The real one is on the left. The real one is clearer, has more aroma, more flavor and was more carbonated. I raised my pressure up 2 psi and I'll sample it again in a few days. Not sure if the carbonation level could throw everything off or not? I only have one bottle left so I'll sample it...

Did you use gelatin or anything else to fine the beer in the keg?

Sampled mine today. Gravity was a little high at 1.017. Recipe calls for 1.015. It's been fermenting for 5 days. Raised the temp of my fermentation chamber to 73F to see if I can get the gravity down a little more. The sample still tasted great. I'll let it sit at 73F for a couple days...

Looking for anyone who has brewed the Switchback Ale recipe in the new Brew Your Own Big Book of Homebrewing? It's a great beer from Burlington, VT.

How did your clone of Switchback turn out?

I agree looks great. Be sure to post a picture from your batch.

I'll be brewing in a few days and I'm using WLP001 yeast. Not sure about starting it out at 62F and letting it ramp to 68F. White Labs says optimum temp is 68-73F. I have a chamber so it's easy to control my temperature. Any thoughts on fermentation temperature? I'm leaning towards just...

Looking forward to tasting notes.

I'm brewing Recipe #1 hopefully the middle of next week. My HBS owner said he had a Crisp Crystal 60 so that's what I'm using. I'm going to use "Fast Pitch" from Northern Brewer for the yeast starter. I've never used it before so hopefully it works as advertised.

I also would like to know more about those casters.

Just recently discovered Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Unfortunately it will soon not be available so I did some searching for clone recipes. I did find a good amount of information on the beer. Below are two recipes I found. Recipe #1 closely matches what Steve Dreseler from Sierra Nevada...

That would be awesome. Thanks! I'll take a look at some of your resent videos. I have to really start getting serious about learning this system it's not much longer before mine shows up.

Sounds interesting, can you take a picture of your basement setup? Or do you already have a video of your cleanup process?

I'm getting the non-PLC version. If anyone has pictures of their electrical hookups I would appreciate seeing them.

Thanks for the link I ordered some. Now I have to start planning the electrical hookup.

Still waiting for my 25 gal "Down Under" should be getting it mid February :). Looking for recommendations on the tubing to buy and how much I'll need?

I have a "Down Under" on order. What would you have done differently besides the touchscreen? I didn't go with the touchscreen, I like the simplicity of manual controls.

What is the latest version of the recipe? Thinking of brewing this again.

Awesome! I'm waiting patiently for my "Down Under".
