It's delicious. We need an accurate clone recipe.

If the "cap" on IBU is around 100 then I assume it may be impossible for them to get enough bitterness into the 120 to balance out how much sugar has to go in to get it to 20%. I also agree though, I found the beer near undrinkable when we got one for a friends bachelor party.

He's more than entitled to that beer. He probably doesn't understand what the big deal is. And like a dozen other people have commented on you're very lucky to have a father who will/can try your beer and enjoy it on top of that. Someday you'll be wishing you could give him another beer to try...

Terrible. I can drink about a half of one if I've had 3 or 4 very hoppy beers beforehand and kinda kill my taste. I think I'm going to keep them around and open one up every time I consider buying Nottingham yeast.

Yeah I feel the same way. I have some ruined beer from this and I didn't even keep the packets to send back. Even if their representative that posted here said 'we're sorry about all the trouble guys..' would have gone a long way with me. Maybe I'm just bitter that I make enough mistakes on my...

I think it's probably more that you're implying that almost everyone uses glass carboys which is definitely not the case. I use almost all plastic fermenters and only bust out glass carboys for certain processes or wines. While the people who have been around here and know that plenty of...

I just recently bottled some EdWort's Haus Pale Ale that used this yeast and it's the only all grain batch I've done (out of 10 or so) that is completely undrinkable at this point. I don't know what exact tastes I'd attribute to it, but it's not good. It could be coincidence and this is jsut...

First batch here.. 6 gallons + 13497 = 13503
