This may change before I brew next weekend, but here is what I have thus far for a ten gallon batch in Brewsmith. Suggestions are welcome! Note: I noticed that I have it as an All Grain, but I'm using 3# of DME...so it is technically a Partial Mash.

Mine never lasts that long! :D

Just a quick follow up on this recipe. It turned out to be one of the best I've ever brewed. I'll be brewing it again real soon. Thanks for the recipe, Glynn!

How easy are these to clean? I'm especially concerned with how much pellet debris collects over time. With a paint strainer bag, I just toss it out and use a fresh one each brew session. That said, I'd rather use stainless if it isn't too much of a hassle. Thanks for any info!

I haven't gotten to it yet. Recently, I brewed twenty gallons of Snake Dog IPA (another thread) which turned out pretty good. The next brew session is a Celebration Ale and then I plan to try the Founder's recipe and will follow up. I'm not quite sure how I got sidetracked on the Snake Dog...

Roger that. I noticed there were a couple of variations of the recipe on Hopville, but I'm going to run with this one as it is a bit more detailed and you had advice from Flying Dog. I'll follow up after I get this in kegs and have a taste.

Glynn, Did you ever make this recipe? If so, how did it turn out? I'm looking at brewing it next weekend and wondered if any changes were suggested. Thanks, Jeff

Thanks for posting, Glynn! :rockin:

Thank you sir! If you have a .bsmx file and wouldn't mind sharing, that would be awesome...save some typing. ;-)

Yes, but...you have an owl! :D

Would love to hear how Ben's suggestions influenced the recipe. I'm a BIG fan of Snake Dog as well and drink it often. Jeff

Just the opposite for me; Founders is much more complex on the tastebuds than Two Hearted. I'm going to try attempting a clone of this one...after I brew twenty gallons of DFH 60 starting tomorrow morning. :drunk:

I thought I would post this in case others might have similar questions. Collection: If necessary, I dump trub a day before I attach the yeast harvester and I remove the harvester about a day or so before racking. It sort of depends upon what brew is fermenting and the yeast used. Some are...

Perhaps I should have said, "In my opinion it would probably not fill" as I have never had a reason to try a 90 degree bend at the bottom. Using casters and three blocks of plywood provide enough room for the yeast harvester, so that's the route I took. Your mileage may vary. :mug:

The yeast harvester wouldn't collect yeast efficiently using a 90 degree bend. You'd get some yeast, but it would never get full. This thing will pack in some yeast when used as directed. If you don't want to use casters, you could still cut blocks of wood to go under the legs to provide...

Yes, that's correct; the height of the conical is just enough for a gravity feed into kegs...bonus! I'll follow up on your PM later today...in the office now.

I'm in Wake Forest. I saw you were in Asheville some time ago; unfortunately, I don't make it out that far too often. I wish it weren't as far...awesome area! :D

Forgot to address flow rate. I really don't know! LOL I regulate flow until I'm about 72-76F going into the fermenter. Realizing there are drastic affects to aroma hops if left at a high temp in the kettle for too long, I don't sweat it knowing I have a freezer to efficiently lower my...

I'm a very happy camper with the MoreBeer conical. I got it at a 10% discount (if memory serves) because I was a first time customer. I would not buy the CO2 adapter, the leg extensions or the blow off kit if I had it to do over as they are unnecessary for my application. Anyone interested in...

I've cut off the top portion of a racking cane and connect it to tubing for active fermentations. After the blow off resides, I put on the normal air lock. The blow off kit from MoreBeer is overkill in my opinion; if you have blow off that requires a one inch ID hose.... lol For temperture...
