Well I have to admit that I too brewed this recipe. :) I brewed it on 10/18, two weeks later it landed at 1013 (diacetyl rest too). Cold crashing for a few days at 34F then keg and lager for a few weeks. My only sample didn't have much of a malt aroma and was a bit hoppier than planned. On...

I just did this and it seems to work fine. In fact, I used a small mason jar of trub from a smokey raunchier. A month and a half later the sample smelled like a baconey fire pit. I made a 3L starter with it and after 48 hours cold crashed the starter. The starter "beer" tasted like a clean lager...

I use the Williams wand and regulator with the lowes red tanks. Fermentation is furious and the beer is great. http://www.williamsbrewing.com/WILLIAMS-OXYGEN-AERATION-SYSTEM-P699.aspx

I just did a clone of enjoy by. 17 lbs for 6 gallons. It rang in at 70 pct efficiency, adjusting for 1lb of sugar). I did an overnight mash. The sample tasted great. I use a ratcheting pulley.

Because this is a homebrew forum, not PancakeTalk.com.

Quick update. I it took a sample. It's down to 1.012. I had it fermenting at about 64 (bucket temp). I just raised it to 70 t get it to finish up. It' smells great, hazy, a big but not boozy, quit bitter. Hop flavor reflects the blend that I used which I clouded citra, Amarillo, centennial, and...

I made a citra Amarillo wheat IPA and served in six days for a beer event. It was extremely popular and people did not believe the timeline. Hit FG and you're good to go for some beers. The pros do it.

Suuuubscribed.

I still haven brewed this but I did brew my first lager. It came out great (a rauchbier). Now I'm thinking of doing this as a lager, thoughts?

I brewed this today using 10 lbs of American and 7 lbs of English 2 row. I had to adjust the hops a bit based on my inventory. One thing to note... I had to mash overnight because kids. I got great efficiency, probably close to 80%. I do biab. I'll oxygenate and pitch a huge amount if 05...

Yes. I usually put it into the fermenter at 100 and then into the fermentation chamber. Pitch the next day.

That's the right attitude. Please keep us posted!

Awesome! Thanks for the update my fermenter frees up this week so this recipe is next in line.

Harbor Freight has a set for about $20. They work great.

Yes, that's exactly what the author did. Brewed in late August or early September and let the saison batch age longer for turkey day. Keep us posted.
