Bottled and ready to role.......

...my grav is still a bit high (1.017) ....

This beer is intended to be malt forward with significant mouthfeel. With my system and process, a 154F sac rest, a 90 minute boil, and WLP001 gets me about 68-72% attenuation (or 1.018-1.020 FG in this case.) My last batch, which I'm pouring now, finished at 1.022 and you'd swear it tastes like 1.012. Big mouthfeel, hoppy flavor, dry finish. It would be a totally different beer mashed at 151F.

1.017 is perfectly okay with this beer and its 63 IBUs as long as the remaining gravity is due to non-fermentable sugars.

Tasty

Crap! OG 1.063 FG 1.010. I thought it tasted too bitter.

Passed out unexpectedly last night due to this beer

Mine is way bitter, and lacks malt backbone.
Gonna keg it and cross fingers.

[NHBrewer]

Mine is way hoppy in the sample as well but will keg and think it should be good to go.

FG 1.014 from 1.073 thats 80% attenuation. I think I am in the Brown IPA area.
maybe I should have not eliminated the Carapils even though I went with Marris Otter.
I may be a bit thin but I am betting that it will be great once carbed.

Just kegged mine. IT went from 1.072 to 1.021. It was malty, hoppy and a bit sweet. This one will really benefit from the 2oz of amarillo in the keg!

I kegged this a few weeks back, but finally got it into the keggerator last night. I tasted a sample, and it was pretty impressive. I believe the exact words out of my mouth were, "Tasty!"


So, have we figured out any more specifics of when and where we'll be sending beers?

UPDATE: Anyone still "in" should have had ample time to brew and or package. If anyone is bottle conditioning - and you haven't done it yet - do so immediately... (and shoot me an email when you do).

I'm going to send out the "last call" email tonight. As soon as I get confirmation from everyone I will draw and figure out the groups. I hope to get the emails out by Sunday - and give people a week or two to finish packaging and ship (right now targeting a shipping deadline of January 16th).
