I finally got around to brewing this using what was ultimately very close the the recipe provided by
@dmtaylor.
It was my first BIAB, so there were some efficiency issues just getting my kettle up to mash temp, my water volumes were off for various reasons I need not go into. Add to this that the entire grain bill was sent to me partially mixed, so my quantities had to be somewhat estimated.
Regardless, I went from grain to glass in about 17 days. I'm simply not patient enough to let beer sit, and do it's thing. I don't have the space in my fridge to crash, but my ferment temps are around 64, so it's usually resulted in decent extract results for me. Plus, I am not dealing with an oxygen free process, at bottling time, plastic fermenter buckets etc., so I am eager to get the stuff conditioning in the bottle. I am not sending anything to competitions either.just wanna nice beer.
Anyway, I was initially attempting to clone 100th Meridian, by Mill Street In Toronto, and while I am not sure I have come close to the actual taste, my beer tastes great, and I am in the general vicinity. I do happen to have an original beer in my fridge. I might just do a side by side. On memory alone, my beer feels like it might be a tad more bitter in after taste, and a later cascade addition or dry hopped cascade, may have helped, to give it just that hint of IPA style tartness or fruit, the original subtly has.
I might well taste them side by side, and realize they are miles apart. My intent, again, was not to clone, but to make something similar.
In the end, I am delighted with my results. I'll post a picture. I'll do the side by side too, give the wife the original to finish, maybe have her try both together too, and report back.
