  Yeast calcs were done via Mr Malty :mug:It has been noted that the yeast is underpitched by
  about 20% as to stress the yeast a little for more ester production. What is the base pitching

  Yeah we have brewed this a ton of times now...and honestly I have no idea why our initial
  recipe had such a piss poor BHE...We have it dialed in to hit a 70OG on the same grain bill

  There was no perceptible difference in either. The 3711 along with Rye just gives it that
  perfect smooth, silky-ness...Thanks.Did you enjoy the taste/feel of the brew more with your
  initial 1.058/1.00...

  Yeah the initial recipe we posted was with a somewhat poor BHE - I would have to check my
  notes. We have it dialed in to consistently hit 1.070 now with the same grain bill. There is
  absolutely no not...

  Same as my last reply. Let us know how it turns out!I'm brewing this in the weekend, but I will
  be using WLP670 (American Farmhouse Blend). Should be good I reckon!

  Just so you know, you will have a totally different beer! Albeit, most likely just as tasty.Our
  recipe revolves around the 3711, that is the magic :)Brewed this yesterday. Everything went

  Absolutely :mug:Would you keep the same percentages of grain when brewing a 5.5 gallon batch?

  You could always run the numbers and see how much that would up your OG.We add the sugar during
  the boil as we feel it gives it a slightly extra layer of flavor, or probably better to say
  complexity.J...

  You will be absolutely fine. We have adjusted our recipe/dialed in our BHE to a consistent 70OG
  with this beer now (at 8.6% ABV :) ) and it is just as fabulous.So I just brewed this up and
  all went we...
