40.2% 8.25 lbs. Wheat Malt
9.8% 2.00 lbs. Flaked Oats

I'll be brewing this again for sure.
Yes, I know tsp means tea spoon, but the amounts seems to make sense if he meant table spoon instead. Anyway, feel free Wayne to chime in to correct us here.
By the way, will be brewing #9 this weekend with Wyeast 1010, American Wheat.

nilo, which blue moon clone that you have made do you like best? I see a lot of people making you 8 and 6. I am trying to decide whether to go with your 6/8 or waynes 2. This thread is awesome btw. I have learned a lot.
Colorado68 said:Brewed Nilos #8... wow!
Will be brewing this as a mainstay. Awesome is the response I get from everyone.
Thanks Nilo!
Note.. used oats in the boil instead of starch
I thought oats had to be mashed?
As I continually state, try the recipe "stock" the first time you make it. For the second time you can change things up to suit your taste. You currently have no idea what the standard recipe will taste like when made on your system.
Brew it as written and then tweak after you have some data on what your system does.
Nilo has made about 9 variations on this theme and I applaud him for his research. He has made the basic recipe and has been fine tuning it for HIS system ever since. Everybody's system is different. What works for Nilo does not work for me. So try the standard recipe, gather some data points and then, slowly, tweak the recipe to your tastes.
My partial mash, and extract before that, batches were all too dark, as you would expect. I don't have any photos of my previous all grain batch but I did just bottle another one today so I'll try to remember to report back with photos in a few weeks. My previous batch, from what I remember, may not have been absolutely indistinguishable in a side-by-side, but it was so close that there's no way I would be able to tell if someone handed it for me right after I finished a commercial version (kind of the 'Can You Brew It' standard for calling something cloned).
From your photos, it seems you totally have the color dialed in. Very impressive. I don't taste any crystal in BM. Does the 1.0 lb of C10 come through in yours?
Am planning my brew day for tomorrow and I went to the blue moon website to find additional info to combine with Wayne's recipe suggestions from the original brewery.
Here's from the blue moon website:
Malts: Pale, White Wheat, Oats
Hops: Blend of Imported and Domestic
Our Twist: Valencia Orange Peel , Coriander
IBUs: 9
Original Gravity: 13º Plato
ABV: 5.4%
Simple take the 50%, 40%, 10% ratios Wayne posted and adjust to hit the original gravity and ABV for your system. Enjoy!
13 Plato ?? As an OG that is amazingly low ..that's 1.030
your avatar, are you floating on the dead sea?
13 plato=1.053
#10
Mashed for 75min, not planned
Used 6.5lb of wheat and only 3lb of row, not planned. Run out of 2 row
#11
Used double orange peels, so full 3oz
Color wise, very similar, hard to pick one. Taste wise, the double orange tasted much closer to the clone for me.
Why did you dump batches #10 & #11?
What do you mean the double oragne tasted much closer to the clone, you mean to the original Blue Moon?
Is #8 still the most similiar/best in your opinion.
