Drink it as soon as it's ready. I'm about to kick my keg and the aroma is definitely lessening quite a bit. The bite remains, however.
I always thought they were just a local watering hole with awesome pizza.
Just a local watering hole that makes 8 of the top 100 beers in the world.
Took me a while to get to it, but I tapped my 2nd batch of AHS Pliny tonight. I mashed this one a good bit hotter and man, what a difference. Not too dry like the last one, this one's perfect. Even with a couple months aging, it's still a massive hop bomb too. Superb recipe.
FG was 1.012, mashed at 156. S-05 yeast. Actually I poured the 2nd batch right on top of the 1st batches yeast cake.
S-05 is the dry version of 001 so you should get similar attenuation, assuming a good pitch rate.
Perfect! Yeah I am going to get a 2000ml starter going. I think that should be plenty. Now if there was only a way to sample the real thing to see how close I got.
PM me when it's ready. I've always got at least a dozen Pliny in the beer fridge. Maybe we could work a swap. I'd love me some HopSlam
Gotta have this year round now, it will become a staple in my house.
This is the problem. I loved my clone so much that now that I'm down to 4 bottles my skin is itching cause I know I need to brew it again..... and it ain't cheap.
