Ahhhhhhh you are right.

Weird...When Tasty added in the C150 everyone seemed to agree that C150 made it farther from being cloned. And that second attempt that was just Special B for specialty malts they thought it was cloned (well, except for Tasty). It was in the Live from NHC show. I'll have to listen to the last...

Interesting... I'll have to try it out sometime. I have dry hopped at the last few gravity points--have you taken the gravity when the krausen drops? It is probably about the same as what I have done--I just assumed that the yeast were more active in your case.

Seems to me that the primary fermentor dry hop would be a waste of hops with all the aromatics being expelled with the CO2. Let us know how it turns out.

I have one of the lil' sparkys and I haven't used it in a while. I changed my system so I can whirlpool all the break and hop material to the center and draw off the side. When I use whole hops I may use it again so my pump doesn't get clogged.

I fly sparge with a SS braid in a circle and get 85% efficiency. The beers taste great. Ideally I would like a false bottom but I don't want to spend the money on one right now.

Holla!

In my relatively limited experience:

Sounds like your fermentation temp was a little too high for the yeast...what was your OG? Fusels smell hot--like if you pored a shot of cheap vodka into your pint of beer. (At least that is my interpretation) I don't think that letting it sit in a secondary, without a lot of yeast to clean...

I brewed it--it is an awesome beer. I will be brewing it again when I feel the need for liquid hops!

Just listened to it on the drive home. 1066 it is--I think I had a few too many the first time around!

Thanks--I must have missed that. I could have sworn in the episode he said 1071 for his and that Stone was 1072. I'll have to go back and listen again tonight.

I'm assuming the numbers didn't change too much from the original recipe, did they? OG 1071 and 67*--that answers my question. If anyone gets the chance to listen to that part of the brewcast again please post what they did the last time around.

Just listened to the show but didn't pay too much attention to two things: SG (I thought Tasty said 1071 but the latest recipe here has 1066 so I thought I'd ask) and also fermentation temp--did anyone catch this?

60*f

Thanks!

Title says it all--broke my old one and the new one is reading .004 higher than the other my old one. I checked it in DI H2O and in the FG of a beer that I had on tap. the beer was 1016 with the other one and 1020 with this one. Water was 1000 with the other and 1004 with the new one. Can I...

IRC I used Crystal 20 because I didn't have access to caramalt. Came out great.

I didn't need that much inside the kegerator. I also too a noodle (the pool variety) and wrapped that around the copper for additional insulation. Mine has worked great for almost a year now.

I kegged this last night and the beer came out amazing. The hop flavor is outrageous and it is a very drinkable 7.4% beer. I can't wait for it to carb and to create some space in the kegerator for it!
