So I just tapped Jamil's Red Rocket clone (highly hopped Amber Ale) which was the first of Jamil's recipes that I've brewed. I still have his American Brown in a fermenter, and I brewed his Robust Porter today. I kept his grain bills exact but sometimes needed to do hop substitutes, but tried my best to keep close to his intent.
Like I said, I tapped the Red Rocket. Still a bit undercarbed but, wow. I don't think it's quite to style for an Amber Ale, but dang this is a fine recipe. If any Fort Wayne brewers are reading, it reminds me of the Imperial Red that Mad Anthony's had on tap recently. Not a session brew, but a nice one pint pour.
So how many of you have brewed Jamil's recipes? Have most people had good luck with them? Any stand out?
