Dude is in the military and moved to Germany in January for a 2 or 3 year long stay.
His activity on the forum had fallen off drastically before he moved, and I don't expect it to pick up speed anytime soon.
I think I am going to try this this weekend anyone brewed this lately with any suggestions?
I think Dude used pellets. I used whole hops (same amounts). Dude tasted my batch and really liked it (even wondering out loud if I'd beat him with his own recipe).So this is a newb question but do you have to change the amounts if you are using pellets instead of leaf hops? Is the recipe as it is posted now for pellet or leaf hops?
Thanks
This has become my house pale ale for me.
Last night I amped up the grain bill to push it into IPA category to enter into a "Monster beer" (OG 1.0666 and above) contest we have here at end of month
10.75 lbs 2 row
2.5 lbs special roast
.75 flaked wheat
.5 crystal 60
OG should be 1.075. Color is a bit dark but... I'll probably toast 3 lbs of the 2 row.
I'm also going to try the new Wyeast Greenbelt yeast at Austin Homebrew
Seems like wayyy too much special roast to me, especially with another 1/2 pound of Crystal and the possibility of toasting 3 pounds of the 2 row.
I kept the same proportions, think I should cut back and go with more 2 row?
how is the toasted malt character in this? is it very noticeable? is it similar to a vienna/munich/victory toasty/bready character or is it more unique?
