Welcome, and what a back door entry? The recipe forums on here are filled with tried and true home runs to keep you busy for years. Eric

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible smile! Love me some BOC Eric

I am not Irish, but I am always ready to brew, drink, learn, hangover, repeat. Eric

How was your crush? What jumps out at me is a low mash in temp. My grain temp is usually in the 70 degree range. Brewers friend usually calls for 168-170 strike water, to hit 152 mash in temp. Poor starch conversion is your issue imho. Eric

My experience with this beer was similar to yours. To smooth, 4 pints, lights out! Eric

The Nottingham yeast is a beast! If you do not use a blow off tube, you will wish you did. It is a very strong yeast that finishes quickly. My first go with that yeast last month in a porter resulted in a lot of cleaning that could have been avoided with a blow off. Eric

No beer? A 8% stout maybe? Tsk Tsk Balanced meal planning required. Eric

@TandemTails, If you have not used knottingham before, search some threads. BTW that yeast is on next recipe for Irish red instead of the us05. Eric

Kegged this today. Wow what a punch of flavor from my hydrometer reading! Yum Yum Yooper! and thank you. Brewed the original recipe doubled for 10gallon batch. Fermented us05 at 68. Can not wait for this to age. Eric

All this activity is going to make me brew it again next weekend. Eric

Congrats! While this beer is great right out of the gate, 2 weeks in the keg changes its character a lot. Eric

Buying my own mill impacted my brewing the most. Second only to my new ferment chamber. Effiecency and consistency. Eric

Knottingham yeast, not to be taken lightly! lol Eric

Roger that. Thank you. Eric

Brewed up Yoopers ale recipe. Eric

So I have been working my way through the all star recipe's on this board. I prefer porters and stouts, but did the raging irish on a whim and really liked it. All these had a low volume of hops. Today I did Yoopers ale recipe. It had the most hops in my brewing history as well as the most...

10 gallon 3 vessel system. Fermentation chamber. Drink most of it, give some away. Most of my mates have really poor taste in beer, most are addicted to coors lite. Ohhhh the horror! Eric

My latest forum batch was the bee cave porter. Another forum home run. This weekend it's yoopers ale Eric

I wound my own copper emersion chiller. I toasted myself for noodling that the water should enter at the top, and exit from the bottom. Beyond that, cold flow good, hot flow bad. Eric

I am enjoying pints of this as I type. It will be on my house list! Eric
