North Coast gets Old Rasputin on the shelves is less than a month from brew date. With this balanced recipe you can enjoy a delicious RIS without the painful wait!

Any experiences with Hop Extract for bittering?

The recipe is spot on btw

Eh....not sure what the volume is. I set my keg at 12ish PSI for 3-4 days and it tastes right.

I have brewed the BYO clone recipe many times as published as well as with modifications. If you pitch a proper amount of yeast you will reach FG in less then two weeks. I have kegged in as little as 16 days and received 40+ scores. A "secondary" is absolutely unnecessary. My usual is 3...

With a fan and some wet towels you can get that 71 down into the 60s. Use the same recipe just substitute the lager yeast with a clean fermenting ale yeast. The result will be much tastier then fermenting at the wrong temp.

I am accepting all offers! I've already got 1 for free local beer and 1 trade offer for somebody's wife. I would prefer real money, original cost was over $250 I think

Well on that note, anyone interested in a ticket?

I bought an NHC ticket complete with banquet and can now no longer attend because of work. Anyone know if you can sell/transfer/give them away ??
