You know I was going to say something but I think I'll let this one stand on it's own!
Yeah, I guess it does.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to let the ladies know that SWMBO has found a great combination. She likes a shot of EF and a Young's Ram Rod Ale at the same time. Kinda weird.
You guys are just wrong... that's why I love this friggin' place.

I brewed up a 5.5 gallon version of this recipe in late December, except I converted to partial mash, swapped the Centennial for Galena and used Wyeast 1028 Smackpack. The beer turned out great! The last bit of greenness is aging out and in the next week or two I'll do a side by side.
But after having a bottle of EF a few days ago, I'll second what you said, this recipe is damn close!
Thanks again for sharing.

I was just looking at your recipe and it is fairly similar to mine, other than you subbed my favorite grain, Special B, for Munich. If you have any left, I would love to do a swap with you and check out the differences. Mine went into secondary today, so it won't be ready for a bit. If you are interested in a swap, send me a PM.

I'm bringing a keg of this to NHC, so we can sample both of them then!

I did my batch today and everything went great... although my OG came in @1.051 @ 70 degrees F. ant thoughts?
There could be a multitude of reasons why you missed your OG, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. It will still make for a nice beer.
I don't have an extract or PM version, but if I were going to do one I'd start by steeping all of the specialty grains in the amounts listed above (cut in half for a 5 gallon batch), then add extract to hit 1.060.
