Hopslam clone

Ok so bells has everyone by the balls with their seasonal beers that make you want them all them. Anyone attempted making a clone of this bad boy and/or with success? I imagine no matter how you do it will be expensive but sure less expensive then $25 a 6 pack!

If you look around people have attempted recipes, contacted Bells via email, and then tweaked them off of some pretty helpful advice from the brewery. Check one of those out

Here's an extract kit that someone posted on another thread: http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_43_246&products_id=11997

Has anyone ever had a decently successful one?

olz431 · Feb 16, 2013

Drinking on right now.

SCBrewster · Feb 16, 2013

Yeah? Got a recipe you'd like to share?

olz431 · Feb 16, 2013

I wish, I'm looking for one myself. It is truly a fantastic beer.

There is a good thread already on here about it. My question is how long would something like this take to bottle condition? I have a tripel that needs another 6 months in the bottle and I absolutely couldn't do that again right now

i'd go 30-40 days from brew to bottle. i have a similar big IPA and that's what I do. I've done 3 versions of it and all have tasted awesome at that point.

SCBrewster · Jun 3, 2013

So it must just depend on the style of beer more than the gravity?

SCBrewster · Jun 3, 2013

Sorry. Newbie questions lol

gstrawn · Jun 7, 2013

We were all newbies once! No worries. I don't think it would be too hot alcohol wise as far as aging is concerned and Belgians typically need a lot more conditioning time. With the big hops in there I wouldn't worry much about long conditioning time. Keep your ferm temps in line and a month is certainly not unreasonable

I tried one of these today, now I want to attempt to make it. Wonder how it gets the 10% alcohol? Clone recipe I found says 3#s honey added for 5 gallon batch
