You're probably right about C40, what would you recommend (if anything) in its stead? Should I go darker with an 80 to get a more raisiny note (as Jamil describes it)?

I brewed this beer last Saturday! I forgot to buy centennial, so I subbed some cascade mixed with a small amount of columbus. Hit my numbers almost exactly, OG wound up at 1.047. Still fermenting at 64 down in the chamber, I can't way to try it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Yeah I've never used muscovado before so I wasn't sure what to expect! You've used it? I read somewhere that it has a fairly large effect on flavor. Obviously experience trumps hearsay, I'd love to hear more about yours. I do not want to lighten the body too much, will all sugars do that? I was...

Entertaining the idea of a few things in a winter warmer recipe, and I am interested in hearing your thoughts! Here's the list: 8-10 % Muscovado Brown Sugar (partially refined, more molasses-like that traditional brown) 8-10% Flaked oats (mouthfeel) Specialty Malts: Special B, Crystal 40...

Thanks for the suggestion, I've actually been looking at spike brewing a bit, You certainly can't go wrong with welded fittings. I've been thinking about picking up one of the 80 qt. concord kettles they use and some weldless fittings from brewhardware, but by the time I finish with all that the...

I'm in! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm considering adding 3/4-1.25 lbs of flaked oats to this recipe and eliminating the ginger.. Maybe adding mucovado brown sugar in place of the honey. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I made it last year with Cali ale v and it was quite good. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Looking to buy a new BK. Will be doing 10 gal batches occasionally. Recommendations?

I'd be very interested in hearing the results of a split batch like this! Sidebar: I saw one recipe when I was researching Christmas ales that was based on a strong scotch, and the brewer put dried cherries in the first runnings before he reduced them. Something I've wanted to try for a while...

Coff, thanks for doing the work to clone this beer. I cannot wait to brew it.

I brewed permo's strong scotch ale recipe back in December. It was quite possibly the best beer I've brewed thus far. I've never used golden promise, so you may have a better idea of what you're trying to achieve with it, but Maris otter is an excellent choice for a base malt for this type of...

Just brewed the cottage house saison in the recipe database and used 565. I used a 1.4 liter stir plate starter. My OG was around 1.075, and I pitched at 68 & ramped up to 85 over the course of a couple days. Day 18 my gravity was stable at 1.003. I've read two opinions on this yeast, one where...

Drinkable I hope? I had a saison DuPont recently and it was pretty bubbly but also delicious. I never mentioned the beer I brewed it's cottage house saison in the recipes forum. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am not sure something is fooling me. I'll have to measure the real volume in my bottling bucket because it's one of those "7.9 gallon capacity!" marketed ones and could have the gradations labeled incorrectly. But my fermenter was definitely filled all the way up. Sent from my iPhone using...

Lol Emergency might have been a strong word. Thanks for all the help guys I went ahead and bottled. Used as many grolsch type and bombers as I could because they're supposedly rated for more co2. I lined a box with a trash bag just in case. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am currently bottling a saison and overestimated the volume of beer I would get. I prepared enough priming sugar for 2.9 volumes @ 5 gallons of beer and wound up with 4 gallons, so my carb level would be around 3.4 volumes. WILL I GET BOTTLE BOMBS? I have a keg handy and the beer is still...

Just wanted to thank the OP for the recipe. I brewed it yesterday, had a bit of trouble with mash temp, but hit all my gravity numbers exactly. Most of the time my mash was around 147. I had to adjust the recipe for the efficiency of my system ~70%. If anyone wants the figures for the...

Great advice. I waited a couple days and took another reading, the OG remains the same. I don't mind waiting 6 months or however long is needed if it will improve my beer. I've never used Brett before.. Maybe I can just siphon off a gallon as an earlier poster suggested and use that for Brett...

Thanks for the reply. Since this is my first time brewing the recipe, id like to see what flavors the yeast/hops imbue themselves before I start making additions. I will definitely keep in Mind the additions you mentioned, they sound delicious. Also, I will be assertive with carbonation. -C...
