How did the Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA turn out?

@rockcrawler4x4 Amazingly good... it actually tasted like the real thing!

I miss brewing, I moved to Germany and I live in an apartment now. Its kinda cramped and I havent brewed a batch in over 6 months. You should check out an autosiphon, its the best piece of kit I bought next to the immersion chiller. Great video!

[anarchotron]

@RGH1502 Yeah I live in an apartment now, myself, and I don't get to brew very often. It's actually fully doable in an apartment, but I'm sort of averse to making an bigger mess in here than I absolutely have to :)

nice video. can you hook me up with the recipe? have you tried to force carbonate? i force carbonate beers that dont have to age, and im able to drink them within an hour of kegging. im making an ipa and dry hopping with 2 ounces of citra hops. they use these in the sierra nevada torpedo beer from what i hear.

@iggster433 I usually keep the pressure on the keg at 20psi for about a week, and roll it occasionally, then drop to 12 psi and serve! The recipe is from this book by Sam Calagione himself, 'Extreme Brewing: An Enthusiast's Guide to Brewing Craft Beer at Home'.

How about a short video of the finished product??? Also, where did you get your recipe from or was it a kit?

[saucychurch23]

assuming the brewer has all the hoses, glass jugs and all equipment used to make this beer, about what does it cost to make 1 Kegs worth of beer?

[saucychurch23]

@anarchotron ahh, wonderful. thanks for the information!

[anarchotron]

@BangerBrewingCo Yeah I like that idea. My kegerator is the only thing in which I could do that, but it would be totally worth it. I've tried filtering beer with plate filters, and the results are good, but it takes alot of time and hassle, so I've pretty much given up on filtering, and just counting on my fermenting process to get most of the solids out. I will certainly try cold-crashing it next.

[anarchotron]

@rocknrollpriest Totally right, I've started doing that pretty religiously over the years.

[anarchotron]

@RaisingDaisies It was amazingly good.

@saucychurch23 You can save and re-use your yeast about 4 times though. Something like the DFA 60 is probably about $35 on average if you use all-grain and reuse your yeast, or about $50 if you use extract and a fresh yeast vial each time. Not bad for 40 pints of beer, either way.

[anarchotron]

@saucychurch23 Not including yeast, about $30-40 for extract and about $20-30 for all grain.  Higher gravity 'bigger' beers require more malt and hops, so those are the ones on the expensive end. Something crazy like a belgian quad would be more like $40-50. Yeast adds about $10.
