Threw this together yesterday as my first stout. Currently bubbling away. I'll try to tell you how she ends up!

Yeahhh buddddy!

I did crunch the numbers into the program, I've used it for a few brews already. I don't wish to fill this thread with an off-topic so we probably shouldn't carry on with finding an answer here, but take a look for yourself. EDIT: Nevermind, switched around some of my equipment profile settings...

When I input the recipe into Beersmith it calculated the total IBU around 40, with the ounce of Magnum at 14.4% for 60min only doing 33.5 IBU (quite far off from your 54.9 IBU calculation). Any idea why this is so? EDIT: I did plug it into an online IBU calculator and got what you calculated...

Are there any verdicts on this clone?

21802.5 + 4 = 21806.5

Hacker-Pschorr's beers are pretty much all swing tops.. if you plan on making the trip to Munich any time soon (I'm fairly certain the imports are not swing tops). I found them so freaking convenient when I was there.

I think you should be fine. I dont think hops really start doing their thing (that will cause too much of a noticeable difference) until the rolling boil anyways.

What Petey said... If you must, I wouldn't recommend capping them.

Used this recipe for my first all-grain last night. I believe it went pretty well considering I overshot my pre-boil & post-boil volume, 8 gallons and 6 gallons. But I did measure an OG of 1.058, which, if Beersmith is correct, is 75% efficiency I believe? The ABV's will be a little on the low...

I think you need a subscription to view the page. Sounded cool from the title though!

I'd do it if I were back up in Troy and not in Cinci, but four would definitely be overkill for me.

Is there a difference between Pectolase and Pectic Enzyme?

Phew! Good news. Thanks guys

The Flash may have exaggerated the yellow, so here is another pic.
