I'm thinking about trying this recipe this weekend. I prefer to use LME instead of DME, how should I alter the recipe to reflect that change?
I have not done this one for awhile. I think it's time to establish this a house main stay.
Glad to hear your beer is coming along well.
A few days ago I kegged the extract version that I brewed, and force carbonated it. I took a taste last night. It is fantastic!
A quick question for Schlenkerla, or anyone else who may know: is there a major difference between the extract and AG version?
They are pretty close. I have always played with hops so its never 100% the same. Not mention I use some homegrown hops for this most of time.
Wanted to brew this next and I have only light Munich on hand. Any issue with that? I was thinking off lowering the c40 a bit and using some darker crystal to correct for color. I also have some aromatic malt and wondered if that would help give it some good malty aroma/flavor
Here's what I'm thinking for a recipe. Anyone tell me if anything looks out of place?
7 lbs 2 row
2 lbs Light Munich
1 lb crystal 40
0.75 lbs crystal 60
0.5 lbs carapils
0.25 lbs aromatic malt
Mash at 156
1.25 oz cascade at 60
1.00 oz cascade at 10
1.00 oz cascade at flameout
Yeast: wyeast 1056 with 1L starter (on a stir plate)
Sound good?
Also, I think I'm going to add 1 oz of chocolate malt for color
I saw this the other day, I want to give you an answer but I've been drinking.... ..... Let me think about it and back to you. OK?

With that kind of delay drinking it, you should be rather pleased when you pull your first sample.
Btw I tapped this about 2 weeks ago and it's nearly gone. Very delicious!
Brewed the extract version of this recipe last weekend, I'm excited to see how it turns out! I brew a lot of hard cider but this is the first beer that I've brewed in quite a while.
Have you heard of people getting high initial SGs with this recipe? I followed the recipe as written, but ended up with an initial SG of 1.080. From what I've read it seems like most people start in the 1.055 - 1.060 range. Also, does it make much of a difference whether you dry-hop with pellet or whole hops? The brew store where I bought my hops only had pellet hops, so this is what I'm using. I'm thinking that I may have to rack it to secondary to clear some of the pellet mush thats developed. It's looking like I may be end up with a very strong, slightly cloudy brew. Thanks for the recipe!
The higher gravity can be due to mash efficiency. Factors like quality of grind, temperature, water-grist ratio, water pH, and sparging practices.
Take no offense, the amount you are off seems to be a mistake. My recipe has an assumed 75% efficiency. Were you really much more efficient? If it's a mistake could it be a difference of actual vs planned grain bill weight, or gravity measurement. Did you comp for the temp during the gravity check.
What do you think?
I think he brewed the extract version. In that case, my guess is poor mix of wort and top off water.
Thanks for the responses. And yes, I did brew the extract version. A bad mix of wort/water was what I would have thought too, except that I started the boil with the recommended volume, added the recommended top-off water volume, and had the final volume at what I was looking for. Who knows. I'll post how it turns out though, it smells great so far.
Not sure. How does the ibu turn out with that short of a hop schedule?
My guess is its short of the ibu target.
Run the calculation on some brewing software and find out for yourself.
You can use this if you don't have software.

With late extract additions, my recipe calculator says the bitterness will be a hair under 34 IBUs.
