All set to brew a big batch of "Base Street" (recipe below) with all of the feedback I read in this thread on Monday. Pretty damn excited, but any and all feedback is welcome: Batch Size (Gallons): 12 Original Gravity: 1.076 Final Gravity: 1.020 IBU: 25.71 Boiling Time (Minutes)...

Thanks @lilbova3! Another quick question...what have you guys been shooting for IBU wise on your Street clones?

Going to brew a ten gallon batch on Monday one batch with 1318 and a second with Trillium Can (assuming Conan) dregs. Going to split the dry hop to create 5 gallons of Melcher (Mosaic) & Congress (Galaxy). My question is which yeast strain would you pair with the individual clone recipes based...

Do you have access to a Blichmann bottling gun?

Thanks for all the information you and @stonebrewer have compiled! Was wondering if you have tried harvesting any yeast from their cans? I just came back to Chicago with a couple four packs and was going to give it the old college try. Willing to share it with you guys if it works...

The Cereal Killer concept would just beers inspired by breakfast cereal...not the actual fermentables :). So I would be trying to hold true to your recipe Slim, trying to decide if a little honey or a bump in honey malt needs to be added.

My home brew club is planning a October party and I am thinking of making a Cereal Killer series consisting of three childhood breakfast cereal favorites. Golden Grahams would be the take here and wondering on how much honey comes through here and if I need to scale down the grain bill a bit so...

After 6 days it looks like primary fermentation stopped at 1.050 - clocking in at 10.50%. I had a couple friends try the hydrometer sample and they were dumbfounded that there was no added coffee. Some big roasty/coffee and medium bitter chocolate notes. All my friends asked me to carb this...

Good catch...that was taken during the boil, I definitely uploaded the wrong pic.

I used Skibb's recipe...I liked that it used all the grains mention off of the Cigar City Blog from when Wayne was first crafting the recipe. 5.25 gallon batch (70% eff) OG: 1.137 (31 P) FG: 1.053 (13 P) ABV: 11% 13# 4 oz Maris Otter - 47% 5# 8 oz Munich II - 20% 2# 14 oz Flaked Barley - 10%...

Brewed this one up last night and it went very well. I had MZ once before (probably close to 3 years ago) and the color seemed spot on...but you could also call it wishful thinking. I think I barely missed the SG, it was calling for 1.137 and it looked closer to the 1.130 end. I made a...

A quick question for those who have brewed this recipe and/or another RIS. I used Mr. Malty and the recommended starter size is 5.32 liters with a stir plate (using Wyeast 1968 & plenty of yeast nutrients). Wanted to know if I should plan on blasting this with CO2 a couple times during...

Thanks for all the groundwork on this one...I'll be brewing this one up with Skibb's recipe and will report back. Bought all the ingredients tonight and will be ramping up a starter to brew next Tuesday.

I am definitely willing to go in on this barrel. I am a newbie on this HBT buy, but a member of CHAOS and can get a couple of peeps to vouch for me if needed. Thanks!

I just saw this forum and registered on the Group Buy page...will I be able to still get in on this before the midnight deadline? Thanks!
