I just pitched the notty on top of 5 gallons at 64º F. I went with 120L, 2# of Amber DME, .5 oz cascades and 4 gallons of Kirkland Juice. OG 1.060

I'm hoping for New Year's but would be completely happy to wait until super bowl weekend.

I just buttoned up my Carboy with my first batch. Followed the recipe to the T except I mashed with a full Gallon and Sparged with .25. I brewed in my kitchen with a Vegetable steamer in my bottling bucket. I needed more contact water. OG 1.062

Just brewed my second batch this weekend, and bottled first batch last weekend. Both Walmart $h@t juice. First batch was Crystal 60 with Notty. Last batch Crystal 120 with Notty and 2lbs brown sugar. Dumped about 4 gallons of apfelwein down the drain. Thought Brandon O was kind of harsh for his description of apfelwien, then tasted the pure hoochiness, and proceeded to place foot in mouth (tasted better than apfelwein). Not sure why, but couldn't shake the sulfur rhino farts. Anyways- new batch is bubbling violently.

BTW-- coming across the original graf thread got me reading the Dark Tower again. Only books I've ever re-read. Thank you Thank you!!!

Assuming that colbyjack^ made 2- 5 gallon batches. I just kegged my first. I spices mine with 3 cinnamon sticks, a clove and some nutmeg in the secondary. Tasting pretty good right about now

That puts us at 2191 gallons with my 5

First time making graff. Interested to see how it compares to apfelwein.

yep. 10 gallons from me. I just realized that the app version of HBT doesn't show the title of a post like the full version. My count was added in the title.

2196+5=2201

Made the recipe but with a LME and used German Brewers Gold 6.2% hops at .5 oz.

May be a bit to much hop but we will see. Tasted great when added to carboy. I think this will be one of my favorites. Its a bit less harsh than Apfelwein. While I like Edworts recipe I like mine a bit sweeter. With this recipe I dont have to backsweeten to get rid of the "hot" taste.
