Time for a resurrection of this thread! Anybody figure out ST's secret sauce? I recently picked up a couple of four packs and it seems pretty tasty this year, perhaps a bit boozy but still better than last years in my opinion. Anyways, it reminded me of my past failed attempts at recreating...

Truth. My latest 1.070 "Memorial Day" IPA went as follows: 1.00 oz Warrior - Boil 60.0 min 1.25 oz Mosaic - Boil 10.0 min 1.25 oz Nelson Sauvin - Boil 10.0 min 1.25 oz Mosaic - Boil 5.0 min 1.25 oz Nelson Sauvin - Boil 5.0 min 1.15 oz El Dorado - Boil 5.0 min 1.50 oz Nelson Sauvin -...

Have had great success with this one in the past. Today I'm giving it a shot substituting 2 row with some Fawcett Pearl! First time using Pearl as well.

I did a Surly Furious clone with 8.5 oz of dry hops once. Not only do I feel it was completely unnecessary, I swear it gave it an unwanted sweetness.

Wow, I seen your post! Now I'm really confused as the real Sucks seems a bit sweeter than mine :drunk:

Just a little update on the batch I brewed (post 83). OG:1.078 FG:1.017 ABV: 8.1% Kegged on 3/8. Sucks is on the left, mine on the right. Sorta close on the SRM. Though, if I hadn't thrown in that little bit of C60, it'd be even closer I think. Mine still has yet to fully clear, and to...

My Heady attempt turned out to be phenol city. Very peppery, enough so to mostly dominate all the hops. I fermented at 63/64.

I was 31. Wish I had started earlier, but I suppose there wasn't much incentive seeing I drank light beer throughout most of my 20's :o

I've got 4 kegs. I've found there's not much sense in having more than two with an IPA in. I just can't drink them fast enough before they start to fall off. So I try to have a stout in fall/winter, wheat in spring, and also a sessionable blonde or cream ale in one of them. Also a pumpkin ale in...

It's hard to pick a favorite, but here's a darn good one I brewed last summer inspired by Surly Abrasive. 10 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) 4 lbs Golden Promise (Simpsons) 1 lbs Oats, Golden Naked (Simpsons) 12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L 1.00 oz Citra [14.10 %] - First Wort 1 lbs Corn Sugar...

Yeah I just kind of threw this recipe together on a spur of the moment type thing based on the malts and hops they use, and what I had on hand. I only added the crystal because I had a little that I figured I'd burn up and to add a touch more color. Subbed Galaxy for 342 because that's what I...

Gave this one a shot today with what I have on hand. Here's what I did. My Nuggets are a few years old so I adjusted the alpha levels. Also threw in some C60 because I had a little bit laying around, and also wanted to add a little color. Did a 30 minute hopstand at 175. I believe Beersmith...

I ordered a pound earlier today from Yakima Valley Hops for $17, but it looks like they're sold out as of right now. http://www.yakimavalleyhops.com/product_p/hopsadhaazacca1.htm The description sounds awesome: fresh citrus, orange, grapefruit, lemon, piney, spicy, pineapple, full, tropical...

I too, love this beer. It's a monster, I would think you'd have to add at least twice as many hops as that for late additions and dry hop.

That about looks like the least infected beer I've ever seen.

Well folks, I subbed biscuit malt for Vienna. I now have the perfect showcase beer for biscuit malt.

Yup, everything in original recipe plus a pound of flaked oats scaled up to 1.063 in beersmith. Highest FG I could get was 1.017 with a mash temp of 157/158.

Brewed this up today, the wort smelled phenominal from start to finish. The FG numbers from Original recipe didn't add up in beersmith so I mashed at 157. Also wanted it a little bigger so, OG: 1.063, expected FG: 1.017. Didn't have immediate access to Denny's so I pitched some Nottingham. Also...

According to one of my hardcore Coors Light buddies, everything I drink is either foreign, weird, dark, and/or nasty. He comes to this conclusion just by looking at it. Whether it's Lagunitas Little Sumpin, Surly Furious, or Bells Expedition. Don't matter. It's all crap. I don't even try to...
