getting ready to brew this again. Cant find Nelson at a decent price gonna try using Galaxy instead

IMO southern cross is an underated hop in the recipe. About a year ago Alpine was doing variations of Nelson recipe. Keeping the Southern Cross but subbing out Nelson, with Galaxy , Green Bullet. Galaxy version was amazing and the best GF brewed version of Nelson. Green bullet a bit underwhelming

ive brewed an Alpine clone, twice with rye malt( the kind that looks like sunflower seed kernels), both times have gotten a beer that is pretty damn close to the original if not better! ~ 20% of the grain bill

i used regular non flaked rye, and milled it with the rest of the grain bill. had no problems.

@jammin do you wanna swap homebrews? i am interested in trying your Alpine Nelson Clone. I just kegged mine and bottled a couple bombers last weekend!

I yielded about 9.5 gal. But my fermenter only can fit 8.5gal, I did an experiment with remaining 1 gal , if that makes sense now.

It was an 8.5 gal batch I used a starter of white labs American ale and a packet of Safale US Ale . You can download a trial of beersmith software. Punch in the recipe and scale it down to your 5 gal batch size. I would probably just divide the dry hopping by 2 and call it a day. BIAB will...

excuse the lamp, but color was pretty damn close to original nelson, a slight more haze, but negligible , the ~20% rye grain bill will contribute to the cloudiness

I drink Nelson fairly often, i live about a 2 hr drive from Alpine. I have brewed the following recipe on two occasions and it is right on the money. It was from the now defunt hopville website. I sent a couple of bottles of the first batch to the original poster and he thought it was right on...

I brewed an all grain Munich dunkel based on jamils recipe back in October 2011. It was a good beer scored 38 at a local comp in so cal in dec. I ran out of keg space and let it sit at room temp for about 3 months, I tasted it for the first time since then last night, and it developed a...

Hasl anyone brewed Old Draft Dodger Barleywine? It is a massive barleywine. My starting gravity is 1.130, I pitched a 1 liter starter with white labs 007. it has been in primary for about 14 days, and gravity is 1.052 Target final gravity should be 1.032. I was wondering if i should...
