Yeah I used my 6.5 gal Carboy and put a blowoff tube to begin with. I lost maybe a liter worth of stuff, but the noises coming from it were awesome. Sounded like a M60 machine gun on full auto.

Judgement Day.
Overall, I am not sure what I would change. Probably mash lower to get a bit drier for my personal preference. I think the grain and hops are close. Maybe scale back the sauvin a little and up the Jade a bit.

I have just seen pellets, but I just brewed an IPA with citra and Nelson, and then will be dry hopping with Nelson. I'll let you know.
Brew Brothers.biz The are outside of Portland, OR.
drawdy10 said:So I wonder what we are at for total brews with this recipe? Skeezer you have started quite the frenzy. I think at yeast 5 people have done it that have responded on here.
SaevaVeritas said:Also did you mash out on this?
skeezerpleezer said:I counted 15 that replied to brewing this or some variation of it, and everyone seems to have positive feedback, which is great. I am glad everyone likes it. I know I am gonna brew it again soon. This is only my 2nd attempt at cloning something from scratch, so to be this close on the first try really surprised me (1st was 3 Floyds Zombie Dust, which is damn near spot on after several attempts).
On another note, If I remember right, the 2011 new Zealand hops were harvested around late march-early April, so those having trouble finding them should be in luck soon.
Woz, depending on the presets you put in for your system you will get different numbers, and this is a good thing that way you know how you have to adjust recipes to get your intended beer. What I do when building recipes in beersmith 2 is pick your equipment profile, set the boil time and efficiency and everything then just put in 1 lb of each grain and click the adj pectentages button and match your clone then click the adjust gravity button and crank that up to your intended OG. For this recipe I needed like 3.5 extra lbs of pale malt and a little more of everything else to get to that OG on my system. If you are going to brew this I would target 6 gallons into the fermenter because that is what I did and I ended up with only 5 gallons in the bottling bucket after dry hop and grub loss. To ferment 6 gallons just use two carboys and fill them each with half the wort. Also, no need for secondary, I just dry hopped in the primary after one week. Hope this helps!
Woz said:Skeezer, if it is a 90 minute boil, do you hold the first hop addition and boil for 60 or add it at the start?
Woz said:So, I've rebuilt my recipe using drawdy10's tip and matched the OG and IBUs, but my color is still coming in light at 46 SRM. What gives?
