Scratch that, it is definitely WLP007. Clone kits made with help from Surly list the yeasts they use. For their other ales it says "Surly uses White Labs WLP007 Dry English Ale" http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/surly-furious-pro-series-all-grain-kit.html Video below says they only have 4...

I don't think it's been totally confirmed that they use 007. However, most people have assumed that's what they use based on the fact that Furious, Bender, and Bitter Brewer all use WLP007. No doubt it could be wrong though.

Todd at Surly just responded to me about hitting the FG. To be honest I'm quite surprised about mashing at 150 F. Thoughts?

Definitely would appreciate some of your notes/recipe you followed. I see your point about Bender having the aroma hops being FWH rather than doing the same bittering hop for FWH and 60 min. Maybe that does make more sense. I agree that one of the big questions is how they get that 10%...

Made some notes above - assuming the typical Surly grains they use. I'm wondering a little about the hop schedule and amounts though. Hitting the IBUs is pretty easy to come up with, but the flavor/aroma is less straightforward. Most of Surly's recipes seem to use FWH or Mash Hops. The...

Thanks skibb, I did find that and it's a big help. Just trying to sort out this final gravity thing, because even in the recipe you posted has 1.040 FG which I'm having trouble replicating in beersmith and on brewtoad. Maybe I'm missing something.

Just bottled 5g worth of my first attempt at it 4533.5 + 5 = 4538.5

From Surly's numbers on their website. OG: 29° Plato = 1.124 ABV: 9.8 % v/v So has to be FG 1.049 by calculation Just trying to figure out how to get there...

Wouldn't WL007 ferment out way lower normally (like 1.124 to 1.030)? I know that's what Surly is using so could they be cold crashing before fermentation is complete? Then, racking off the yeast as much as possible. Then, loooong secondary. Rack off any yeast again. Then, force carbing...

From what I've gathered you'd need OG 1.124 and 1.049 FG from these numbers to reach ~9.8 %. How on Earth can you get 1.049 FG?

Funnily enough I also brewed on the 30th and am in the same boat! For what it's worth, BM himself responded to this very similar situation and I'm following his advice. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/index101.html#post2520319

Plan on brewing the extract version today. Any recommendations a for fermentation and bottling schedule if I need this ready to drink in 4 weeks? Or just follow the original post - 4 days primary, 5 days secondary, then bottle and drink when I need 4 weeks from now?

here's what a nice guy on another forum came up with: thoughts?

I honestly have ZERO homebrewing experience, but want to get into it soon. Obviously, this beer wouldn't be done on my first brewing attempt, but it my favorite beer that I one day hope to replicate. I hope that some of you have had Darkness so that you can provide some good info on how to...
