I just tired it and it's not bad. What I did to the kit was add 1.5oz of Saaz at the 15 minute mark (as opposed to AHS .75oz) and .5oz at the 5 minute mark. It is closer, but there's still something that needs to be done. I don't know if the flavor is off of the original because the beer is...

THIS IS ****ING AWESOME NEWS!!! Thanks for posting, I checked Alaskan's website and the info is in their "press release" section.

It got put in the keg last night and I'm force carbing it at 30psi right now; I should have an answer in a couple of days.

Well the Mac and Jack went the wrong direction, and that's what's on tap at the moment. I did speak to a friend who use to work at the brewery, and now I have a parts list for that beer. Because of that, the Alaskan is still sitting in the primary, however, I would imagine I'd have an update...

No problem, I'll be working on both Alaskan and Mac until they are both correct.

It is close but not quite there. I had my friend send me down a 12 pack so I could Pepsi challenge the real stuff vs. the AHS stuff. So, I am currently tweaking the AHS version to try to get it closer; my first attempt is adding more Saaz hops for flavor, and this is currently in the bucket...

Arsenic also occurs naturally in dirt. BAN DIRT FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHILDREN!

You had to go all "high class" on us with the Martinelli's didn't you?! The only time I use Martinelli's is to mix with brown sugar as a hose down spray when BBQing, and I don't use that much.

The M-I-L used peanut butter extract (bought at Walmart) for making cakes...maybe that's something that should be looked into? http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=21365&gcatalogLocale=USA

Well this is what I do and it seems to work, but other may have other ideas. Keg your beer, hit it with 10 pounds of Co2, release the pressure a bit, this should kick out the oxygen leaving just Co2. Hook up your Co2 line again and hit it with 30psi, while sloshing the keg around, as you...

Thanks for the input, we'll see how things go this weekend!

Ok, very cool. Thanks guys.

In that case, do you think it would be wise to lower the bittering hops time from 60min down to 45 min to solve that problem?

So I picked up the AHS Alaskan Amber kit from AHS the other day and want to see if what I'm planning is wrong or effed up. So, tell me what you think. I have a SS turkey frier pot that I planned to use building this beer; i.e. we'll be outside and not on the stove top. AHS instructions seem...

I'm going to side with insubordinatek on this one. Bottle's are cheap compared to coming out looking like a smurf! Google image search "Colloidal Silver" to see what I'm talking about ;)

It's used to hold open your sankey (beer tap) for cleaning the lines from the top down. You fill the line (from the faucet) with cleaning solution, let it sit, then put that in the tap to hold the ball open so that you can drain the cleaning solution.
