My shot at a Utopias clone

Sitting at 1.056, I racked it yesterday off of about 1" of lees in the secondary. I'll probably start the blending beer sometime in September (or later) once it cools off outside.

Any news?

update?

I'd love to know how this is going. So inspiring. We're one year out.

I've still been contemplating brewing another batch of this as a blending batch at around 1.160 OG as mentioned in a previous post; the first batch is still undrinkable, even at 21% ABV it still tastes like bitter sugar water. Paul was also right about it being over-hopped so the second blending batch will be hopped very lightly. At least I learned from the first batch my process works flawlessly to produce a 21% beer; I similarly had no problems with my DFH 120 clone getting to 18% using KV-1116 as the secondary yeast following a similar feeding method.
