I have done that before and it turned out fine.MikeyLXT said:I have 1 oz of Summt remaining from my last brew day. Could I substitute the FWH addition of Citra to Summit without major changes in taste if i calculate our the correct IBUs?
Poured the 1st pint yesterday of my 3rd batch of this recipe. This one used whole leaf hops from 2012 and is so much more citrusy than the previous. You never know from hop source to hop source. I'm digging it though! Lots of mango flavors where before, just general citrusy tastes. I have another half pound of this hops source as well as a new delivery of 2013 Citra. It will be interesting to see the differences between the 2 hop sources in the next batches. I also used a pound less of 2 row pale and got a 6.3% abv. This one is kind of a zombie dust xmas special! I believe I will add that pound of pale back in though going forward.
So glad this thread is still rockin! I've yet to try a real Three Floyd's Zombie Dust and would gladly pay to have some shipped but never have even come close to getting that accomplished. Great recipe none the less!

I would like to brew this, have never tried it but like the sound of it and have enjoyed other Three Floyds beer. I only have 5oz of Citra leaf left, after adjusting the recipe for a 5.5gal batch I would need 8oz. Any good ideas oh how to make this work? I have lots of Columbus, Bravo, Belma, Cascade, Pearle and Willamette. And some Centennial, Mosaic, Chinook, Falconers Flight and Northern Brewer.
I apologize if this has been asked before, I read 30 or so of the 81 pages of this thread and didn't see a good answer.

I am adding the recipe from page 1 to my beersmith 2 and It is calculating a very different IBU from what the page 1 recipe says.
beersmith is close on everything else.
which should I trust? paste from beersmith 2 is below..
I've just tried this recently. Warmer serving temps in upper 40s there was a distinct melon flavor which goes away in the 30's. I thought the beer was weak overall, but it is only an APA and a pretty good one at that. More dry hops would certainly be interesting. Perhaps a perfect summertime thirst quencher. Though it seemed to pack quite a buzz while not tasting any alcohol at all (s04).
That was a very ambiguous post
9 days primary, 12 days dry hop. 19 days in the keg at 12 psi up until tonight (dropped it down to 8 psi). It took a bit to come along, but it smells incredible now. Taste isn't quite there, mild citrus and quite floral. Light body, carbonation is decent enough. I'm sure I'll do a better job of it in the future, but I'm reasonably happy with how it turned out. OG 1.062, FG 1.011.
I've read quite a bit about how dry-hopping for longer than ten days gives grassy off flavors but then I suppose there may be several variables involved such as pellet or leaf, or possibly what kind of hops are being used. As far as the OG being .042 that definitely seems low. Mine came in at around 1.055 and I was still concerned about that being too low. Did you go AG or extract?
Docbuzz24 said:Ok, so this is my first attempt of what I'm sure will be many at the zombie dust recipe. First concern is my original gravity was a little low at 1.042, I' sure it is just going to end up being a low ABV beer. I can live with that so long as the flavor is good. Which brings me to my second concern, I have found a mixture of thoughts on how long to dry hop. I've read several recipes that say 3, 7, 10, and even 17 days. My opinion is 17 days is going to be way to long and end up with an overly bitter or off flavored beer. So I'm thinking the 7-10 day range should be just right. Any advice here would be great.
Sanker said:Sifted through loads of pages on this thread and couldnt find what I needed (if its been answered and I missed it, my apologies) How and when do I use the FWH method when doing an all extract brew? Do I just steep the hops with a the grains for 20-30 min? If so, do I then remove the hops or let em float for the entire brew? Im new to FWH, and im finding limited info for extract brews
I just checked on my current batch and the white stuff u see in the pic is floating all throughout the brew. The dry hops were added yesterday so just unsure if it's normal or not.
