This beer is unavailable in Australia but what the hell I thought I would have a go because the recipe looked good. The result was fantastic. A deep amber coloured ale with heaps of hoppiness and underlying malt flavours finishing quite bitter. The hops and the colour are selling points for this.

I had to change a couple of things due to unavailability and my attenuation was a bit low. None the less, happy with the result and I will be doing a repeat of this beer soon.

Bump.

I loaded this recipe into BS and it's telling me I need to have a 3L starter or three packs of yeast. Also, since I was planning to brew this Sunday, I am cutting it close with the starter since my LHBS won't get the 007 yeast until Thursday afternoon.

Should I just go ahead with using Safale-04 (since I have heard they are the same strain?) dry yeast--AND will one packet do the trick?

Thanks and am looking forward to this weekend!

Brewed this a few months ago. Got all the ingredients at LHBS, and it was my first attempt at an all grain. I messed up when adding water, and only did a 5 gallon batch instead of 6. I live down the road from Ballast Point and was able to compare theirs to mine, and it was extremely close. Color was spot on, and if I hadn't cut short the water it would probably have been spot on. By far one of my favorite beers, and I will definitely brew this one again.
