Moose Drool by Big Sky Brewery - Page 9

Holy old thread, Batman! I was disappointed to find upon moving from MI to NY that I could get neither Big Sky nor New Belgium beers. Now having moved to AL, the situation is the same here. Oh well.

In two weeks, though, SWMBO and I are heading to MT to see my in-laws. Moose Drool here we come! If only it was like the old days -- before we met, and before the TSA rules changed, SWMBO used to bring a case of Moose Drool home as her carry-on. Now that's a good woman.

Moose Drool

OG 1.052
Color 38
IBU 26

Pale 87%
Crystal 75 10%
Chocolate 2.8%
Black .2%

Final Mash Temp 154° F

70 minute boil

20 IBU East Kent Goldings

Liberty and Willamette for flavor and aroma for total of 26 IBU

Fullers ale yeast

This recipe shows a color of 38, but plugging this into BeerSmith gets me nowhere near this. Typo or different rating than SRM? I'm doing an extract batch and switched to dark DME and crystal 120L and barely get 23 SRM for color, so this has me confused.

I plugged this recipe into BrewMate and it gave me a SRM of 18.6 and an EBC of 36.6 so Big Sky must use EBC when referencing color.

Thanks for this thread! This beer is ****ing radical and one of my wife's favorites so we are brewing it AS I TYPE(just added 30min Liberty hops)! Changed a few things up with hop additions just because I can't stand to follow all the rules, but the grain bill is from OP.

Nothing really to add other than I'm clearly excited and again appreciative for access to this recipe!
