I used raw as well but I'm super curious how it would turn out with using some lightly toasted wood.

I'd try this if I did it again: 18lbs domestic 2-row 3lbs white wheat 1lb sucanat 1lb Crystal (120) 4oz english chocolate 4oz black patent 1oz Warrior hops at 60min .75oz Glacier at 30min 1oz Palisade at 15min Make a huge starter with Scottish Ale 1728 (use a starter calc) and I'd...

Thanks for the tip and specifying how much cold brew to add. So many posts just say add cold brewed coffee and leave it at that. I'd always been worried about diluting my beer too much but if it's only 2/3 cup roughly it's probably not a big deal. I'll have to give this a try next time since...

Thought I'd post something in this thread since it came up when I was looking for answers on how munch coffee to add and for how long. I brewed the Northern Brewer Bender AG clone and have had it in primary for a bit over 3 weeks now. After reading this thread I decided to add about 7.5oz of...

Turns out you were right. So it's been over 9 months now since I brewed this. I cracked one open about 3 weeks ago now and it was much better. The booziness had dissipated as well as the overpowering palo santo notes. I guess it just takes a much longer time with a high octane beer like this to...

Ah, thanks for the reminder. Well the beer turned out really boozy. Also, .5oz of palo santo wood for only 4 days was still too much. I'd probably cut that in half again, the amount and time it sits in there. I'm also thinking I'd maybe try about 1lb of sucanat and ramp up either the wheat or 2...

Thanks, good to know we weren't incredibly far off. Sucanat is just pure dried cane sugar, still with the molasses content in it. In the youtube vid where they go through the "making of" they mention sucanat as an ingredient. That was the 1 ingredient I really didn't have a clue about so it was...

Alright, here's what we ended up going with. (heating up H20 right now...) 16lbs domestic 2-row 3lbs white wheat 2lbs sucanat 1lb Crystal (120) 4oz english chocolate 4oz black patent 1oz Warrior hops at 60min .75oz Glacier at 30min 1oz Palisade at 15min We're not expecting it to be very...

Hey everyone, I've been looking all over for a clone recipe for Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron. I just ordered some palo santo wood from amazon and am going to pick up some sucanat after work. I know it's basically an imperial brown but I'm pretty new to all grain (this will be my 4th batch...

I'd also love to know what ended up happening and what recipe you used.

Just going through old threads and thought I'd let everyone know I had absolutely no issues and the beer turned out amazing. Thanks everyone!

Want

It took around 10-12 hrs for activity to perk up but I have krausen flowing out of the one I used Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes and the other one I used Wyeast 1056 American Ale is bubbling away. Still crossing my fingers but I'm slightly less worried...

At this point it's been about 20 hours since the wort was put in our fermentors. I'm fairly sure my sanitation practices were up to par but it's still causing me lots of mental stress thinking about how long the wort would have to sit before pitching if I did do a starter. At this point I think...

Hello, I'm new to the forum so forgive me if this is a question that is overly obvious. I'm also new to brewing, I've done two extract batches and that's it. My brother and I went to a group brew event yesterday and each came home with 5gal of Black IPA wort (SG 1.060). Because we were both...
