Don't tempt me! :tank: Should be pouring my first pint of this brew this time next week... super stoked. Fermentation went great, already done, now just rounding off the 3-week primary. Saturday gonna put "half" in a 2.5 gal keg, the rest in bottles.

Just started my second time at this beer on the 7th. Still following the extract recipe 100%. Got a little high on temperature for like ten minutes when steeping the crystal malt, but it seemed to be OK flavor wise. Wife made the caramel for me this time, so I'm sure it'll taste better ;)

Just started a batch of this last Saturday (Oct. 7). A little late for summer, but I'm weird like that. Probably the quickest I've seen bubbles come out of the airlock. Rattling off within a few hours of pitching yeast.

Not him, but I ended up aging half a batch for just about 2.5 months. Honestly didn't change the beer super overtly, though it was generally more mellow and smooth. The only thing I noticed was possibly more of a fruity, plum-like taste. It was enough of a difference that I feel confident...

I've been on the higher side of 2.5 ; I'd agree about the 'refreshing/springy' sentiment.

Sounds awesome! Keep posted... Drinking "a" pint of this still (it counts as just one pint if you never empty the glass, right? Just keep topping it up?)

I tried this experiment, kinda, with my ~5.5 gallon batch. I made the full batch with the original 0.5 lb of lactose. At time of bottling, I added 0.25 lb of lactose to half of the batch (equivalent of using 1.0 lb of lactose for the whole batch). The 1 lb / 5 gal batch is very good. It's my...

Second syrup looks great! Pretty burgundy!

Just kegged this last week, tried my first sample the other night. Really tastes great. Description is pretty accurate. Very inoffensive; I imagine it'll be popular with even the non-craft crowd.

Just sampled a bottle after about 4 weeks to carb/condition. Tastes great! This one was from my "double lactose" half of the recipe. It was very lactose-sweet and had that thick feel in the mouth. I actually think the original recipe will be more to my taste... Gonna try one of those bottles...

Just bottled mine up last night! Things went well. I did half with the original recipe. Added lactose to the other half to be the equivalent of making the recipe with a full pound. Curious to taste the difference after a month or so of carbing/conditioning... Even the hydro sample I took...

Thanks for the recipe! I can't believe how long the talk has been going on this one :mug: I got this one going last weekend, fourth batch of beer made! Excited to have it ready, theoretically, by St. Patty's. Fingers crossed!
