I just wanted to check and see if you still have any of this available?

I was able to confirm that they do indeed dry hop this. I'm planning to do something similar this coming weekend and will post back the final recipe in the next few days. Cheers! Keith

Sucks that it was a bad brew day, but I'm glad that the nosferatu flavor was there! I am planning to brew this in a few weeks, so I will let you know how it goes and any tweaks that I end up making. Cheers! Keith

Bumping an old thread here to see if anyone ever brewed this and what their thoughts were on the recipe. I'm looking to brew a nosferatu clone this weekend and was going to tweak what's here unless there were suggestions on something different. Cheers! Keith

Thanks for the help here guys! I hadn't thought about the potential for leaks in the seal allowing for release outside of the airlocks. Seeing the same lack of activity in both fermenters made me think there was an issue. I may end up with an overly strong wheat beer at the end of all of this...

The grain crush looked good or at least as good as my last all grain and my prior mini mashes. Admittedly I have not brewed a wheat prior, so I may have needed to run the wheat through a 2nd time. Unfortunately I checked my gravity post mash when hot and adjusted thinking it was fine. After not...

I should have clarified that I treated 13 gallons of water, but I had to add a few additional gallons for sparging when I only had 10 gallons of yield and wanted 13. I expected a boil off of 1 - 2 gallons (lost a little over 1 gallon with my 1st batch) and wanted to be over 10 gallons rather...

will 3 quarts of water be enough for 6 lbs of DME?

Thanks for the suggestion… I figure in order to have room for the additional water I would need to pull some amount of liquid out of my fermenter. I think your approach is much better than mine, so I will just take a small amount of wort out of the fermenter steep the DME and add back with new...

Thanks for the advice on this. I had enough grain to hit my OG as I had about 16-18#'s of grain total that should have got me about 1.055 at 80% efficiency. I think I didn't let my sparge water sit long enough to re-suspend the sugars and I didn't stir at all with my second sparge batch. The...

With my 1st batch of all grain I didn't get a water report, I didn't make any adjustments and I ended up with a pretty good beer. My efficiency was fairly low at around 65%, so I got a water report with the following results… pH 7.3 TDS Est 200 EC 0.33...
