It's so cool to see that this thread goes back 8 years! With only 4 or so years of brewing it makes me realize how much of a newb I still am. I came to almost this same recipe via a different route and use WLP029 as I've seen other posters do as well. Cheers to biermuncher! It's really a great beer.

any thoughts on swapping out the base malt with vienna?

My first few AG batches were done with a Zapap lauter tun (cost is the cost of a bucket, look it up) and no other extra equipment. Among those was the best beer I've ever made. The only reason I switched to an igloo mash tun is because I thought it would be easier to maintain mash temps than...

I've made the FBS twice and both have been among the best beer I've ever brewed. Also the Centennial Blonde was amazing. THis is a great site.

Lol profitable cheers

@Beer-lord I do the same. When making water adjustments it often takes a long time for the salts to dissolve, even with vigorous stirring.

I refuse to wait in line for beer.

All this talk of popcorn and no mention of diacetyl??!?!!? harrumph

I hit 1.084 as well. This time through I left out the coffee and cocoa nibs although I may add the cold brew coffee and nibs at secondary. Last time through this beer came out so damned good I've decided to make it once a year. Cheers!

5 gal apfelwein made with S-04, eager to see how that affects the flavor. 5 gal FBS clone. Last batch of this was my best brew ever. So both recipes came from HBT!

10 gallons Chinook/Saaz IPA.

Thanks for the advice can't wait til next brew day!

2 bottling buckets. I'm going to start fermenting in these and retire the glass carboys. I got scerd after hearing all those horror stories.

Curious how this turned out. I'm planning an IPA with basically the same hop combo in March. Cheers!

Thanks for this. My first several all grain batches were lautered using a zapap tun. Some of the best beer I've made yet.

10 gallons of Kolsch lagering in secondary for going on 4 weeks. Think I'll bottle on March 1st. Then I'll make a beer that I can turn around a bit more quickly, I'm sick of waiting.

I've sprung leaks on my immersion chiller several times so I'm committed to doing a thorough check and tighten all those connections during the boil. Also I brewed outdoors last December while it was 18F outside. I had made sure to keep my garden hose detached inside my garage earlier in the...

10 gallons of Kolsch, going to transfer to 2ndary this weekend for 6-8 weeks lager.

5 gal Edwort's apfelwein.

10 gallons Kolsch-inspired beer : vienna malt + some munich, tettnang for bittering and saphir at the end. Wyeast 1007 fermented at 57-58 for a week now slowly raising to about 63 and contemplating d-rest prior to a couple week long cold crash.
