I live in South Florida and have had the pleasure of having this beer a few times. Yes very good, very unique. So the rub is they use real peanuts. This does not allow for any longevity of this beer. I think they blow out of this in days. I just kegged a Rice Crispies clone. Another great beer...

Thanks MrNic. seems logical. Not sure if anyone has had the Nitro version. Fantastic beer. Having an Old Chub as I type.

Has anyone had the Nitro Old Chub Scotch Ale. I believe its the same as the Old Chub but on Nitro. THis leads to my question. Do you think if I were to do this clone and simply put it on my Nitro tap I would recreate that same creamy Nitro Old Chub Scotch Ale? Logic says yes, but curious if...

Thank you for your input guys. It is certainly not easy. I'm afraid of the additional loss as I am going to dry hop before kegging. I think I will need to tast the beer. I is an avery maharaja clone. Big beer as it is. Usually med thick mouthfeel. Can make any decision I guess w/out trying it first.

Lets chalk this up to I was not thinking clearly. I usually complete my primary fermentation in a 6 gallon bucket. I wanted to use a carboy, which was a 5 gallon carboy. I filled it with a little bit of head space. This is a big beer IIPA OG 1.090. Fermentation started within 3-4 hours from...

Teromous, I recently put the AHS double chocolate stout in the primary. Was considering either adding vanilla beans or cocoa nibs or both to secondary. I have not brewed this AHS kit before and would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations on this? Thanks

Thanks for response. Bill33525 you could be right on with the maple syrup. It just has suck a distinct tast that is hard to recreate. I have had the 75 and like it as well. The Burton Baton might even be better in my opinion. But all three have that distinct sweetness to them. I also keg t My...

Maybe someone has the answer. But the two times I have tried making this I could not get that malty sweet flavor dfh 90 has. I have been doing it as an extract w steeping specialty grains possibly that's why. Any suggestions or anyone else have this issue. Comes out as a good IIPA but doesn't...

I actually went yesterday. What a great store. Looks like a dive from outside but they have the goods. Besides being able to fill my order I had a great glass of Maharaja on tap. Wasn't cheap as I also bought some beers. Great selection. The guys working there are very helpful and take their...

Sorry just saw this. I was actually planning on swinging by their tomorrow to fill an order. Not a big one. Just one recipe cost is about $60 or a little more. What sort of group buy are they looking for? I have never bought from them in the past. I sent them an email the other day and they had...

Kegged my AHB extract DFH 90 min. Was a bit worried as the fermentation got a bit hot plus lid popped up a bit pouring some krausen out of the sides. Taste was very green day one after force carb. After day 6 in keg it has taken on that DFH taste for sure. Malty still has a nice hoppiness. Packs...

I get this fully. As a great lover of west coast super hoppy IPA's I also had a hard time adjusting to the east coast style IPA which I personally find very pleasing now. There is no question there is a difference. I find the east coast IPA's to be much more on the maltier sweet side which...

Just transfered my DFH 90 min AHB extract clone to secondary after 10 days in Primary. Taste was fantastic, had that malty backbone of the DFH 90.-OG came in @1.090 and FG 1.021 / Pitched two vials of British Ale 005 @ 70 degrees. Without a doubt the most aggressive fermentation I have seen temp...

Can anyone who has brewedthe Stoudts IIPA clone let me know how close they have come to the original? There really is very little if any info out there on this one. Stoudts on the sweeter malty side in my opinion. Let me know your thoughts please? Looking to find this clone.

MTPETDOC thank you for reply. However, I just found some 2.5 gallon cornys at a reasonable price $79. These are new (from china) should be fine SS. Got them @ cornykeg.com

jbrookeiv I am in the same predicament as you are or were. I have limited space that can only fit a 3 0r 2.5 corny. I am in So. Fla. did you happen to find anywhere in south florida that had the 3 or 2.5's? Thank you

Had a tasting last night with the original Pliny the Elder and my AHB Pliny kit. Very close in nose and taste. Color was off a bit. The AHB was certainly darker. Both had the grapefruit, piney smells and tastes. The original maybe a bit more floral. It was bottled 12/20/12. Very fresh and my...

Just received another extract Pliny the elder clone kit from Ausitn Homebrew. The first one I had brewed came out so incredibly good I cannot be without it. I have three bottles of Pliney arriving at my house this Monday and will do a side by side tasting at some point next week. I highly...

I am a bit on the fence on this kit. Although it has many of the characteristics of the tripel Karmeliet I have a bit of an alcohol taste to this batch. The only thing I can think of is my pitching temp. I ended up pitching my yeast at 85 degrees. I am finding as they are aging it is melding and...

I just received the AHB Pliny The Elder clone. See receipe below. I am brewing as I type. There is a shortage of Simcoe and centennial. They were able to help me out and send the Simcoe and Centinnial in Leaf form. The columbus in pellet. This is an extract kit, looks like the Vinnie recipe...
