Yeah it does. I'm salivating at the prospect of having 5 gallons of this beer.

There has been a recall on all Old Guardian kits from every HB store the world over. Now ship it to me so that I may turn it into Pee, Sweat and Vomit.
Also looking forward to the recipe location/posting of whats in it.

It's the Can You Brew It clone recipe, except I subbed Magnum for Warrior for the bittering hops (since I had 'em in the freezer).
I put it in Brew Builder at BMW:

Edit: Not in the Brew Builder recipe, but I also used 1.2 tsp gypsum at 15 min before flameout, 1.2 tsp Irish moss 15 min before flameout, and 1.2 tsp yeast nutrient 10 min before flameout.

Just moved this beer off the dry hops. Looks great, tastes good but still needs to mature a bit. I think I'm going to bottle it all rather than keg it, and give it a few more months.
Looking very dark in the carboy
And a lot lighter in the glass

Update: Won 2nd place in American Strong Ale in the state fair with this, as well as best in show in another local homebrew competition.
It's aging nicely... another 5 or 6 months and I think it'll be at its prime.

Turns out it was at its prime at about 6 months. Hops started to drop off after that. I still have a few bombers of it. Still very good, but was best when the hops were more up front.
I just kegged the second batch. Accidentally dry hopped with Chinook instead of Centennial, and it's very nice. We'll see which was better, when it gets 6 months on it.

Did this recipe originally call for Maris Otter or was it 2-row?
