Well I just popped open my first bottle of this, and I think I may have done something wrong. Because it tastes like it's missing something. It tastes good! Don't get me wrong. But there is definately something... Maybe I missed steeping one of the grains?

6811+2 gallons Bitchy Blonde Ale = 6813

I made a 1 gallon batch of this to test out about 2 weeks ago. Gonna bottle in a week or so and start enjoying around april fools day. :) Will post after I've tried it.

I also am curious on how this turns out. Anyone have any input?

A one gallon recipe, Awesome! (I'm exclusively making 1Gal recipes until I find enough recipes to make my pipeline) I think that I am going to give this a shot! On the list it goes! EDIT: recipe is printed, in the stack it goes. :)

Did anyone else ever try this? I think it looks good and I'll put it on my "to brew list"

5306+2= 5308 1x gal of turkeyfest 1x gal of honey ale ...man that was difficult xD

If it's good as is, why change? Other than AG is cheaper. Also, what is a suitable dry yeast to use instead of WLP029? If there is even one.

Made a one gallon tester batch of this on the 13th, but with Windsor instead. Currently all the bigger carboys are occupied. Smelled great! Hoping I can get a bigger batch going soon. thanks again for the great recipe! Schif

1435 +003 (apple ale) ---------------- 1438 +005 (quaffable irish red) ---------------- 1443 NEXT!!! schif

Got done brewing this a couple hours ago. Followed recipe to a tee, the hydrometer reading was 1.042, tasted a little spicy from the second hop addition. Tastes good tho! My NON-BEER DRINKING roommate enjoyed sampling that hydrometer sample even. I'm looking forward to drinking the finished...

This sounds delicious, any other progress notes or updates from anyone? Schif

This is definitely going to be on my "need to brew list!" half temped to bump it to the top of the list, so many good comments, and tasty looking pictures! Schif

Been thinking of doing an adaptation of this recipe. I'm not a HUGE fan of bitter, so I did lower the amounts of the hops to fit my taste profile based on what I have had in the past. (going low, can always up them later) This is also a 3 gallon batch, rather than the 5 gallon batch that is...
