I too am looking to brew this, any updates on the recipe used and the outcome? Thanks!

Don't bother with Keg Cowboy, placed an order on 6/3/12, no order updates and plain refusal to respond to any of my contact emails or phone calls, terrible vendor in my personal experience. Had to initiate a claim with my CC to attempt to get a refund....

I was just looking through the Cyber Monday deals that are coming up on Amazon and at 9pm EST Amazon is going to release the price on a stainless 32qt bayou blast kettle. Its listed at $72 without the discount, who knows how low they might price it though. Heres a link: Amazon.com: Bayou...

I would love a copy of that as well, I'll message you with my email and the all grain version would be excellent!

The carbonation wound up OK but could have been a little higher. I entered this in the Sam Adams Longshot competition last year and scored a 30. The notes from the judges said the carbonation was 'meduim (on the low side for dunkel)' and 'mouthfeel should be more creamy'. I lost major points...

I just brewed a 5 gallon batch of this last night and only after the mash did I realize that I used the wrong Munich. I accidentally ordered 1lb of DARK Munich, SRM 30. According to BeerSmith the difference in color is 2 SRM but I am more concerned about the flavor contribution from the Dark...

Just grabbed one myself at 4pm. Thanks for the info, should come in handy with the 6 lbs of hops that are on their way to me right now!

Im interested in the fridge - sent you a pm with details.

I received my order yesterday, about 1 month earlier than the initial estimate, luckily it was in one piece but only packaged with the carboy box and a larger box surrounding it. I guess for the price some $ in patience has to be warrented

Had to jump on this one as well - I have a delivery estimate of 1/20-1/31 which is totally fine considering the price! I totally agree on the odd packaging from Amazon - just an FYI that you can actually leave 'packaging feedback' to let them know how great...or oddly...they packaged your...

So it looks like 750mL of Malibu is plenty of sugars to meet the style on this beer. If you do the math, Malibu is 42 proof/12 Plato - 25.4 ounces (750mL) is the equivalent of 4.2 ounces of corn sugar. I brewed this one a little over a week ago and am bottling tomorrow with the 750 and 2 cups of...

I just looked through Mosher's Radical Brewing and found the equation for calculating the sugar content of liquors. I don't have the time right now to do the math for determining the Malibu/Appleton quantities to use but here is the example that is laid out for Frangelico: Start by measuring...

I washed and sanitized the container as usual (I make starters for all of my brews, about 35 to date). Even after reading the recent 'Sour Smelling Starter' thread I decided to toss the washed yeast and use the Nottingham. The worst thing I could imagine is 5 gallons of soapy beer and all of...

I made a starter of Wyeast 1272 (Am ale II) from some yeast I had washed about 6 weeks ago and after popping it in the fridge overnight and tasting the beer from the starter, there was a mild soapy taste. The unfortunate thing is I have already started the mash... The starter was with 4 qt...

Just though another update might be nice for those that might want to brew this in the future. We are past the 6 months of bottle conditioning now and the alcohol burn is still slightly noticeable but fades into the background after about half a glass. The aroma has faded a touch but the hops...

Thanks guys for assuring me that everything will work out OK - I would hate to brew up a batch and then throw some junk yeast on it. I should be brewing these this coming weekend and will post the results a few months after that.

I was expecting a package on the 13th with a SmackPack and vial of White Labs yeast that was 'delivered' according to UPS but I never actually received. It turns out one of my neighbors took the box and left it in their bedroom for 8 days b/c they thought it was a shipment of their own brewing...

Indeed this one is UnEarthly right about now! The smell is nice and floral/citrus like and there is a little bit of an herbal element as well. Taste has a hint of orange, clearly a bitter smack after the sip but nothing compared to something like a Ruination, very smooth though. No longer...

The last time I tried one of these out was about 3 weeks ago and it was pretty good but still had a very 'green' flavor profile. I am going to sit on this one for another month or so (probably try again in mid October) and I will post the tasting notes then. That will be about 3 months in the...

Well I was FINALLY able to brew this last night and it was a most excellent time, I don't think I have ever seen so many hops for a single brew. All of the ingredients remained the same but to err on the side of caution I decided to make a half gallon starter with 2 vials of WLP001 ~36 hours...
