1.021 seems rather high. I hope it drops a few more points before you bottle. |

It is still doin its thang. the airlock is still going about 8 times a minute. Your origional post has a FG of 1.020. I know this may be a dumb question, and please forgive me if it is, but how much difference is .001. How will it change the flavor.

I used Pacman yeast (with a starter), 1.075 OG; 1.015 FG. Took several days for fermentation to really take off, had trouble with my swamp cooler keeping it under 70F.
I have tried mine with only 1 week in bottle (I'm usually patient) but the sample I had when bottling was great so was worth trying. More like a bock, not enough 'bastard' in it yet and is a great beer.

Drinking one right now...Excellent clone and close to the original...I'll brew this again but I think I'll double up on bittering additions and dry hoping...

I am going to brew this one on Saturday. How big a yeast starter do you guys recommend? WY1056 a good yeast for this?
Also - I only have Marris Otter on hand for base grains - think that will over-malt the taste?

How will this be in 6 weeks? I was planning on brewing this Saturday for a Party on Dec 12. I guess that seems so far away, but it's only 6 WEEKS!
I'm going to go MO because I have it on hand as well and will double up on the bittering and and extra .5oz at KO.

Marris Otter will work fine for it. The Chinook is really aggressive, so the maltiness really won't overpower the hops at all. I think six weeks will work out just fine! That's about how long I go from brewday to drinking it.

I ended up using US 2 row. I just kegged it last night, force carbed tonight and poured my first pint (only 5 weeks from grain to glass!). I have to say tho, it really needed 2 oz of chinook dryhopped for 5 days before it actually tasted like the original.
Without the dryhop, it simply tasted like a nice ale - but definitely not arrogant.
My hop schedule:
1oz 60 min
1 oz 45 min
1.25 oz 2 min
2 oz dry-hop 5 days.
I am impressed - truly impressed - with how similar the beer is to actual AB. Kudos to this recipe!!! I will make this again thats for sure! Having Arrogant Bastard on tap is, however, very dangerous for me... lol

I'm going to brew this one up tomorrow. I'm going to use Pacman yeast and will modify the hopping schedule somewhat. I am trying to get rid of some year-old leaf hops so I'm assuming some degradation in AA%.
Here's the hop schedule I'm going to use:
1 oz. Chinook - 60 min.
.5 oz. Simcoe - 45 min.
.5 oz. Chinook - 30 min.
.5 oz. Chinook - 20 min.
.5 oz. Simcoe - 15 min.
.5 oz. Chinook - 8 min.
.5 oz. Chinook - 2 min.
1 oz. Chinook - Dry Hop
I should get upwards of 88 IBUs and a nice bastardy flavor.

I like the flavor hop additions at 30-8 mins - I will probably do the same when I brew this again to get more of the arrogant flavor mine was missing.
