ARRRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! CANT STAND IT!!!!!!!! Beer has been in the bottle for 4 days. I want to drink one STAT! I know it wont be carbed yet, so I'll have to wait, but it is sooooooo hard being patient.
Santa is bringing me a second fermenter so next year I will have fewer waits in between beers.

Next week, I'll put up some photos of the recent brews in the glass. Most are looking really good, though waiting for the carbonation on the IPA right now is killing me. Damn waiting.

Man, that's going to be a piney/citrusy hop bomb! Classic NW IPA... gotta be excited for that. Just make sure you do a good sparge on that Beer In A Bag to make sure you don't end up light on gravity.
Mmm, that looks like a tasty number. All those late additions are going to leave you with an awesome amount of flavour and aroma. Is there enough in there early on to deliver the IBUs?

I hope so FHG. (ps... I typed HPG and had to change it... hahha) I've been reading up on the hop bursting technique and this is my first attempt at it. The copious amount of hops added late will up the bitterness, but also add flavor and aroma. As a result, the advice is to lower the early bittering hops to keep it balanced. I'll let you know how it ends up.
This is the one of the better articles I've read on the subject. http://www.mrmalty.com/late_hopping.php

My rough calcs show you sitting somewhere in the 7-8% alcohol range (depending on your temperature control in the mash and the type of yeast you're using), and something around 30-40 IBUs. So it'll be a strong ale, not particularly bitter for the sweetness and alcohol, but just packed with hop flavours and aromas. Nice, sounds like a good brew.

Pretty close. I use Hopville to store my recipes. You can have a look here if you like. I recommend the website. Its easy to use and has a very large list of ingredients. http://hopville.com/recipe/1667328
Its a 23L batch. Hopville calculates it at just a shade under 6% with 67.8 IBUs.

Oh yeah, the guy at the LHBS also threw in a $25 bag as well for me to mash in. I stopped near the rack that had the bags and asked him which one I need. He said "I'll get you one from the back." He didn't tell me it was free. I fully expected to pay for it, but when I got home and looked at the receipt, the bag was not on the list. Smiles...

Do you have the gear to boil starting with 26-30 L in order to arrive at 23 at the end? Or will you be topping up after the boil? Don't want to lose those IBUs!!
I guesstimated the alpha acids in the hops and your malt extraction % when I did the calcs myself... perhaps hopville wasn't as optimistic as I? I generally use BrewTarget for my recipes. Same stuff, different pile.

I'm borrowing a 30L stainless steel pot. Picking it up tomorrow, brew day Sunday. I am really, REALLY looking forward to this one.
