You could add them at the start but it's not mandatory. Hi Brittany,

Last 15 minutes of the the boil or earlier? Quick question–when do the rice solids go in? Last 15 minutes of the the boil or earlier?

It is a good beer. Nothing special, just good! A few friends have tried it and everyone agreed that it is a nice drinker. The one thing I dont like about this recipe is the rice solids are expencive.

I ran into issues with the carbonation in the keg, but the flavor was there. Light hop, sweet. flavor was exactly what I was shooting for. I have since done a second batch following my previous bout and boiled a little longer. Just transferred to secondery and I like the flavor. This time around it has a bit more hop, but still nice and sweet. Perfect for a hot summer day. I plan on working with the recipe for a while to dial in the best combination for my rig but it looks like that it will be a winner. Thanks for the help and advice. Marty Hi Mike,

Having boiled for ony 30 minutes will give you predominantly hop flavr and little bitterness. I am not sure what it'll taste like, but let us know.<br /> Why the use of brown sugar and not plain white sugar? Regardless, simple sugars will ferment out completely anyway, so the beer may still seem thin. In the future it would be better to use DME.<br /> I think in the end you'll have a lightly hop flavored ale that has a very clean finish. As for a lawnmower style this is likely to do the trick. If it comes out too thin though, try adding a half pound more DME to the boil next time around.<br /> BREW ON!</p> Hey Marty thanks for reading.

I am in the process of building a grain brewery but still need parts for my mash tun so I used your extract recipe. I haven't bottled yet so I wanted to get your thoughts on some of the modifications I made. I am trying to fill a 6 gallon carboy so I added some light brown sugar to boost the sugar content on the larger volume. In the past I found just adding more water made the beer watery. Hence more sugar. I think it may add a rummy flavor, but by using the light variety I figured it might be minimized. The shop that I got the ingrediants at didn't have 5% alpha, only 2% so I used 2 oz instead of 1 oz of Styrian Goldings. And lastly I missed your direction for a 60 minute boil and only did 30 min. I'm not a big hop fan, I think IPA is my least favorite beer so the reduced hop flavor might actually suit my taste. Any idea how it may taste? I sampled it when I transferred to primary. Light hop, very sweet. But I'm curious if you have tried these modifications in your development of the recipe. Marty Hi Mike,
