So how can I figure the OG of this? It was 5.25 gallons with 3LBS Pilsen DME, 1 LB 10Lovi, 4 Ounces Choc, Three Gallons Apple Juice, and 1 can Apple Consentrate. I final came out to 1.009 or so. Not carbed yet, but seemed like once the mouthfeel is right it is going to be damn tasty.

I used this yeast, I have a post one or two back about my exact recipe, seems to taste pretty clean and good. Was happy with it at bottle time. Waiting now for carb.

Alright, this is on deck for me next along with a stout I have planned. I'm thinking of doing two 5G batches: one straight and one with berries (probably strawberries, but I'm still debating). What would you do to offset the added tartness of the berries? Up the Crystal by a quarter pound?

I brewed the recipe straight up. Pitched the Nottingham without rehydrating, just threw it straight in. Blowoff action with in a day. Done fermenting in two weeks, but needed a serious age in the keg. Not good at all for the first week in keg, but then it came around. Got better with every passing week, and it still improves as the days go by. I'm gearing up for batch #2, and may add some fruit to mess around with it. Great drink, and it gets you pretty drunk.

That's right I just finished reading all 84 pages of this thread. I will be brewing this early next week. Really looking forward to it. I do have one question,(not sure how after 84 pages) I will most likely use WLP001 as I don't have any Notty, any thoughts good or bad?

WLP001 will be just fine. You just want to use a clean fermenting yeast that won't add too much extra to the flavors. That is, unless you want to screw around with the recipe a bit. i say, do it straight up first time. Very rewarding drink.

Two weeks ago, I brewed up my 2nd batch of this stuff. The 1st was pretty good, but because I didn't have my Air Conditioners in and the temperatures went from mild spring to August hot when I was out of town, I have some off flavors. Still some pretty damn good stuff.

Batch 2 is in a swamp cooler that SWMBO maintains ice in when I'm out of town (it may have converted her to the dark side) and was made with 3 gals of Apple juice and 1 gal of Pomegranite. MY GOD does it smell quacktastic. I'm letting it sit probably another week and a half to two before bottling.

I brewed up my first batch of this about 2 weeks ago. I did 4 gallons with 3 gallons unfilterred organic apple juice. It's still in the primary but I snuck some out with the thief over the last weekend and it tasted pretty nice.

I have a question. Where did the name Graff come from. Did Brandon O come up with the name, or is it the proper name for such a beverage?
