any suggestions on boosting the IBUs of this bad boy to about 70+ ?

This was one of the best porters I have ever put my lips on ! I upped the coffee content a little in mine~ and enjoyed it ten fold ! It was very strong at 1st with the coffee flavor... but with any ale... it got better by the day ! I just had one the other night! the coffee flavor is now...

Roger, it is Delicious ! & Richlong , it really depends on how much carbonation you desire in your brew. personally for a robust porter like this i shoot for low\medium carbonation~ I added 5/8 cups honey into a half cup of boiling water and desolved it by stirring rapidly~ I then dumped...

I am in for some brew comp. ~ Ill def. attempt a batch and send out 2 bottles ~ NOW THAT I AM THINKING ABOUT IT!! I would probably give up one of these usless fingers or toes for a white rajah and a lamb burger from the brew kettle ... RIGHT NOW~ goodness the things i would do for that...

well, this is why I was excited to get this up on the forums ~ I need advice like this!!! I will not boil and just heat the jugs of honey much like I heat my malt cans ~ I will also discard the Irish Moss ~ Think I will stick with the gypsum ~ its a small amount anyway... and I need to get...

I typically Irish moss (for clarity) on everything ~ The Gypsum was just something incorporated via reading PAPAZIAN~ in his mead section... he used it in every batch! figured it had something to do with the honey not having the right "stuff" to do what it needs to do~ as for the boil ~ it...

well if I would have went back and looked ... You did post your FG ~ would mine be a little high (like it is) because I took reading after adding 4 1/2oz corn sugar :cross: ehh regardless, thanks for all your help~ I will let you know how it is after conditioning is over !

Yesterday: Day 20 I was thrilled to finally get this into the bottle~ The aroma was tantalizing and quite chocolatey. I ended up with a little over 2 cases of bottled beer ~ *(side story ~ was using my grandfathers circa 1940's bottle capper and pinched my ring finger quite severely)...

Just a small update ~ :) this thing is ROARING in the primary!!!! I have never seen any bubble activity from start till now (strange) However, the yeast is just swirling around in there like maniacs !!! Also has a heady amount of krauzen, which is seemingly falling back now! I am almost...

I am drooling in suspense! Like many others ~ The White Rajah has been a hands down favorite since it touched my picky little lips! I love the guessing game (as clones should be) and I will also attempt to brew up the closest clone to the best beer ever! (once all these great guesses...
