so cost is secondary.

I think lower O2 is likely better but I am not ready yet. I am still playing with my new Ph meter.

I like the idea of swapping the cascade and chinook which would mean less chinook to meet your IBU goal. This thought is based solely upon my frugality and habit of using higher alpha hops for bittering...

True, I might just cut the Cascade altogether because I like Chinook a lot. Nice piney hops to go with toasty malt character of the Vienna. Could be good.

Tommy, I'm (maybe not so) ashamed to admit that I don't have a pH meter yet. I'm trying to keep things simple as much as possible. I know, I'm limiting myself by not having one, but for now, I'm dealing with it.
