This beer is absolutely amazing!

I've been drinking it and loving it for a couple of weeks now. Every time I take it somewhere, people just love it.

At a party last week a friend finished off his pint, and then cracked open a Fat Tire, took a swig, put a disgusted look on his face and said "Fat Tire is ass compared to your beer"

Then last night I was drinking with a friend, and had some Boddington's. I know that the recipe is a bit different now, but side by side, this beer was always preferred to actual Boddington's.

This is going to be made very, very often. If I had a nitro setup to put this on, it would be perfect.

Do you think dry-hopping this with some EKG would be overkill ?

I'd try it without first.

1 oz Chocolate Malt

Hopping schedule:
1oz Northern Brewer, First Wort Hops
1oz EKG (45 minutes)
1oz EKG (0 minutes AKA flameout)

Feel free to round off at your convenience

.

Any advice out there on which malt extract to use to replace the Maris Otter?

Same recipe, but shorter, from page 2 or 3 of the thread. This is what I ordered off of and did, it was good.

I kegged this beer this weekend. Its a good beer and my wife loved it.

How many volumes do you carb this to?

Saw some discussions in a different thread about carbing bitters to 1.8 volumes or so, so I was wondering how much to do this one to.

Thanks,

This was my first AG brew.. I followed directions and well.. this is the best beer I ever made. I used a starter and Wyeast 1028. Fermented in the primary for 21 days at 63F and bottled 7 days ago... I chilled one last night and tried it this afternoon for lunch (it's Friday come on..) I tell ya, it has a wonderful smell, taste and mouthfeel. Just a smooth good tasting brew, wow. I realized after it was almost done that I should take a picture of it so I put it in the crystal vase by the window and snapped a quick pic... I primed with DME and that head stayed on the whole way down and the 'history' on the side of the glass remained until I drank next... it would still be there if I could have restrained myself... Now why didn't I chill 2-3 down??
