For the flame out hops. How would 2oz of leaf hops through a hopback work out? Or, should I leave them in the boil?

Yes, except Munich malt must be mashed. Now, don't worry! A mash is basically a steep. Just make sure you do it for 60 minutes at 153. Use all the specialty grains called for, and mash it in 1.5 quarts per pound of grain. A grain bag is fine, or two if you need it so the grains are "loose" in there. Keep it at 153-154 for 60 minutes, and then pour 170 degree water over those grain bags to get to your boil volume. Sub DME for the 2-row. You'll be all set!
I hope you like it as much as we do!
Hey Yoop, Brewed this a couple months ago and just tapped it tonight. Followed your recipe exactly and it was excellent. Best amber ever. Not to heavy on the malt like most ambers and the higher AAU content balanced it perfectly. A new favorite for sure.. Thanks again..
Thanks for the answer on PM Yooper!
Can I just use 100% RO water and add some salts to adjust. Again, this is my 2nd brew & 1st AG so I'm trying to simplify vs. figuring out my tap water chemistry.
If so, what do you recommend I add.
I just brewed this again, also for a wedding. Since the groom is a hophead, I added dryhops of 1 oz each Centennial and Cascade. Very much anticipated!Brewed this one again for a buddies wedding. It was very well received. Thanks again Yoop. Cheers.

Ya, Yooper is worth her weight in hops, for sure!Thanks Yooper for the recipe and all the advice along the way. You ROCK! :rockin:

This being only the 2nd beer I've ever made, I cannot believe how fantastic it turned out. I chose this because I like Red Rocket from Bear Republic but, after this one, I'm not sure I like that anymore!
My LHBS told me they had it all in stock and then subbed Special B and Oat Malt for the Golden Naked Oats but, after tasting, I guess I can forgive them ;-)
I think I will always have this in the rotation. I just might want to play with the hop schedule to smooth out the bitterness just a smidge (just my preference). It's already way smoother than Red Rocket and I love the mouthfeel. I can't wait to brew it with the Golden Naked Oats.
Everyone I have given this to has loved it. I'm waiting on feedback from a neighbor who used to brew for Lost Coast, but I think he's going to love it.
The problem I have with this recipe is that it's making me want to jump up too 11g batches! Thanks Yooper for the recipe and all the advice along the way. You ROCK! :rockin:
I have found this yeast to be less flocculent than others such as US-05. Giving the bottles an extended stay in your fridge helps a lot.The only problem I ran into is that I over-carbed and the yeast will not stay on the bottom of the bottles. I measured my priming sugar by volume rather than weight (I know... Rookie Mistake) but the Denny's Fav 50 gets in the glass even with a perfect pour. Anyone else run into this issue with Denny's Fav?
