Nobody? Guess I will have to go it alone then.

Reviving this thread. Has anyone tried brewing a Raging Bitch clone recently? Would love to try my hand at it.

Love it. Nice work.

Chocolate nips.... LOL

Could I get that recipe please? Would like to try this next summer when the pepper harvest comes around.

OK, I'll give that a whirl. Thanks for the suggestion. If it turns out good, I will bring a couple bottles to the next BA get-together for you to try.

What up, Keffa? So you think I should flip-flop the first two hop additions?

Thanks dstar. I did read that thread but thought it was a bit outdated and could use freshening up. I did enjoy your comments and pics though.

Will be brewing this one next week. Any thoughts/suggestions/critiques? FLOWER POWER CLONE RECIPE OG = 1.079 FG = 1.021 Color = 6 SRM (yellow to gold) IBU = 78.3 ABV = 7.7 % FERMENTABLES 89% 8.5 lb Pilsen Light DME 11% 1 lb Honey Malt Batch size: 5.0 gallons HOPS...

Did you try using a different glass, and rinsing the glass out with cold water before pouring the beer? Maybe that glass just had soap residue in it. I would try that before jumping to any conclusions about the beer itself.

Not terrible, but not great either. CrookedTail was right about the honey malt being a crucial ingredient. If I brew this one again, it will be more in line with his original recipe. I used the zest from two small oranges at the end of the boil, but it wasn't all that noticeable in the end. I...

I was leaning toward the Nugget and Warrior as well. What about combining the two at the 60 minute mark? Is a half ounce at 60 mins really enough of a bittering addition for this recipe? And to jfr111, it wasn't that I disliked the Cascade for bittering necessarily. In face, SWMBO really...

OK, so I brewed an all-Cascade rye pale ale and was pleased with the result, but I think it would benefit from a different bittering hop profile. I have the following on hand and would like to use some combination of them so I don't have to buy any. a. Nugget (1/2 oz) b. Sorachi Ace (1/2 oz)...

It's being bottled!

Do not boil coffee beans, it will give the beer an acrid taste. If you want to use whole beans, add them to the secondary as a "dry-hop." I have read that star anise gives a licorice flavor. Not sure how to use it, though.

Thanks guys. I figured I was doing something wrong. In my excitement, I have a tendency to push it in too far too fast. :ban:

Did a search for this and came up empty. My apologies if this has been discussed before. I have a hell of a time getting my airlock pulled out of the hole in the lid of my primary bucket. I have even cracked the lid by pulling on the airlock so hard. Am I just pushing the airlock in too...

No reason to think it has not been tested. It's just that in the research I have done, the general concensus is that oats should be mashed, not steeped.

Yeah I thought that was a bit peculiar as well. OK thanks for all the suggestions. I'll report back with my findings.

Thanks again PT. I did my first minimash a few weeks ago and you're right, it wasn't that difficult. I may try to mash just the oats and base malt together. So my question now is, how should I account for the base malt addition? Do I need to remove some of the DME or LME from the recipe? If so...
