As theveganbrewer mentioned, the recipe I used to brew this beer doesn't contain many of the ingredients used in real Heady. That is why I didn't bother using my Conan.
Ahh! Thought you were making this clone and saying it isn't going to be close.

How'd you get the ECY? Did he start selling it?

in stock at least for the moment, limit 1 though
This beer is absolutely delicious. Very dank aroma w/ hints of tropical fruit, flavor is 100% hops from start to finish w/ a very firm bitterness, but also a smooth hop presence. Hard to explain w/ how many I've had the past two days, I'm still trying to wake up.
Just a heads-up....those looking to get Conan but haven't been able yet, ECY29 (Northeast Ale by East Coast Yeast) is available at love2brew.com
$15 shipping!! No thanks! I guess worth it if you have to get $67 worth of other things and qualify for free shipping.
Did you alter the recipe at all or straight up?

Hey did anyone else notice that the signpostbrewing blog is down? Kinda bummed - was just starting to gather up ingredients and now the 4.0 recipe is gone. Any chance someone has a copy of the most up to date Heady Topper Clone 4.0 recipe? Thanks.
Did you click on "more carriers" for the Priority Mail option?
The latest recipe is on the first post of this thread.
The hop extract gives bittering at 90 minutes then you get to relax until 5 minutes to go when the other additions start. At flameout throw in the “0 minute” hops then either wait or chill down below 180 degrees and add the “Aroma Steep” hops for 30 minutes.
Ferment at 68F.
This was in my notes. Perhaps it was posted somewhere in this thread.
What's the reason to wait 14 days before dry hopping?
I haven't checked, but I assume my 7 day old batch is done fermenting, so couldn't I just dry hop now? Do I gain anything by waiting?
No idea on waiting or not, but Heady is produced in 28 days I think they said.. So there's a reason to dry hop it as long and as late as possible to retain the same fresh qualities I would think.
cool, i hope whatever you're doing works out. is it Yeast Geek that has taken over your free time?Hello all. Sorry about taking Signpost down, my registration for the hosting account was up and I decided not to update. I've also gotten out of brewing so I'm not around here anymore. Change of careers and had to give up something. I'm glad you got the recipe and notes still. Thanks again to everyone who helped.
