I got a pound of it as a gift from winning a gold medal at a homebrew contest recently. I looked through my recipe books and it seems to be used in a lot of the belgian ales, as well as the petes wicked ale and bert grant clone recipes. It's nearly Identical to it's sister hop Bullion, so any...

I keep a spreadsheet of how much ingredients I have on hand, but never thought to total anything up. Turns out I have 303 lb grain in the garage and 13.8 lb hops in the chest freezer. Time to quit planning brews and get out in the driveway and brew them up. I totally feel like a hoarder right now.
Northern Brewer used to have a kit named Luckiest Man that used 100% HBC-438 (Now named Sabro).
I brewed the extract version of it in 2016, it turned out as one of my best beers at the time, so I did the all grain version in 2017 and 2018.
I make it for an annual get-together with my old navy...
I'm assuming you are referring to fermentation temps, I use a chest freezer with an inkbird controller (about 30 bucks on amazon).
If you were referring to mash temps, I can direct fire my mashtun (keggle with a false bottom), but if you use a cooler setup then you would add some (not sure how...
So my beer has carbed up, and I tried a bottle over the weekend and wanted to update this. I did add some WLP099 a couple days before bottling to make sure I had viable yeast to carbonate since I bottle condition. My OG was 1.112 and FG ended at 1.030, which I was afraid it would be too sweet...
This seems to be contradictory of what I read in the reviews on Yakima Valley, where someone said that they filled 34 5ml syringes with one can.
Therefore 100g=170ml.
What kind of final gravity are you guys getting? I ended at 1.030 which seems too high to me. I used WLP002 ang got 71% attenuation. Should I bother adding another yeast?
I had a Northern brewer Speckled Heifer kit sitting around and couldn't leave well enough alone, decided to scale it up to 6 gallons and add a bunch of my own ingredients to come up with this beer, which in my opinion, turned out great.
5.5 lbs 2 Row Pale Malt
9 oz Carapils
4 oz Flaked...
I've got a pint jar with 2 cinnamon sticks, 3 sliced vanilla beans, 5 chopped habaneros, and 4 oz cocoa nibs covered in vodka that I will add a week before bottling.
I brewed this up on Sunday:
16 lbs Briess 2-Row
1.5 lbs Chocolate 350L
1 lb Crystal 120L
0.75 lb Flaked Oats
18 oz Turbinado Sugar @ Flameout
16 oz Belgian Candi Syrup 90L @ Flameout
1.3 oz Columbus (17.8%AA) @ 60 min
Mashed at 150F for 90 min. Temp drifted quite a bit, hopefully it's not too...
Bought all my ingredients, and going to brew this soon. Will be using the yeast cake from an ESB I brewed using WLP002.
Any tips or further advice from anyone who has brewed this?
