I have had this on gas since last week, drew the first glass a few minutes ago. This is so damn close to the original I don't think I could tell the difference. Great beer. I dry hopped 7 days in a 5 gal paint strainer bag.

Giving this a shot today with Denny's Favorite yeast. I think I saw a couple people say it comes out good with that one as well.

Did this two weeks ago and it is still rocking pretty good. Guess it will be spending some extra time in primary.

I have always used S-04, I did a small batch in April with Nottingham. This was a weird mystery blend of sweet cider and I actually like the Notty better than the S-04. Pretty potent and still rather sweet. I did cold crash one month after pitching.

Grand Rapids, MI here. One mill that I bought at last year said probably no bulk sales. They brew cider commercially so I can understand they probably cant get enough to fill their brewery orders let alone selling bulk to the public. Another mill I bought at last year said they will be selling...

Approx 4 pounds pale per can of LME and 1.5 pounds per pound of DME. Should get you close enough.

Bells recommends using yeast from Amber Ale or Best Brown Ale to clone Hopslam as they share the same yeast.. They say the yeast in the bottle is the fermentation yeast but the high ABV in Hopslam probably makes it a poor choice for culturing. They specifically mention Winter White Ale as one...

So I lost most of my Tettnanger due to a boilover right when I got to a full boil. So I am thinking about a dryhop to make up for the loss of the Tett. Does it really matter since the Tettnanger is a First Wort hop? Or should I dry-hop?

Im gonna do this, but I think I will have to scale it back a little bit to fit in a 10Gal MLT. Or are there procedures to get around that to still get a 5.5gal batch? nevermind, at 1qt/lb I can do it.

Cooked this up today. I need to figure out an all-grain version, this was a pricey brew!

I am stuck there as well. Also, the adjuncts section is empty.

Racked to secondary and put in AE last night. Definitely not getting any action so far. Yeast should still be pretty good. I will give it time and see what happens.

I think I messed up. I dont think I should have dry hopped in primary. I pitched the yeast, shook, and added the whole leaf hops. Am I going to get anything useful out of this? Fermentation was really only going good for about 36 hours and now it has pretty much stopped.

Bought hopslam 6-er for around $20. Good purchase. Bought Founders KBS for I think $23 for a 4-pack. Dont really think that was worth it. Does not live up to the hype.

Ive been studying this beer and I get a HINT of lactose in it. Anyone else get this?

Just did this for my first all-grain batch. 10 gal orange cooler with stainless false bottom. This rig did great and I think this will turn out great. Weather has been all over the place lately so I will probably have to be shuttling this upstairs and down to keep the temp constant.

anyone else feel that this year's Oberon is not as good as past years?
