I just finished brewing a version of this beer:
7lbs 2-row
1lb flaked corn
0.5lb crystal 40
0.25lb chocolate
0.25lb flaked barley
0.7oz nugget 60min
0.5oz fuggles 5min
I was a little intrigued when I checked my mlt after 24hrs: Nappy smell and a white growth all over the grain.
I did a half batch/fly seat of the pants sparge. The idea was to add 1.5 gallons of boiling mashout water and then fly sparge the remainder. It worked out pretty well.
I must say the wort sample tasted amazing! Just the right amount of sourness... Can't wait to taste this once its finished!
I finally got this on tap! and its definitely going into the rotation, i might pick up on the 12 hour mash tho....
A little too sour? My batches started becoming more sour than I wanted, so my last batch I did a 18hr mash and it's fantastic. Going to brew that recipe with an 18hr mash multiple times and see what happens. Glad you like it. What recipe did you do again?

ODaniel,
Thanks man, I hope the brewing gig works out.
I will probably be brewing my Kentucky Common in a couple weeks. I am going to use a 75/25 grains/adjucts split. If it turns out well, I'll be re-brewing a sour version this summer. I'm going to use a mix of flaked barley and flaked rye for the adjucts; I just finished a brew with corn and want to do something different. Here is the recipe I plan to use.
Batch Size: 5.0 gal
Boil Size: 6.5 gal
Brewhouse Efficiency: 70%
Estimated OG: 1.048
Estimated FG: 1.012
Estimated IBUs: 27
Estimated SRM: 14
7 lb, 2 oz 6-Row (71%)
1 lb, 8 oz Flaked Barley (15%)
1 lb Flaked Rye (10%)
3 oz Crystal 80L (2%)
3 oz Black Malt (2%)
1 oz Northern Brewer [7.00%] @ 60 min.
Safale US-05
I consistently get ~70% eff. from my system, so my grainbill is size to that. Since I'm not doing the sour mash, I don't think this number will rocket up like other people are experiencing. I'll check back after I brew.
Cheers!
Kevin
