Wow, this stuff is good! Drinking it now on the keg!

I just made this last night, it was my first all grain! I hit a brewhouse efficiency of 77.94% and a OG of 1.054. Not bad for my first time :) I made a executive decision on the yeast and went with Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale. I will keep everyone updated! Ended up coming out to 6 gallons of wort...

Yeah, I most defiantly wouldn't do it unless i got Nitrogen in the tank... And it's not that uncommon, i used to shoot nitro all the time in my timmy.

Has anyone tried this yet? I want to use my existing carbon wrapped paintball nitrogen tank and hook it up to my kegerator's Co2 reg. I have been looking but I haven't seen anything... http://www.rebelbrewer.com/shoppingcart/products/The-Adapter-%252d-Paintball-Tank-Regulator-Coupling.html...

I'm thinking about adding .75lbs more of beet sugar, that should OG at 1.078 and give me my 8.66%... thoughts? Or should I just leave it? I love stronger beers, so i'm tempted to... Update: I just called it a day and carboyed it and threw it in the fridge at day9 with a FG of 1.012

I didn't taste it yet, I will try it out tonight when I get home... I'm going to start the lager cycle tonight when I get home if it appears to be done. It seemed like it was slowly going this morning.

I'm pretty much stuck at 1.012... It' won't go any lower, I think it may be from the extract recipe? Maybe the only way to attenuate that low is to follow the all grain time schedule? I'm going to give it a few more days. I gave it some nutrient and energizer the other day, so i'm hoping its...

Thanks for the reminder, I will put it by a heating duct when I get home tonight :)

I'm making this right now, but I went with a extract recipe instead and 5 gallons batch. I will share my recipe and update as follows. 1 liter yeast starter (24hours time, with 1 cup of boiled DME and 4 cups of water for a OG of 1040) Yeast starter notes: don't use normal sugar, use the DME...

Yeah, thats the recipe I went from when converting to LME. And i'm a personal big fan of Final Absolution myself. All I have to say is my clone came pretty close. I'm really interested to see how the AG version compares, I would think that it actually comes out closer then mine. Because I...

Keep me posted on this All Grain version!!! I have yet to try it out...

@30 days you can drink it, and it's good still. But no way is it done and refine to how you would want it at day60+. I kegged mine at day32, and it was drinkable after a week sitting in the keg under pressure in the kegrator. But it most definitely matured into a better beer after day60. I...

Yes, this is correct about Dragonmeads site, I have personally been there many times! I love the environment. As far as your comment about being 8.5% and 10%, the first recipe was 8.5% then dragonmead redid it to 10%. Where this beer truly shines if you ask me.

All depends on how it ferments, I would get it out of the primary as soon as you can. 10 to 12 days should be good. Then move to secondary. You really need to get it aged for about 2 months. Further, I did notice it condition out with a smoother taste after sitting in the keg for about 2 weeks.

In reply to togabear, I'm glade it taste good for you! I'm going to make this batch again soon myself. It was a big hit with all my friends. And it's one of those beers that you can get a girl to drink, it's also pretty strong... As far as aging goes, I suggest around 45 days to 60 days. But...

I used clear, but I actually used beet sugar. Which is the same thing and 1/3 the price.

I would give it more time to get the attenuation down a little bit, It will come down eventually. A possible re-rack into the secondary will give it another boost after 10 to 14 days. I made a double with my last batch, it came out good. But not as good as this... I'm going to make this batch...

Can't go wrong with it, from start to finish 30 days... This beer was gone in 5 days, all my friends loved it. Even my girlfriend who doesn't like beer. It's funny, I haven't had ONE person say they didn't like it. If there was anything i could change, i would try to keep the IBU's down. I...

I just finished this, and all can say is WOW!!! I went to a local brewery near me that had some Belgian Gran Cru and I took a growler home with me. Very little difference between the two. This beer is amazing and i'm making a second batch soon!
