Damn.. I would like to be in.. Getting awfully tired of no backyard in the condo I am renting... still not committed to buying in this city, although I did just start looking at 10 acres of backyard and how much that costs outside Jacksonville.

Ok, seems like we've got a few people interested in a CP homebrew collaboration.
Here's what I was thinking and have seen done on other beer forums, and please feel free to chime in with alternative or better ideas: - Start an official signup thread. Whoever is interested posts their name and a couple styles they like or think would work for all experience levels. - Once we know who's interested, we can create a poll or come to a consensus on the style. - From there we can vote/come to a consensus on the ingredients, yeast, and brewing/fermentation process. We should be able to convert the recipe for all/partial grain and extract brewers. - Ideally, everyone would brew the recipe on their own and post photos, thoughts, tasting notes, recommendations, whatever. - Profit. My threads typically have the same probability for success as a child sired by Travis Henry, but I don't mind organizing it unless someone with more homebrewing experience and/or CP clout wants to do it. What do y'all think? |

Suggestion would be to make a simple beer, maybe a pale ale or a Saison. This time of year with warmer temps Saison is easy to ferment, a yeast like Wyeast 3274 can make a good Saison at 75-80 degrees in fermentation. I have temp control for fermentation but I know many do not. |

I agree with you and was thinking session IPA or pale, but you bring up a good point on the wide fermentation temp range for saisons, plus their simplicity of ingredients and drinkability. We can leave it here for a day or so for any more feedback and then get an official signup of who's interested and go from there. |

I'd love to try the group recipe. Remote participant from Denver. All grain, 3 gallon batch setup.
I'm totally up for an IPA as well. Was planning on trying the Avery Maharaja recipe this summer.

I think it'd be cool if we could all do a batch within the same couple of days. Almost like a fantasy football draft online. Getting everyone to join in and post their updates in the same thread. Then we could all be on the same cycle and decide upon the exact recipe, boil time, fermentation time, ect.
Then all be able to drink the same beer within a day or two of each other after 6 weeks or whatever time frame. Just have an entire thread dedicated to our homebrew updates and help others who seemed to run into problems. Post pics or videos. My first batch is looking great so far. The airlock is going crazy already. But I have the temp hovering around 68 degrees. I'd really be excited if my first batch goes smoothly. I felt like the brew night was a success and didn't run into any issues. Blurry pic but this is after 22 hours. Last edited by KCrockaholic; 05-16-2017 at 07:53 PM.. |

If anyone wants a free option to beersmith, I use brewtoad.
https://www.brewtoad.com/ Someone can publish the recipe, anyone with a free account can then enter a brew log that automatically adjust the recipe for their system.

Interested in doing a concurrent brew with everyone. I have a 5 gallon setup but would probably do a half batch because of space/bottling restrictions for me.

This is the second go at this recipe, the first time I wasn't aware of 3274's tendency to stall. Now I have some heating wraps on a controller. I'm 4 days in, I had it at about 80 for a couple days and now have it at 86 Any advice on temps and time?

You may want to give the fermenter a little shake to rouse the yeast just a bit. I have never gone above 80 using that yeast, curious to see how the 96 effects it. Quote:
I have a carboy heater that I put on the carboy then I put it in a chest freezer I have with temp control. My temp controller has a plug for heat and cool so between the carboy heater and the freezer they kick on and off to maintain temp. I have the temp probe taped to the carboy to monitor its temperature not the temp of the freezer. I can keep temp within a few degrees of set point all the time using this method. In the summer I dont need the heater just the cooling unless I am making a saison or something I want to maintain 80 degrees or so. |

Heh. How about something that is a little more forgiving? I have a stable 67° environment during the summer.

I guess we could start informal poll to see what style but IPA appears to be a favorite.
