Bump instead of making a new thread. I would love to brew this beer all grain.

You take a boy golden monkey and a girl golden monkey, and you put them in a room together with a water bed. Candles, soft music, disco ball, and a white jump suit.....
 
Old but wondering if anyone has brew it. Also when do I add the sugar? On boil or flame out?

I have no experience with a GM clone, but just came across the page discussing in Brew Like a Monk last night. It doesn't give the exact recipe, but says the ingredients are: German Pilsner, Sucrose, Coriander, Tettnang, Saaz, and a proprietary yeast strain acquired from Belgium. Primary is 5-6 days at 68-70, then temp is slowly lowered to 30 for 2-5 weeks. OG =1.085, IBU = 28-30.
 
Has anyone brewed this? How did it turn out?

My Daughter and Son in law buy a keg once a year. I brewed this version and they agree that it's delicious and is a very good clone, perhaps better than the original.

I'm hoping I didn't push mine too far and it goes dry... I added 1.5 pound sugar and <1 pound honey. OG was 1.10. Still in the basement after 2 weeks, be pulling it around 5 and checking.

Agreeing with the brew like a monk post, only german pilsner in the recipe there. Also whole rest of the book says to avoid making things too complicated like the recipe posted. Soon as my brew pot up and running again, hoping to take a shot at this.
Anyone know if there is a yeast..."close"? Says bottle conditioned in the book, but i got NO dregs in my bottle.

I used White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale and fermenting it STUNK... went to 1.01 after 4 weeks and still stunk, in the keg now for 4 weeks and still stinks. Like wet dog, tastes fine though. The smell is going away slightly but I still get a whiff of it when sampling and first pull.
 
Out of curiosity I just sniffed the yeast I saved from this batch and it smells fine? Odd.
 
brewed this Saturday biab.. Made a 1.5 L starter (3 steps) with wlp550... looked like cottage cheese chunks floating in water. Didnt notice the smell, but I think it had the same appearance the last time I used it last year.
