This may change before I brew next weekend, but here is what I have thus far for a ten gallon batch in Brewsmith. Suggestions are welcome! Note: I noticed that I have it as an All Grain, but I'm using 3# of DME...so it is technically a Partial Mash.

Mine never lasts that long! :D

Just a quick follow up on this recipe. It turned out to be one of the best I've ever brewed. I'll be brewing it again real soon. Thanks for the recipe, Glynn!

How easy are these to clean? I'm especially concerned with how much pellet debris collects over time. With a paint strainer bag, I just toss it out and use a fresh one each brew session. That said, I'd rather use stainless if it isn't too much of a hassle. Thanks for any info!

I haven't gotten to it yet. Recently, I brewed twenty gallons of Snake Dog IPA (another thread) which turned out pretty good. The next brew session is a Celebration Ale and then I plan to try the Founder's recipe and will follow up. I'm not quite sure how I got sidetracked on the Snake Dog...

Roger that. I noticed there were a couple of variations of the recipe on Hopville, but I'm going to run with this one as it is a bit more detailed and you had advice from Flying Dog. I'll follow up after I get this in kegs and have a taste.

Glynn, Did you ever make this recipe? If so, how did it turn out? I'm looking at brewing it next weekend and wondered if any changes were suggested. Thanks, Jeff

Thanks for posting, Glynn! :rockin:

Thank you sir! If you have a .bsmx file and wouldn't mind sharing, that would be awesome...save some typing. ;-)

Yes, but...you have an owl! :D

Would love to hear how Ben's suggestions influenced the recipe. I'm a BIG fan of Snake Dog as well and drink it often. Jeff

Just the opposite for me; Founders is much more complex on the tastebuds than Two Hearted. I'm going to try attempting a clone of this one...after I brew twenty gallons of DFH 60 starting tomorrow morning. :drunk:

I thought I would post this in case others might have similar questions. Collection: If necessary, I dump trub a day before I attach the yeast harvester and I remove the harvester about a day or so before racking. It sort of depends upon what brew is fermenting and the yeast used. Some are...

Perhaps I should have said, "In my opinion it would probably not fill" as I have never had a reason to try a 90 degree bend at the bottom. Using casters and three blocks of plywood provide enough room for the yeast harvester, so that's the route I took. Your mileage may vary. :mug:

The yeast harvester wouldn't collect yeast efficiently using a 90 degree bend. You'd get some yeast, but it would never get full. This thing will pack in some yeast when used as directed. If you don't want to use casters, you could still cut blocks of wood to go under the legs to provide...
