I am definitely making this beer soon. It looks simply amazing.

Just to add my $0.02... I brewed a 5 gal batch around the beginning of the year. A week of bottle conditioning, then 3 weeks later the batch was gone. Loved it, and everyone else who tried it - including 3 Czechs and a few Mexican co-workers. I dig the feedback from the Czechs, who I personally think have some great world-class beers...

Anyway, brewed a 10 gal batch a few weeks ago and it's well on its way too. I think this will become one of my regulars.

I kinda like the brown sugar idea from one of the more recent posts. I think I'll try and work that into my next batch ... Which Should be pretty soon.

Kudos to the OP! Na zdraví!

I did a partial mash, and after 3 weeks in the bottle I'm down to 1.013. This is a little higher than I want, but I think I did only add .75 lbs of honey. Would that explain why it's a little high?

I'll give it another week anyway.

there can be a lot of causes for a higher gravity.. what temp did you mash at during your partial mash? what temp were you fermenting at? did you use a starter? since you did a partial mash you have no control over the extract. if it came from a bad batch (its possible) that was mashed to high then it won't ferment as well. what was your OG?

I'd recommend the honey malt to go with the brown sugar as well. Then you'll still get a sweeter flavor depending on how much you decide to use, and then the brown sugar will rack up that ABV as well....
