Hey guys. Sorry I've been MIA on the forum since the last brewday. Bad news though, I won't be able to make this one on Saturday. I'll hopefully be in attendance at the next one.

Yes it can, as long as you ptich a healthy amount. WLP007 is a workhorse yeast that still gives nice British ale flavor and aromas.

20-25 SRM lands you about the color of a brown ale. not opaque. I've made the previous AB clone recipe from CYBI, the color was still about 22 SRM, and looked identical in a side by side comparison with the real AB.

Definitely contributes a nice complexity not easily found by using other malts. I find it doesn't have quite as strong a roasty note as reg. chocolate malt. I use about 2-5% in many of my darker brews.

Christ! I was just being facetious, that's hilarious though.

They said while typically you'd carbonate after the barrel aging, you could potentially make a cask ale. I didn't get the vibe he was 100% certain of this, so I would definitely keep the volumes of CO2 restrained (1.0-1.5 range).

If you're willing to part with it, I think I'm ready to conquer "Farmhouse Ales". I need to conjure up some Saison.

Ryan, just a friendly reminder to bring "Brew Like a Monk"

PM box is cleared out now. I ended up traveling to MdHB on sunday to get makings for next weekend and my oaked barleywine. Probably won't be heading down for a few more weeks now, but send me your # anyways.

Forgot to mention in my last post, my friend Juan will be joining me and Jen on Saturday. He's been brewing extract for a little while, but looking to break into AG. Hopefully he'll find the experience as enlightening as I did when first showing up. :D

I found out the hard way :drunk: I should've called before heading all the way out there. I drowned my disappointment about it by picking up an Aventinus and Trois Pistoles from beltway.

I'll have to check him out. I've been contemplating it for a little while now. Sounds like it's high time to make the switch.

F*%$ That! Guess I'll have to give my business to MdHB :p

Stefin, finally worked out the grist for my doppelbock and I'll need about 15# munich. Send me a price in a PM

I was just gifted one of these for my b-day and definitely excited to try it out. I've got an e-mail inquiry in to 1000 oaks about making a cask ale with it. I'll keep you all informed if they respond.

Can't you toss in a bottle of balsamic vinegar to get that flavor profile? :p

I still need to get that from you. Kind of slipped my mind when I was picking up bulk grain from you a few weeks ago. :drunk: I could still use it, if you've got more to spare. I'll get back to you with an exact quantity before brewday.

As epic as the glasses are, I'm gonna have to pass. I'm still brewing on a shoestring budget as is.

I've got 3-4 cases I could spare. They all have labels on them, hope that's not a deal breaker ;)

I use un-toasted flaked oats in my english bitters to help out creamy mouthfeel.
