Jamil has never done a bad recipe ( well, at least all the ones I've tried are fantastic!). Never tried this one, but it's seems to be a nice hoppy amber.

Found a six pack of this last night, and it is pretty damn good. Maybe english malts and hop bursting used? The bitterness was smooth, and tasted malty to me. The_Bird, you're right, it is a nice darker amber color. very good beer

Trub? Sure it's not krausen? That happen sometime. It's happen to me a few times without any problems. That being said, make sure you take the airlock off and either put a blowoff tube on the fermentator or clean and resanitize the airlock and sitck it back on. A clogged airlock can cuase a...

looks like the "total into mash" is the sparge minus any lost in the deadspace. The "Total from mash" is your initial mash water minus the absorbtion. The amount "into kettle" are those two numbers plus any topoff minus any misc lost water.
I would add the amount lost to the grain back...
the " grain absorbtion" box has how much the grain will absorb. Just take that number and boil that amount then add it to the mash for the mash out. Of course that assuming your grain absorbtion is set correctly. mines about .1 gal/lbs

No, there's no non-lager version. I was assuming he was asking for a way to make it w/ an Ale yeast since he doesnt have a way to control fermentation temps.

The propagator is the one with the "lessor" amount of yeast right? Sometimes it just takes a while for it to take off. I took a testube of frozen wyeast 1469 out of the freezer on Friday and wanted to brew this weekend, but it took a long time for it to take off. I started w/ a 50mL wort and...
