What were your findings with this? What type of beer were you putting these into ? Cheers

One of my favorite commercial Hefe's is brewed at Gordon Biersch. I had a chance this last fall to sit down with the head (Yeast Wrangler) "Brewer" and talk about his Hefe. He gave me all sorts of advice including under-pitching to cause stress in the yeast.( Or just not using a starter...

A local brewpub close to me claimed that they used a low amount of flour about 1% in their mash tun. They claimed all purpose flour, rather than wheat. Here is a list of the ingredients on the side of all purpose flour; BLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR, MALTED BARLEY FLOUR (IMPROVES YEAST...

Thanks OP, brewed it as well currently crashing it! Anybody have advice on how much priming sugar they added during bottling? Thanks again!

So to add on to this question, what about temperatures???? If my beer is nice and cold and carbonated, if I bottle it and warm it back up on a shelf for a few weeks don't I run the risk of waking up yeast and creating a bottle bomb?

Right, boiling the hop for less time decreases the isomerization that is going on with that alpha acid, so longer the boil time more = higher IBU. With 14 pounds of grain and Cascade = 5.5%, Amarillo = 9.2% I've got an IBU of 41.7. Which is very much on the low end of any IPA, but dead nuts...

Give me the alpha acid % of your hops and I'll plug it into Beersmith for you to see where you end up with the IBU's. I've read somewhere that dropping cascade in for 60 will impart some different flavors than you may be going for. Thanks - :mug:

I'm brewing one this weekend as well, and I'm going with the Single Infusion 149 @ 60. 3 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) Bel (3.0 SRM) Grain 1 30.0 % 3 lbs Wheat - White Malt (Briess) (2.3 SRM) Grain 2 30.0 % 1 lbs 8.0 oz Caramunich Malt (56.0 SRM) Grain 3 15.0 % 1 lbs 8.0 oz Vienna Malt (Briess)...

These take time, unfortunately years to have a viable Alpha Acid content for using in beer. Stick with it, it's a solid setup and you should have some cones come September. These are mine it their third year, you can see how much they've spread out over time. ( Picture taken about a week ago...

Do you have any updates on how this turned out mashed out lower than 154?

I recently came across an optional step in a fantastic recipe for a Westvleteren 12 Clone. This step worked very well for me, but also got me thinking about utilizing in other recipes. Here is the optional step pulled from the recipe as written by "CSI"...

I love a good Kolsch "Permo" so I used your grain bill for a 5 gallon batch. Different hops that I had used with an extract recipe previously but very similar alpha acid %. Also I love the Wyeast strain of 2565 rather than the WLP. 10 LB's Breiss 2 Row .5 LB White Wheat .5 Munich Malt...

I like the "taking what I'm given approach" to brewing as well. It's more of a natural way to call for the beers that you'll most likely be desiring in those conditions as well. ( Most of the time)! Good read, thank you. Cheers!

Any updates on this? Notes or changes made? I also don't know what the OP (From the e-mail) meant by flavor strike. Any comments? Thanks

I love pictures of "No Photography" signs! So much cool science here thanks for the article.

Mine is still currently kegged. It has an good guava taste to it, but I think it loses or glosses over the bitterness. I shouldn't have messed around with such a light addition so early. I wish I would have kept everything the same except maybe a full ounce of say... Warrior for the first...

These are fantastic, and a great article to point someone to that's new to brewing. So guilty of having a few beers while brewing..... did I put in the Amarillo yet???????

Chalk that up to a learning experience because it is a bit harsh, and adding the guava to the secondary didn't give me the taste or the aroma I was looking for. So I kinda went 0/2 in trying to replicate The Freedom of '78, but I learned something. My recent trip to Shorts Brewing ( 1st...

Sorry to be so many years late to the thread guys, but any movement on these clones???? My fiance and I had Golden Monkey and The DirtWolf while on Mackinac Island last week and they both blew our minds! I will keep looking on here, but thought I could ask you guys with experience...

So I went ahead and brewed this with a Double Decoction mash - 131 - 20 Minutes 142 - 20 Minutes 152 - 60 minutes Here are my changes, the brew store didn't have the same hop selection, but it was fun to swap a few. Although, my Alpha Acid % are a bit higher than OP's. It's only 6...
