Use either yeast! It’s great either way. Actually I would suggest trying both with a double batch. I have brewed this recipe several times and it remains my favorite clone of any PALE ALE or IPA for that matter. Absolutely the best recipe I have ever found. Love It Love it Love it

Monday nite was one of those bucket list beer nights. Four friends gathered to share some blue chip brews. Up first was a bottle of Samichlaus Helles from Austria, hazy dull yellow caramel color with a pronounced taste of Belgium candy 14% quite sweet. Second was Samichlaus Classic. Poured clear...

Expanding my options and exploring the nuances of creative brewing methodology. I had the medium gravity 6 gal batch fermenting for 21 days and have always popped the lid and dry hopped after active fermentation. This time I thought I would dry hop in a clean secondary for 5 days. A couple...

Thanks for the info concerning fermentation temp comparisons. It validates my recent 6 gal batch outcome. I had to loan one of my refrigerators to my daughter. This resulted in me having to hijack my ferm chamber/chest freezer for food. I brewed a version of the incredible Zombie Dust Clone and...

Well said , thx haze

cudos This really is a somewhat easy recipe for what yields an exceptional ale. I am yet to have the real deal 3F commercial version. If it’s any better, there should be a brewery dedicated to this pallet pleaser.

Has anyone had an opportunity to utilize this grain as of yet. I am preparing to brew a stout and thinking about trying a couple oz in the grain bill. Thanks in advance! Sevenal

Let it ferment a month cold crash and rack. repeat. Then bottle it and see if it gets some funky floaters back.

You want red, white, or pink. Think about it. Wanna shake up the old recipe try White with a couple cranberry concentrate or go all white then make Skeeter Pee on the must. Have fun, drink responsibly and let your pallet dictate your next adventure. Oh and you might add on of the acidic...

I have a brown ale that is about done. It is essentially my stout recipe where I back off the black grains which makes a medium brown color ale with great mouth feal and a little malt forward. My hops selections have come from trial and error. FWH are .4 oz Amarillo, .5 oz Nugget, & 1 oz Kent...

I would think this would make a really nice ice cold Arnold Palmer and still come in at around 4 to 5 % ABV. sounds good on a hot afternoon. The tart cherry addition sounds really good to me. I have some gallon jugs around so I think I'll mix the one gallon batch. That cherry juice is really...

I really like cranberry and tart cherry. What form? concentrate or juice? What volume do you use to 5 gal of SP? I know it is a trial and error thing. And when do you add it? During the ferment or after it is finished and stablized. Thanks for any consideration.

Changing this up this weekend to a Red /12cans / raisins in later. Same process and this time the cake will make another Lemon Wine or what is called Skeeter Pee / Hard Lemonaide. blush version

Since this is essentially Lemon Wine, I prefer to ferment at 70 degrees or slightly above that. My SP was done in 4 weeks. I racked to another carboy and cold crashed. I did stabilize but the wife prefers it sweet and others like it dry. We just make a simple syrup according to taste, making it...

I brewed this ZD again today. I put somewhat of a twist on the method part. I used the exact grain bill and the same hop schedule. I swamped the sparge with 7 gallons of And got a total boil of 8 gallons. My purpose for this was to facilitate a 120 minute boil. I got mad efficiency 1.075 and...

Down to our last gallon of SP so I better get a wine started to have a good healthy yeast cake. I think I'll start with a grape concentrate wine and add a bottle of cranberry extract 4oz. In a month I'll rack and bottle the wine then make the Skeeter Pee concoction let it rest over night...

Thinking about making my second batch of this phenom on monday. I plan to make a full 5 gal and even though I could keg it, I'll bottle the FFF for long term bottle conditioning. I say long term, because I devoured it last year before it reached peak. 3oz Citra for Dry Hop for 5 days in...

I originally posted this as a comment in a Hop Tea thread but was hoping for some commentary, as I have enjoyed experimenting with these flavor additives. I was not the originator of this process and do not claim to be. It is however simply ingenious. Found this on the net Digging it a lot...

Found this on the net Digging it a lot One oz hops (I like the bittering Varities) more grapefruit taste. The aroma hops leave me with floral experience Anyway one oz hop in a French press Add 2 cups of vodka( I like the lemon Burnetts ) Let stand for 20 minutes Press into a small neck...
