How would this do for a parti-gyle brew. I was thinking that a big beer like this would hold up to a second weak beer. Anyone got any ideas on what I should do for the second beer and if this would be a good idea?
This turns into a deep reddish color, so you could probably get away with making it an amber or irish ale for your partigyle. I'm not sure what hops you'd use for it though.

what kind of turn around time do you get on this brew, I have a big concert coming up on June 9th and was thinking this would be a great brew to bring along, do you think two months is long enough to get it drinkable in the bottle?
Thanks for the help eviltoj, its getting brewed this weekend either way!
I brewed this but used only crystal 120 as my only adjunct. It was pretty damn close to the original. Those chinook hops just beat the crap out of my tongue. It was heaven!
Oh yea, two months should be fine for this beer, as long as you have good fermentation temps. The massive hop assault on your senses should cover up any possible flaws and make you weep in fear.

I think I'm going to make this, brew after next. I've been wanting to try reusing yeast, so I think I'll make a nice APA and then use the yeast cake for this bad boy.
