If I used the 04 again and then after 3/4 days in the fermenter add a few grams more of the 04. would that be a reasonable way to get the beer down to where I want it?
What temp would you say to mash with the 1968
Also the WLP 02

I was eager to her this in... I followed the recipe to the letter.. Only think I did differently was the hops.. I put Golding at 45 minutes and fuggle at 20. I had a bit to much water so I did a 90 minute boil... I know what my pot looks like with 2.5 gals .. So I boiled longer.. This batch came out spot on.. No top up water needed. I wonder what the effect of the extra boil time will be? I am set up for 2.5 gal batch.You could use Amber, Brown, Victory, Biscuit, Special Roast, Pale Chocolate - amongst others - to get you a nutty character (in moderate amounts 0.25-0.5 lb) and moderate roast character (in moderate-heavy amounts 0.75 lb). Victory and Biscuit might not get you to the "roasted" end of the spectrum. If I had to pick from those choices to meld well with this beer I would probably go Pale Chocolate at about 4-6 oz range; leaving the rest of the recipe the same (although, a yeast change-up might be nice).
I plan on brewing this soon. What do you guys think how's this beer going to be after 6 months in the bottles?
Hi all,
I'm planning to brew this recipe seeing that it has received so many fantastic review and honestly, it will be my first all grain. I'll be doing a 5L batch instead of 23L and do you think the conversion seems about right?
I thought I'd give an update on mine, despite it being different, as it evolved from your recipe and you might actually want to know!I was going to do this recipe, but couldn't help tinkering with it! Basically, I upped the Maris Otter, added some Munich, and changed the hops to East Kent Goldings.....
What kind of FG is everyone getting and with what yeast?
First time I used US-05 and got 1.011 and tasted clean, but a little too clean for this style, IMO. Still a really great beer though.
I just brewed again with S-04 and finished at 1.018 (mashing at 156 was probably too high). I dont have my notes, but I think OG was 1.040 using a little bit more MO. I have not tasted it bottled conditioned yet, but hydro sample was sweet, hoping after a few weeks age and some CO2 it will blossom nicely.
Just curious where everyone else is at with this recipe.
BTW, props to Orfy on this recipe, I will being doing your Hobgoblin clone next week.
I kegged a variation of this on Wednesday - subbed Willamette hops. I mashed even higher at 158 and fermented with an expired package of Nottingham. OG was 1.034
