This recipe comes from the Jamil podcast. They comfirmed it being cloned on the show, and I brewed it once and was very happy with the results. 10.58 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 75.95 % 1.39 lb Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 9.98 % 0.70 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0...

How much of each spice did you use, and when?

I bought and crushed my grain at my local homebrew store, and I have a feeling the setting on the crusher was not were it should have been because I got terrible efficiency. I know I should have made sure, but I'm just curious what a typical setting is?

I would also recommend Surly Brewing Company. Their Coffee Bender is delicious. I'm definitely looking forward to Dogfish, Stone, and any other brewery that doesn't distribute to Minnesota.

I would have to agree that the yeast are not giving us beer farts. Whenever I drink a lot of Miller High Life, I'm clearing out rooms all day.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were going to brew a 5 gallon batch of these. What would the grain bill and hop amounts be? It sounds like an amazing beer.

I still don't understand why Stone doesn't ship to Minnesota.

I just bottled my 2 below clone last night, and I was surprised how much darker mine was from the actually beer. Was everyone elses clone a lot darker? Just curious. BTW, it tasted fantastic!

I brewed a New Belgium 2 below clone that called for 4 lbs. of grains, and I thought that was way to much. I just tasted a sample of it and there is tons of flavor. So I guess I did need of those specialty grains.

I want to bring a bunch of homebrew with me for Christmas. Before I drive home my car will be outside for 4 days in Minneapolis(BTW, it's freakin' cold here). I was wondering if there is way to prevent the beer from freezing as it sits in my car for 4 days?

Alright now I have it straight. Thanks

I'm brewing a recipe that calls for 1 oz of magnum hops and boil them for 60 minutes. If I do a partial boil, does it make sense to decrease the hops to around .5 oz?

I have a recipe that calls for 2 packs of yeast. I wasn't sure if both should be pitched at the same time. Here is the recipe: malts 6.6 light DME 2.25 crystal 40L 1.25 munich dark .5 victory malt hops; .5 magnum 1 oz liberty 1 oz sterling Yeast American ale wyest labs #1056...

Do you pitch both of the yeast packs at the same time?

I actually just bought a four pack of the 09' yesterday. I had one last night and it was fantastic! Now I'm going to let the other three age and see how better they get.
