It's gonna be tough to be patient with this one. It was already chugging along when I woke up this morning. I realized, this brew day was the most efficient ever for me. BeerSmith gave me an est. OG of 1.063... I ended up with 1.066 in the fermenter before pitching. Now, I just gotta figure out...

Never to early... well, maybe sometimes haha. Brewed my kit today... completely forgot the irish moss tablets... but, it was a double brew day for me and a buddy and when we couldnt find any in my apartment for his IPA, I felt only slightly better about forgetting it before haha. Scotch ale is...

Did you break down and try an early bottle?? :o I'm brewing this tomorrow. Pretty psyched for it. Got it as a Christmas present. Been typing the recipe into beersmith for the last hour or so. Let us know how it turns out!! :rockin:

Haha thanks! I don't feel as bad now!

Ahh... well, I hope you are right! I am going to transfer it onto some oak chips and bourbon for awhile too. Hopefully, that will hide any off flavors that may come of this mishap!

I'm in!

Makes sense now haha. The brewery I interned at does those as a specialty offer for a few months at a time

What's the definition of a s smash ale again?

Thanks guys! It's funny with those two mentions... the pumpkin ale and vanilla bourbon porter... I've never done a pumpkin ale and zymurgy has an article on bourbon oaked beer this month. I'm thinking a trip to the local home brew store and liquor store might be in order.... parts should be here...

Hey all, So, I haven't posted here in easily over a year and a half. I look at posts still weekly, put haven't had anything to say I guess. Since my last posting, I decided to switch careers to get into the brewing industry and I was able to accomplish that goal! February of 2011 I found a...

Subscribed! Good luck :rockin:

Hey guys... this isn't mine, but saw on CL in Boston, MA. I dont think i saw anyone else post this yet so.... Blichmann Conical Fermenter for $550

hey guys.... so i just cracked one open tonight to see if it would be ready for tonight. I have to tell you... its almost spot on! in my clone, you can just taste some more spicy notes. Also, the carbonation is still lacking. but i figure thats to be expected with just under 3 weeks...
