Notes: Seep grains for 20 to 25 minutes at 150 to 160 degrees.
Add Irish Moss with 20 minutes left in the boil.
You could also use Lallemand Brye-97 American West Coast Yeast.
This is designed to taste a little like a Fat Tire Ale.

Notes: Meant to brew a DIPA, but overshot the malt bill a little... okay a lot. Also, using a Mr. Beer keg to ferment in, and thought it was 2.5 gallons, when it's really only 2.

Notes: 9/27/15: Created 1.3 liter starter of 1.023 wort, and added one vial of WLP-648 (Brett Drie) and dregs from Surly Pentagram (Brett Bruxellensis and Claussenii). Finished with an estimated 21 billion cells.

10/5/15: Stepped up with a 2.5 liter starter of 1.040 wort. Very fruity aroma, strong fermentation. Finished with an estimated 110 billion cells.

10/18/15: Stepped up with 3 liter starter of 1.040 wort. To finish with an estimated 319 billion cells.

10/28/15: Created a 1 liter 1.040 starter of OYL-605 (L. brevis and L. plantarum).

10/29/15: Brew day. Original gravity of 1.042 temperature corrected to 1.046. Very murky; trub from the Carapils? The high wheat content? Hopefully fermentation, time, and the brett will clean it up. Added 22mL lactic acid solution and pitched lacto starter around 11pm.

10/30/15: Pitched yeast and around 300mL of starter medium into wort ~24 hours after pitching lacto.

10/31/15: Fermentation slowly started, but about 24 hours after pitching yeast, a noticeable krausen had formed and was blowing off.

11/1/15: Krausen subsided, but vigorous fermentation still underway. Looks like the lactic acid didn't lower the pH sufficiently to prevent foam degradation from the lactobacillus.

11/9/15: Fermentation has slowed over the past three days, but there is still significant activity.

Notes: Steep the grains in the mid 150s for 45-60 minutes.
It is assuming a 5 gallon batch,
3 gallon - 60 minute boil, and adding the extract at the beginning.

If you can do a full boil you probably wouldn't need the extra 1oz.Citra at 60 minutes.

Extract notes from the forum thread author:
As far as First Wort Hop / Steeping hops.... I would add them with around 10 min left in steep (before rinse), and put them in a different bag than the grain. Then you can leave them in for the whole boil.

Notes: Pitched 2 packs of Wyeast London Ale III at 72.

Mixed canned pumpkin with honey and baked at 350 for 60 minutes. Let cool, placed in nylon grain bag and boiledv for 60 minutes.

Steeped specialty grains in 2.25 gallons of water 150 - 160 for 30 minutes. Sparged with 1.25 gallons of water 170.

Was left with 2.5 gallons of wort after straining into fermenter. Added 3 gallons of water to bring total to 5.5. OG was 1.082, FG 1.020.

Sliced Vanilla Beans lengthwise and scraped out seeds and everything inside into 4 oz of vodka. Chopped bean into 1/4 inch pieces and added to solution as well. Marinated for 1 week and then added to secondary.

Add .5 tsp of Capella's Graham Cracker Extract to secondary. Add the other .5 tsp to bottling bucket.

Notes: Steep at 155
Two weeks before bottling start the infusion of Pablano, chipotle, and Jalapeno peppers, without seeds, in about 5 oz of cheap vodka.
After two weeks strain the infusion through coffee filters to remove the trub.
Add the infusion to the bottling bucket along with the sugar before bottling.
Transfer to secondary after one week or ten days then after a week in secondary cold crash the beer for two weeks.

Before bottling add 1/2 pack of us-05 to the bottling bucket to ensure carbonation.

Notes: Excellent flavor and strong hops bouquet. Hops blend (Simcoe, Columbus, Citra) gives notes of pine and citrus fruit with some of the unique floral and berry characters of Citra. Cascade goes in early in the boil due to low alpha content. Most of the bitter come from the Hop add with 15 minutes to go. Dry hopped Cascade to give it an all American balance. Medium bitterness with strong hop aroma and flavor. Higher than normal alcohol content for APA, at top of the band, but it fits. Almost an IPA, but would need to start with a higher gravity. You can lower the alcohol by dropping the wheat extract, but adjust the hops too or it'll be too bitter.

Yeast starter - use 3.6 oz (103g) dry malt extract (DME) [I use pilsner 2L DME] per liter of water. My starter is a 1 liter starter, assumed 6B cells per gram of dry yeast (US-05), giving 165B cells for a 144B requirement. If you aim for a pitch rate between .5 and .75million/ml/P, then it's good. You could just buy a couple more yeast packages to make it easier (which I will do next time!!) (each packet is about 66B cells). Then there's no need for a starter. Just hydrate them with tepid water before adding to wort. Aim for around 200B cells for a 5.5 gallon batch.

Grains added to cold water, which was heated to 165F and steeped for 30 minutes.

There are only three hop adds to the boil: 60 min, 15 min (with the Irish moss), and a quick 5 min in the boil. Use hop bags because it makes draining your wort significantly easier!, but don't put the moss in the bag!

Boil off losses should be topped off with distilled water during the boil.

Maintain in primary (at 70F, keep below 74F to avoid off flavors) until no noticeable bubble formation in fermentation lock over one-minute period (about 7-10 days). Then transfer to secondary and add dry hops in a sanitized hop bag secured with fishing line and weighted down with sanitized marbles to suspend in middle of carboy. 14 more days in secondary. Remove dry hops and bottle as below. [Post brewing note: 4 oz of dry hops are a lot! Even with 20 marbles, I was not able to submerge the hop bag completely. This is easier with a bucket type fermenter. Stuffing the hop bag through the tiny carboy opening is a chore and takes some time and patience, but it can be done!]

Priming with 5oz corn sugar, gives strong carbonation with good head retention.
