I used Bell's house strain and 1056 in a side by side. Bell's yeast highlighted the hops and had a fruity character too it. I liked it much better than the chico.

Just finished brewing a batch of this beer and it's freaking tasty. However, I was thinking that I didn't want five gallons of the same beer so.... I bottled 2.5 gallons as is 1.5 gallons with cold brewed coffee. 1 gallon racked onto a vodka tincture of one vanilla bean and four ounces of...

Indeed! This is a great beer! Already planning this for the spring.

Seven weeks from grain to glass.

Did the same and it made for a very good beer.

My I understanding is notty will add fruit esters at higher temps and will dry it out. Don't think it will be as malty. Sorry for so many replies! My phone kept erroring!!

I just brewed this one with 04 and thought it gave it more of a malty and nut flavor I was looking for. Will report back once my bottles are all carbed up.

I just brewed this one using 04. Gave it a nice malty character and (to me) added a little more nut flavor. Will report back once bottles are carbed up!!!

Right on! The OG was 1.068. I realize I have not provided a current gravity reading as I have not taken one yet. I also know that I may be speculating that there may be a problem. Too much thinking happens when you have an hour commute.

Lol. Yep. Its a typo.

See screenshot for grain bill. I'm using US-04 and fermenting at 60f. My LHBS was out of american ale yeasts, so I had little choice on my yeast selection. Thanks for your help! Its a noticeable difference from other times I've used this yeast.

Good idea. I'm fermenting US-04 at 60f, so I have a little latitude in temp right now.

It just dawned on me two weeks into fermentation. I can definitely tell that it's under attenuating (no air lock activity, smaller krausen and trub than normal). Any fixes to help finish fermentation?

How does that fresh orange zest taste, strangebrew?

I think it's worth a try! Anyone use fresh orange zest for this recipe? If so, how much and what kind of oranges?

Just opened my first bottle and what a great beer! I only tried one ounce of the orange peel, but will use two for the next batch for sure! Thanks for sharing OP!

Great idea for a test!

What is the volume of water used?

I pitched a single packet of Mangrove Jack's M07 on a 1.075 beer. The only instructions on the packet was to sprinkle on the wort, but it instructions on their web site states that you should pitch two packs for beers over 1.050, plus hydrate and stir for 15 minutes. The beer has only been...

Check out Amazon. I picked mine up for $20 with free shipping (with my prime account).
