Awesome! Thanks for sharing:mug:

Hey BOYD, I do not think there is anything about this recipe that would ferment out any quicker than other moderate gravity ales. Your 1.056 OG, is significantly lower than the 1.064 range for the original recipe. Did you do the original recipe? Miss your gravity a bit? If you pitch an...

Give it another week. Warming is good. American Ale yeast can be slow in low 60s.

Carastan is 30-37 SRM British crystal. Very nice malt in small doses. Personally I would not use biscuit in place of crystal in a clone if this beer. I get more caramel/bready than biscuit in the pallet. I think the flavor is as much from the yeast as the malt, 002/1968 gives a nice bready finish.

Nope just the one try for me. Brambling Cross is just way off my radar. I use NW grown hops for all my beers these days.

That is a good plan. I often split my dry hops: 1/2 in primary at end of active fermentation for 5-7 days, then bag the rest and keg them.

Also, I would increase the dry hops to at least 2 oz total.

The original recipe in Radical Brewing called for Cascade at 60 and 30 , then EKG at 5. I simply replaced that hop bill with Simcoe, Amarillo and cascade. I have moved the 30 minute addition to 20 or 15 for most of my iterations of this beer. So I find 20 min for the second addition makes for a...

As stated, personal preference. My personal preferences are always toward smooth bitterness and huge aroma. If you like the aroma of your hops in combination, go for it. "As good as Simcoe, Cascade and Amarillo?" Not in my opinion, but I have an unhealthy affection for Simcoe and Amarillo;)

Columbus or Apollo for bittering Columbus at 30 Citra at 5

Hey Doublehaul, nice name by the way. Got to get out fishing soon . So I think I am the only one to brew the lighter version. I got 1.014 or so on the lighter version and I get 1.016 on the regular recipe. Yes a lot of Munich, but if you read through this thread I don't think you will find any...

MO is a good choice. Might want to split the basemalt with 1/2 pale and 1/2 MO, then the munich? Then again if you want more bready/biscuity overtones, go with the MO. I use Fawcett and Sons MO and Crisp a lot and really like them both. Go for it. Happy Mashin!

I am not giving up! ;)Just don't think my first attempt is close enough to recommend as a a clone. Wow, 14 batches of HT? That is dedication! My CDA scored a 34, used midnight wheat exclusively for dark grains with MO and c-60 Simcoe, Columbus 1968 yeast. 1.068/68 IBU Was a bit thin. Can't...

Thanks! Mashing right now.

I have done 1.052/30 IBU SMaSH beers(cascade for all) with MO, Gambrinus pale and GW 2-row. All different. The difference between Gambrinus and GW is not great, but I find Gambrinus a bit cleaner and slightly more malty. MO (I use Crisp and Fawcett) is mildly biscuity.

Hi brewers, I am brewing a 1.054 porter tomorrow and I usually put some flaked oats in this recipe, but I am out of oats, and don't want to make another stop at the LHBS or supermarket, I have flaked wheat I was planning to use in a wit, but never brewed it. So, would 1/2 lb flaked wheat add the...

That sounds like a good place to re-start. BTW, congrats on the CDA win!

Hey Adam, after having about a dozen people try the beer I brewed, I would say its not very close to RPM, or less close than I originally thought. I think less crystal, maybe some wheat malt? maybe more corn sugar to dry it out more. There could be Columbus, I had two guys say they felt like...

I like 007. I use it on a union Jack clone, and it is able to attenuate a bit better than 1968/002.

Here are the hops for the 12 gallons I did. The other guys did variation on this. .5 oz Bravo (15.5%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min 1 oz Bravo (15.5%) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min 1 oz Chinook (13.0%) - added during boil, boiled 5 min 2.0 oz Centennial (10.1%) - added during boil...
