Local Homebrew Store
And start with a pale ale. Nothing fancy, but tasty, nonetheless.

http://www.howtobrew.com/find out if there is a BOP (Brew on Premise) near you. That would be the easist way.

11. Where are you located and when will it be ready? |
|
That would add a nice dimension to it. I'm going to try and finish my keggle this weekend, I been waiting to do my next batch until it's ready.

15. Sounds great but I'd substitute |
|
Amarillo hops for Cascades, quanity adjusted for alpha acid for the dry hop. It sounds like a great beer.

16. I'm going to pass on the dry-hopping. |
|
It's already got something like 160 IBUs without the addition of dry hops. If I wanted my beer to taste like my backyard, I would add grass clippings.

17. Hmmm.... grass clippings |
|
I've considered that before. I'm a hophead so I usually go lighter in the boil and get the flavor from the dry hop. I love the floral, fruity thing balancing the bitterness in my IPA's. BTW I don't use cascades anymore because of the unreliability of their flavor.

18. I'm the opposite. I like beers that are hugely malty... |
|
but I'm making an IPA for a change of pace.
I was thinking of a beer I had in Czechoslovakia a few years back at Pivovar U Fleku, Praha. Black as midnight, but a huge malt flavor...without that astringency normally associated with black beers (from too much black patent malt, I believe).

I'll have to dig out my Reaper's Imperial Stout recipe from 2001. 11.2% abv, I can't remember finishing gravity, but, crazy, ridiculous , huge malt. I still have 2 bottles and they have gotten better every year.
