Thanks for the feedback Asheville Thumper, glad you enjoyed the recipe! By all means, add some dry hops. I've used this recipe as a base for a lot of different variations of hops, dry hops, etc. It's all part of the fun of homebrewing. It's been a while since I've brewed the actual clone...

That's fantastic, Klink. Glad everyone enjoyed it. Asheville, please post back when you crack your first bottle. Would love to hear your feedback!

danteslament - 11 pounds 2-row on this recipe. All-grain, 5 gallon batch.

ncsujrock - I don't know how a Kolsch yeast would do on this recipe. I've never used Kolsch on a Pale or IPA. I mean technically it will work/ferment. Just not sure how the yeast flavors would affect the beer. But hey, that's why we homebrew...experiment! Let me know how it turns out!

I've never made this recipe with British grains but I think I'm going to try it with Maris Otter next time. You'll probably get a little more body/color using British malts. Let me know how it turns out if you do it!

That's awesome! I've never bottle or keg conditioned this beer, always force carbed in the keg. Glad it turned out well. Cheers!

Nice! I've never used WY1217. Let me know how it turns out!

I do make yeast starters when using liquid yeast. But I've also been known to substitute dry US-05 yeast on this recipe with good results. I rehydrate the dry yeast but don't make a starter when I do it that way. US-05 is the same yeast strain as California 001 so it is very similar.

Wow, dr_q that is awesome! I'm glad you guys enjoy the recipe. Please share any experiences that were successful when changing the yeast, hops, malt. I always love trying out new variations as well.

When I first made this I did primary for a little over a week and went to secondary for about two weeks. I've since stopped using secondary for most of my batches. I usually just do a primary for about three weeks (or more, depending on when kegs are available) and dry hop the last 10 days or so...

I'll check out that podcast. That's pretty cool. I'll have to try this with British malts one time and see how it turn out. Thanks for sharing. Col Klink. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out!

Awesome, HoppingC. Please let me know how it turns out. Feedback is appreciated!

Thanks, Jojo. That's great info. Will have to try that on one of my next batches.

Awesome! Thanks again for the feedback. Always trying to improve my skills and recipes.

Zookeeps, did you brew it or buy it? If you brewed it, thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it! If you bought it, give the recipe a try and let me know what you think.

Hey Brews, that is fantastic! Glad to hear it turned out well. I thought it was spot on last time I made it too. I think this is going to be my next batch. It's been too long since I've made it.

I think if you replace the 2-Row with 6lbs 8oz of light dried malt extract and steep the specialty grains it'll get you pretty close.

Update: Just saw a Hoppyum bottle last night. Looks like they have increased to 78IBU now. So definitely some sort of recipe change has happened...again

I do believe they've changed the recipe a couple of times since I created this originally. When I crafted the recipe there were actually two different versions of bottles floating around. One with 60-something IBU and one with 70 IBU. I went with the 70 IBU bottle to make my recipe. Aside...

Kind of answering my own question. Via HBT user forstmeister, found an adapter for the Krome faucets here: http://www.homebrewing.org/Jug-growler-filler_p_1682.html Ordered one today. You can follow this Krome faucet specific thread here...
