Just brewed this up today (partial mash). Had an OG of 1.06 which I thought was a little low? Used one vial of the WLP500 with a starter but the starter only had ~ 2hrs so it wasnt a real starter. Think Ill have any problems? Should I pick up another vial?

Lodo - did you steep anything?

Hurricane - thinking about brewing this up on Saturday because it looks delicious. What do you think about steeping a pound of Biscuit in there?

Can you post it here?

Well? How did it go?? I LOVE pretty much anything from Delirium. Let us know because I have an itch to brew this...

Just opened a bottle (7 days carbing, yes I know I didnt wait long enough). Lots of coffee on the finish with bitter chocolate upfront. For some reason I was expecting a little more sweetness. A little vanilla would certainly help. Overall, I like it.

How did this turn out?

After 4 months in the secondary, I bottled yesterday and ended up at 1.021 (down from 1.024 when moving from primary to secondary in December). Tasted pretty good but wasn't as thick as I would've thought. Ill wait for it to carb then take a taste!

I just moved from primary bucket to secondary carboy. I had a gravity of 1.024. I dont think I am going to go much lower than that and 1.070 to 1.024 puts me at 6.2% ABV. This tasted pretty good but I think it needs a month or so to condition. I will wait a few weeks then go to bottle. (i...

I was at 5 gallons. I added an extra .25lb of DME - so not THAT much. I am thinking maybe malto dextrine had something to do with it. Hydrometer is reading 1.000 with water so its good. I guess we will wait and see? I also noticed activity in my airlock after about 12hrs which is pretty...

Just brewed this up. had an OG reading of 1.07?! I went extract and was a little heavy with the DME. I also used malto dextrine instead of lactose. thoughts?

I was thinking the 1028? What are your thoughts?

I think this will be my next batch.

brewed up my second batch of this about a week ago. just bottled today. this was delicious the first time...with a little extra lactose and some orange peel might even be better the second!!! thanks op!! Zack

Hey y'all - I brewed this up on 4/4/09 and had an OG of 1.050. I took a gravity reading today (4/18/09) and got 1.016. Should I wait to keg? I have the carboy sitting in a tub of water so I can control the temperature...should I warm it up a bit? Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I will do the same.

I used DME - the color has gotten lighter with time. I used Mt Hood at 6% for my hops since thats all I had. Is that going to make this funky? I also used about .55-.6oz. I know there have been some serious debates on conditioning, but do Hefes not have to condition as long? I have never...

Just brewed 5gals. I was surprised that the color was on the darker side. I was going to ferment/condition for 2-3 weeks then keg/bottle and drink.

DB, let us know how it goes!

I would think if you anchor the bottles so they dont break, keep them out of sun light, and control temperatures you should be fine. How long is the trip going to take?
