Friend - the yeast may not work so well, etc. Maybe keep the cool plastic bottles? But, ditch the rest....

Interested in the answers you get here....bottled one RIS recently using a hydrated half-packet of Nottingham (for the same reasons as the common advice you mention in your post)...but recently bottled a Yeti RIS clone that used WLP-001. Skipped the additional yeast at bottling. Won't know how...

Nice. Was wondering why you didn't put the controller where it would be more visible, before I saw the grand plan!

Same thing happened to me with a similar recipe.....decided to pull a taste (awesome)...and repitched 1/2 packet of Nottingham, dissolved in 200 ml of wort. Went ahead and bottled it at 1.035....will know how it is around Thanksgiving...

2 gallons Malkore's (not so) Ancient Orange Mead...792 + 2 = 794.

OK - today I made the "tea" in a 1 L Erlenmeyer - boiled about 600 ML of beer after cold-crashing. I make 2.5 gallon batches, and so halved the ingredients posted by the OP. Dissolved 2 oz of priming sugar into the warm mixture, added the spices just as the dextrose was fully dissolved. Nota...

Nice score....looks like you got a couple of nice opaque ones there, too. I use flip tops for everything - so much easier. Usually replace the gaskets with these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111624217230?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

So, I'll be ready to cold crash and bottle next weekend. I made a 2.5 gallon batch, so for the spice tea, should I cut down on the ingredients, or just carry on with the amounts the OP recommends?

And taste better, too, without the 'twang.' MrZuckerkorn - hope you'll post a photo of the finished product...

Well, I think 3 weeks in the primary should be plenty, the way the WLP-001 was raging, but someone in the 58 pages on this post (read most of them) recommended 4 or 5 weeks in the bottle to let the flavors meld together...that, plus, would like to crack some of these in the weeks before...

Just brewed a 2.5 gallon batch of this last Sunday. Only hit 1.074 OG - maybe a function of BIAB mashing? Anyway, beautiful color, aroma, and taste going in to the primary. My starter (Wyeast 1056) didn't start - so, got one of those new WLP-001 sleeves at the last minute - it took off like a...
