Thanks for the awesome compliments! It means a lot to hear a fellow homebrewer give a positive and heartfelt review of my beer. As you've said of your own work, you are your own worst critic, and I am often mine.

With the brown ale, I did use two pounds of brown sugar (10-gallon batch) which explains a lot of the sweetness and molasses in the aroma and flavor. I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet beer, so I agree that this one came out pretty balanced. Any more sweetness and I probably wouldn't have like it as much.

I went a little crazy with the hop additions in the IPA. For a long time, I could never achieve the hoppiness I wanted in a beer, so I threw all caution to the wind on this one.

It was a 10-gallon batch, so adjust the amounts to get an idea for what it would have been in a standard 5-gallon.

Here's the hop schedule I used:

- 5 oz. Galena at 60 minutes
- 2.5 oz. Centennial divided and added at 15, 10 & 5 minutes
- 3 oz. Horizon divided and added at 2, 1, and 0 minutes
- 2 oz. Cascade dry hops

Most recipes I found for "hoppy" IPAs or pales call for some combination of about 3 oz. of hops, but I never felt that was enough.

I went up to over 5 oz. per 5 gallons on this one, but I still feel like there's room for more, so long as you keep the balance with the malt.

Also, I never feel like I get enough hop aroma in my beers, so on my latest creation, which is in the fermenter now, I heavily backloaded the hop additions and dry hopped with 2 oz. of Centennial to try and get as much aroma and flavor as I could. We'll see how it turns out.

I really enjoyed the exchange and we'll definitely have to do it again in the fall!
