My Oatmeal Lake Walk has cleared in the keg and gotten very good. Can't imagine how good it'd be if I'd brewed it right!

The batch I have going at the moment is dry-hopping with 2 parts amarillo to 1 part simcoe. I love simcoe, but I wanted to let the amarillo come through, as I think simcoe has a more potent aroma. Trying to perceive them both more or less equally.

All other hop additions were according to the Dude's recipe, though.

Brewed this up a couple weeks ago as my 1st all grain (after years of mini-mash). Excellent beer, great grapefruit aroma and taste. I may try a little biscuit next time since I'm not really picking up on any toasted taste

Great beer!!

This was my first AG batch as well. It is the best beer I have brewed yet! You have given me hope, as my first three, while decent, were nothing out of the ordinary. Thanks for posting the recipe. it rocks!

sounds like a wonderful beer, i would love to try it. is there an extract version?

BrewManChu · 05-04-2010, 10:14 PM

wow. my second brew ever was a partial mash of this and it kills me even tho its not even carbonated yet.

fishnuttoo, try this:

Specialty Grains
1 lbs Caramel 60L
Malt
2 lbs Toasted US 2-row pale malt @153 60 min
6 lbs Alexanders Pale Liquid Malt Extract
Hops
.75 oz Amarillo (60 min)
.75 oz Simcoe (20 min)
1 oz Amarillo (5 min)
1 oz Simcoe (5 min)
1.25 oz Amarillo (dry hop)
1.25 oz Simcoe (dry hop)
Other
Safale US-05
Corn Sugar

i used this partial mash method. "http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/"

this method was quick and worked good. i seeped the the caramel malt in the sparge water before i moved the toasted malt grain bag to the sparge water.

Popped the cap on the first bottle of my second batch of this last night. Another great one. Just a great, fully-hopped APA without the bitterness that makes IPAs a little exhausting for the palate. I get my hops fix and a good drinkable beer, with that Simcoe-Amarillo magic and a really nice malt character.
Dude, I grew up in Newport News and have family there that I've been avoiding for years. When I do make it back in to town, I'd love to buy you a beer in thanks for this recipe.

Brewed a 10 gallon batch 3.5 weeks ago with some minor modifications due to what I had in stock. It's already very tasty and drinkable, although I suspect it will be even better in a few weeks. To me it's Pliny Lite, especially since I was going to do another batch of Pliny and at the last minute decided to ease back a bit on the alcohol content of my beers. It fits in nicely with my Evil twin & Munich Helles taps.

I made a 5g batch last night and got an OG of 1.060 and did no chill so I moved the 5 min hop additions to the FV and poured the hot wort onto it. I also used all MO with no toasting and used wyeast 1272 yeast slurry from two-hearted ale I brewed, pitched the yeast this morning. This is probably going to be more like an IPA

The first time i brewed this, i did allgrain and it came out awesome.

i have a good amount of extra light DME so was thinking of doing a 15g batch of this partial boil.

what do you recommend? 3lbs victory, 1.5lb crystal 60, and light DME to right OG? i figured i can leave the oats out as they dont add to flavor, just head, which the DME has a small amount of carapils in it
