Im going to try this recipe. Why does it say All-grain? I dont have to do a full boil do I? How much Irish moss do i use? Thanks.

It says all grain cause I forgot to change it, and you cannot edit that part. You don't have to do a full boil either. I do age the beer warm in the keg... probably around 6 months or so. I'll typically brew one in late spring and get it on tap the following winter.

I'm doing this one again tonight, I might try and convert it to all-grain for my next time around, but if I do this one now it will be incredible by next winter, I know it will (plus I have the supplies sitting around)

Substituting Nugget for the chinook cause thats what I have in the freezer... love this beer!! only 13 bottles left!! (I gave away a bunch of 22ozers for xmas)

Brewed this yesterday and boy was I surprised.This is my 4th brew and I noted two things:

1. This thing was hard to get to hot break. It took almost 40 minutes for mine to get there. No other brew took that long.

2. This brew is one explosive fermenter. Sounds like a sick person on the toilet.

Luckily, I have a 9 mth old at home that woke me up at 4:30 this morning or I would have had a mess in the laundry room. I didn't take the warning and the airlock I used looked like a rocket ready for take off. Listen to the advice about a blowoff tube! Having to improvise at 4AM is not fun.

Other thank that,
I used 1 tsp of irish moss (no amt in the recipe.)

I didn't have chocolate extract so I just didn't put it in? Any suggestions/comments?

Can't wait to taste this one!

Just ordered the supplies to do a 5 gallon AG version of this (my own conversion) and a 2.5 gal extract batch to compare it to.
