Can you Brew It recipe for Stone Arrogant Bastard - Page 3

**samc** · 11-09-2010, 10:24 PM

In light of the recent "almost cloned" Can You Brew It, I'd wait until the final recipe gets posted up here. You are using the Special B as they recommend but in different percentages and you have a higher mash temp as well. You are showing boil time of 60 with 90 minute hop additions, that can't be good. You are also showing 90 & 85 minute bittering which will not work as it will be way too bitter.

It would be a good idea to wait until you see the final recipe, and try to match your % of grains, IBUs and OG. I'd minimize some of the early hop additions too, that would end up really bitter, especially with the lower OG.

90% 2-row
10% special B
All chinook hops
WLP007

Well I think it's pretty clear why it's called Arrogant Bastard! hahahaha. It would take one hell of an arrogant bastard to attempt a recipe like that!

Hey guys,
Heard back from Tasty and it seems like this is very, very, very close. I didn't hear the entire show due to work, but it seemed like everyone but Tasty thought it was there. Here's the info I have:

OG 1.066

90% US 2-Row
10% Special B

Chinook 24g 13%AA @ 85', 45', 15', and 0'.

WLP007

Anyone else surprised that the recipe is this simple? That there is no dry hops?

I totally believe that this recipe will get your there, but I was a bit surprised how simple it is too.

Thanks to Tasty for all of his hard work.

If you miss the shows you can always check out the video at justin.tv/brewingnetwork to find them

BrookdaleBrew · 11-10-2010, 10:48 AM

I'm just curious how they decided on such a simple recipe when in the last show they were talking about all that crystal malt. I wonder if they got some inside info?

WOW! yeah I'm really surprised that it's this simple. I've recently done the original clone recipe from the show. I guess I need to do this one as well.

Hey, don't forget you left the 2nd post in this thread as a future place holder for the re-brew recipe.

permo · 11-10-2010, 04:10 PM

I am wondering how they came up with the second recipe? I am wondering if C150 might be the lone dark crystal as opposed to special B? I know stone uses C150.....I am not sayin...but I am just sayin.

regardless, I am brewing this new one up and convention be damned, I am dry hopping with centennial and columbus. Aromatic Bastard!

Freezeblade · 11-10-2010, 05:24 PM

I don't remember seeing bags of Special B when I was at stone, at least, not enough to warrant the amount that they brew Arrogant Bastard. But yeah, lots of bags of C150 though.

permo: I've seen at stone sometimes they throw in a keg-hopped version on cask, so the precedent is there.
