brewed it and it is marvelous. Got about a 1/4 keg of it left now and it's about the best it's tasted, it's been in the kegerator for about 2 months now.

I listened to the podcast and now I am going to make me some dead guy!!! The question I have is that during the interview John Maier said that they used Great Western malt C15, which has a lovibond of 13-17 (according to their website). The cloned recipe uses carastan malt, from what I can see on Austin hombrew's website has a lovibond of 30-37. How is/was the colour going to be affected from utilizing different coloured malts? In addition, what is the flavor difference between carastan and caramalt in a dead guy clone, other than the colour (caramalt from simpsons is 25-35 L)?


edit caramalt from simpsons is 25-35 EBC, which I guess answers my own colour question, but what about flavor?

There's Carastan light (13-17) and Carastan dark (30-37). Though they are usually both referred to as just "Carastan"

Are the IBU's calculated Rager or Tineseth?

From first post:

Rogue lists Dead Guy at 40 IBU. The recipe however and the CYBI interview states 49 IBU.

That's a pretty huge difference.

Has anyone done this with the hop schedule listed above?

I think I have responded to this question three times since yesterday. Of course I don't mind, I am just surprised that there is suddenly this large interest in the IBU calculations. The simple answer is, the difference is just a manifestation of the IBU formula used. Rager produces 49, Tinseth about 38, Garetz about 30 for this hop bill. Rogue most likely measures theirs at 40.
