Boston and I are brewing these this weekend (actually I'm starting mine now)...so it would be appropriate to de-classify the recipes I guess.
You up for it bro?
I'm heating mash water....

It's cool that you guys figured it out- I hear the guy who runs that brewery is sort of a jealous guardian of his secrets...
(But it's a Baltimore brew- so yeeee-ha! Support your local brewer!)

I a little surprised at the lack of use of the Database.
Boston said:I bet the ambient temp (34 F. ?) is messing you up. Just like it did last weekend?

Looks real nice. I picked up some Loose Cannon last weekend, guess I know what I'm cracking open tonight!
todd_k said:What did you think of it? I have to admit I was disappointed when I tried a bottle of it after we had it at the cask ale tent. Still really good though!
Dude said:I just got back from the taphouse where it is on tap. Holy crap I love that beer. The aroma is jsut so out of this world.
BTW, I had a Stone Smoked Porter off of draft tonight--VERY underwhelming. I detected no smoke at all. It was a good porter, but I wanted smoke. A while back I gave the bottled Stone Smoked Porter the nod over my own, but looking back mine was definitley better than the one I had tonight. Thought you'd like to hear that bird....I know you like the Stone Porter.....
the_bird said:Have you had the Alaskan Smoked Porter? I can't remember. I like the fact that Stone isn't overwhelming, it's not a rauchbier, it just has some subtle aroma. I know you LOVE the smoke, you'd love the '06 Alaskan (if you haven't had it yet).
the_bird said:I have three bottles - can I pick who you'd kill?
the_bird said:Bombers. I have two '05s and one '06 (from all accounts, the '06 was smokier than usual). I can get AB up here, but I can't remember if the good store have the oaked one this last time (I've seen it there before).
pjj2ba said:Any update on these beers? I'm hoping to try my hand at a Loose Cannon clone in the next month and was wondering how Dude and Boston's recipes are turning out. The wife of a coworker of mine had this beer when she was out with us recently and said that I had to brew this, and she'd pay for half the ingredients and help out with the brewing and CLEAN UP (and she'll take half the beer).
pjj2ba said:I got a PM from oster99 asking me how my attempt turned out so I thought I would post my recipe in this thread.
I was VERY pleased with how my attempt turned out. Side by side versus the bottled version, I and my friends liked mine better. Mine was kegged. The one bar in town that had it on tap ran out so I couldn't at least do a comparison in one day, but based on my taste memory, mine was more similar to the kegged version.
I'll be brewing this again this spring, but will probably back off on the base malt so it is not quite so potent.
OG 1.072 FG 1.012 7.9% ABV, 72 IBU
White labs 001 yeast (Cal. Ale)
5 gal batch (into the fermenter)
10.5 lbs Pale male (Optic)
1.5 lbs Munich
0.5 lbs Carafoam
0.5 lbs Carastan (34 degrees L)
Mash at 153 F
.25 oz each of Amarillo, Centennial and Magnum - FWH
.125 oz Chinook - 60 min.
.25 oz Magnum - 60 min.
.5 oz each of Amarillo and Centennial - 10 min.
.5 oz each of Amarillo and Centennial - 5 min.
1 oz each of Centennial and Palisade - Dry Hop
