Anybody going to Steves this afternoon from Ypsi? Can you pick up a couple of bottles of the Bob & Kim's Amarillow pale ale that breed for this effort. They are in a red and white cooler in my carport. Thanks
I have a previous commitment, up in Frankenmuth, judging at the commercial World Expo of Beer competition.
Sure Mike, I can do that.

To make things go smoother the day of the tasting, I have made a spreadsheet for everyone who would like to share their brewing methods on brewola #2. Then at the event with spreadsheet in hand it should help expedite the process of determining beer differences…
here's the link:
<removed, since it is a public spreadsheet> (please e-mail me for the link or check the e-mail list….)
Make sure the tab at the bottom is (#2 -14B. American IPA)
Thanks, Justin

Finally got the Amarillo Ale into a keg last night. I'm a bit behind schedule on this brew. Can someone post some quick instructions for bringing samples to the tasting event on Saturday? How many bottles? What sort of label, if any, do I need to affix? Is that handled first-thing by an entry coordinator or something? This experience is a first for me. Thanks!

I have it in my calendar as April 24th at 1:00pm at Steve Krebs' place. http://hbd.org/mailman/private…..08703.html seems to confirm that, but I don't know where Steve lives.

I know mine is good- I am down 10 gallons on my 20 gallon batch!
I think I will save the last 10 gallons for a couple of summer events – less a couple of bottles for the tasting

I finally have it together – the hops are here – the grain has been gathered at Jack's place – and we can put together the kits.
I am available Thurday or Friday evening or Sat. am – to put these together. Here is a quick survey st see what works out best for the group: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/S5QDMVM
The 'Either sounds good' kits will be built as NNPA – this will make 65 gallons of NNPA and 55 gallons of B&K's I have updated the list to include Jeff Renner, Mark R. and Steve K. kits. We now have 20 all grain kits and 5 extract kits.
The Recipes on Fred Bonjour's site http://beerdujour.com/Recipes/…..e_Ale.html http://beerdujour.com/Recipes/…..ecipe.html
The NNPA kit has all Perle and Cascade The B&K's has Victory malt for the Biscuit.
Kits can be picked up after assembly – at the meeting – or by appointment – give me a call. I currently have payments from Carl, Dave, Arnold, George. See the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/S5QDMVM
The payment schedule: Please add $1 to the amounts below for PayPal (obrien@ypsilantibrewing.com) if you use their service: 5 gallons all-grain Amarillo pale ale recipe $27 5 gallons extract Amarillo pale ale recipe $35 5 gallons all grain NNPA recipe $27 5 gallons extract NNPA recipe $35
The competition entries are due Saturday, April 3, 2010. Therefore, a late March date (either March 27th or March 28th) is appropriate for review of the finished products.
Time to brew! Don't forget the Irish Moss!
Crispy will bring a grain mill – If you need your grain milled – and are not going to be at the assembly event let us know. See the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/S5QDMVM
Just in case you forgot what you ordered.

Crispy….what's your preferred fermentation temperature on this? Do you use the same temp for other recipes which may use the same yeast?
Thanks.
Mark
I have been at the whim of my basement table top temp for years which is a pretty constant 68o. I have used heat pads before and taken it up to 72o, but I prefer 66o-68o – it is a little less fruity.

The recipe on the forum is your original 2000 Big Brew recipe on Fred's linked web site (below), with your comment "This was my 19th atempt at cloning SNPA – since then I have dropped the dextrin malt, used Crystal 40oL instead of 60oL and split the bittering hops to 1/2 ounces Magnum and Perle each. Still, the recipe is solid and I am getting ready to brew my 50th iteration of this recipe for my 50th birthday in April."
OK Jeff – here is the latest & greatest. Love this recipe!

Notes —–
SNPA calls for Caramel instead of Crystal, but to me they are interchangeab le. Additionally, SNPA uses both Magnum and Perle, so I have split a half o unce each in lieu of the straight one ounce of Perle, but then I am left wi th 0.5 ounces so…
I truely prefer the Chico ale yeast strain (WYeast 1 056) over the WLP001 or Safale 56.
This is my most updated, perfected recipe. I don't think that has been posted anywhere.

My vote is for either of the recipes that originated in the club. I knew of these before I joined the club and I have confidence that…
1) Neither one sucks and
2) they're both better than my last attempt at a pale ale which included way too much (what's a factor of 4 or 5?) fermax yeast nutrient. Every experienced brewer who tasted that POS said something like…"uh…what's your water like?". tasted like a high alkalinity problem. Opinions from the less experienced were something in the neighborhood of…"that tastes crappy."
All that to say, pick one and I'll brew it. (sans yeast nutrient)
Brian
