I'm in, thanks!

Echoing everyone else -- spares are your friends. I have 3 tanks and it has saved me repeatedly. Agree, 3-5 batches per tank.

I often start with Brewing Classic Styles, then cross-reference HBT, NB, and Google, before designing a recipe.

Great contest! Thanks Homebrew Supply! I'll go with: Saq's The Pious Westvleteren 12 Style Quad Clone - All-Grain Recipe Kit

Pouring slowly, I can pitch the entire starter but save the bar. If it goes in... no big deal. I get it whenever I rack the beer (typically to the bottling bucket).

Very helpful, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm strongly considering going this route (from two coolers and a kettle with propane burner). Any more pics you have would be very welcome. Can you advise... how long does it take to reach mash temps, then boil temps, for a given typical volume? Also, how are...

Just read/skimmed through this thread. Simply amazing. Wonderful work.

Oh, and I'm very interested to hear how your no-recipe Backwardgate #100 turns out! So keep us apprised please!

Nice. Actually, as far as approach, I guess these days I operate much the same here. Get an idea, maybe look at a few recipes for inspiration, then use Brewer's Friend to craft my own version. Although it depends on my familiarity with the style, I suppose. Congrats on the long-term...

Happy Birthday! :mug: :rockin: Love the Backwardgate name and concept. I must say I'm not so bold yet as to brew without a recipe, but maybe someday...

Looks great. Post pics of a brew session once you're up and running if you can! Cheers :mug:

So did you follow through on this yet? Curious to know what you ended up with. Cheers! :mug:

Thank you!!! :mug:

Can anyone help with the decoction schedule? :mug:

I know this is an old thread, but @Yooper is a huge fan of this recipe and I'm looking to do a Vienna Lager, I have similar questions -- but I don't even SEE the decoction schedule. I assume it must be in the .rec and .xml files, which I am unable to import/use. Is the decoction schedule...

Huge fan. Seen all the episodes many times. Funny thread... 2011 ---bump--> 2015. Welcome to all you other Browncoats, new and old!

I'm wondering if anyone with experience can suggest when to add tart cherry concentrate to a Berliner Weisse, in pursuit of a Cherry Wheat ale? FWIW, I'm seeking to emulate (not necessarily clone) Petoskey Brewing's Michigan Cherry Wheat, which is quite delicious and popular with someone close...

Thanks for the input. I'll try plugging in your numbers and see what that does to the stats.

Here's a recipe I've worked up, aiming for something like Nosferatu. Please give feedback. Has anyone really nailed this one? 6 gal OG 1.080 FG 1.019 ABV 8.0% IBU 71 SRM 19 16 lb 5 oz 2-row 1.25 lb Special Roast 1 lb C-80 4 oz roasted barley (late) 1 oz Simcoe 75 min 1 oz Cascade 15 min 1...
