I went with 4 lbs honey malt, 39 lbs 2-row.Nice. Did you bump up the honey malt?
Well, after a few more weeks in the keg, the beer is pouring absolutely clear. Surprisingly enough, the hop aromas and flavor are still shining through much more than I would have expected. Aroma is exceptional.
Color is a wee bit darker now that the yeast isn't reflecting so much light too.
I still stand by my estimate of bumping up the honey malt. If I brew this again, I will shoot for a ~90/10 ratio of 2-row and honey.
I look forward to hearing about your results jkovac!
My sample of Lush was darker than yours. Interesting.
Thanks. I had it at the brewery when I visited Seattle in April. You are lucky to have it available on draft where you live!Yeah my Lush was from a growler from Fremont. Sorry I didn’t specify initially.
Mine has now been kegged about 10 days. I like it, and it is definitely similar to Lush taste-wise, although I still like Lush better. To me Lush is brighter and cleaner. It is subtle, and I think I need to understand way more about water than I do now in order to really improve on brewing this and other beers. I bought the Palmer Water book awhile ago. Time to read it.
