Would make a nice addition. I'm in!

@doug293cz Yes, certainly most West Coast/American style IPAs are dry hopped these days, but not all. Keep in mind we brewed this in late May for a Sep/Oct release. Any dry hops added would have dissipated over this period of time. Also keep in mind that SN ONLY uses whole cone hops which are...

Jukas, thank you for posting this recipe. I just pulled a sample from a batch I kegged a week ago and it is absolutely delicious. The Simcoe certainly does shine, but the malt is very balanced. I didn't follow the recipe exactly but close enough. I added 4 oz of left over Carafoam (Dextrin...

@JordanKnudson Yes, "boondoggle" is the word originally used in the draft submitted. Looks like auto correct changed it when it got transferred to HTML. Along with a few other minor tweaks. Glad you all enjoy the article. Certainly was a great experience. I hear the Beer Geek or "VIP" tours...

Hey Jayway: GMTA! I'm thinking of fabricating some out of stainless now, too. Lots of inspiration in this thread...

I appreciate forum discussions with lots of constructive ideas and support. I, too, have struggled with maintaining mash temps in my 5 Gal Gott MLT, but I am starting to realize/wonder that my anxiety to maintain mash temp over 60 min is born more from my competitive nature and tendency to...

Brewed this up yesterday and I'm looking forward to see how it turns out. I'ld like to thank all the posters who offered constructive feedback. While there is some "spirited" debate over what is the exact recipe, my perspective and approach to cloning a beer is this: As an amateur...

Sorry for your loss Packers Fans. Almost had it. As a Niner's fan, I hate to see the Hawks advance. I'm sure they'll have a tough time playing against Belicheat's flat balls in two weeks. Anyway... Is there any reason not to DH and carb at room temp (say 60-65*). Wouldn't you just up...

In. Thanks.

I use Beersmith 2.0 along with Bru'N water for adjustments. These tools are fantastic, but I'm a stickler for details and recording info, so I found it's quicker and easier for me to record my brew day data on one spreadsheet rather than on the BS2.0 print out or laptop/Ipad while brewing. I...

Happy to report that entry was easy at the bar and the beers are even better fresh from the source. Thanks to everyone for their replies. Oh, and if you think RRBC beers are great, try one after riding 103 miles. Closest you'll come to heaven on earth.

Headed to Santa Rosa today for a bike race. Will have some extra time this afternoon and was thinking of stopping by RR, but I've heard lines to get in can be ridiculous. While PtE and PtY are great, not willing to wait 4-5 hours in line, plus there will be 7500+ cyclists in town, and surely...

Yes Please, and Thank you!

Have you considered using Honey Malt? It will be difficult to fine tune your OG prior to brewing as sugar content of honey can vary and not all of the sugars are fermentable. I accidentally used 1lb of honey malt instead of 1/4lb in a Kolsch. While not overpowering, it definitely has honey...

That makes more sense. Thanks for confirming. I'm still wondering where the haze comes from, especially with their use of finings. Originally I was thinking they used flaked wheat. Anyway, looking forward to what you come up with. This beer ranks right up there with the best of them.

I am fortunate enough to have Nelson on tap at a local restaurant and am a huge fan of the beer. I am also very interested to see how your recipe turns out. Anyone care to comment on their use of Whirlfloc? The oats will create a significant protein haze, and in fact the final product is...

Thanks to Spike Brewing for supporting HBT and donating the conical. I'm in!

in!

Some bubbles...(Sorry, had to take a few sips first....)
