thanks everyone :)

anyone else have ideas about this? I'm about to buy the ingredients :)

Thanks HB, those sound like good tips. ANyone else have any thoughts?

Any idea of how to start would be awesome.. anyone?

Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to experiment with it, but I'm not very good at feeling out what to start with.

I'm really into the pretty things barleywine but am not sure where to start in the cloning process. On the pretty things site (http://www.prettythingsbeertoday.com/wp/our-beers/our-finest-regards/) it says it let's the barley flavor stand out and includes this info: Beer Style: Seasonal...

thanks everyone!

Thanks for the info. Are there any major beers that use these hops so I can get an idea of their flavors?

Hey folks - I'm looking at Rebel Brewer's website, where I get most of my grain etc. They are doing a promo with cheap (ish) hops from NZ. Anyone ever brew with any of these? Any recipe ideas for good clones or beers that use these hops? I haven't brewed with, or heard of, most of these so...

Thanks folks :)

Not sure how much water is needed - I'll have to do some calcs later. I can only ferment 6 since it's in a 6.5 tub. I don't have a way to introduce pure oxygen - I could do a bubbler or something but I would imagine that would introduce some nasty stuff to the fermenter. Not sure why the...

This was a full boil recipe. I had about 7 gallons and was expecting to lose 1 to bring me down to six during the boil. Now I'm just above 5 with the crazy OG. Should I shoot for the Raging ***** levels (probably needs at least a gallon) or just add up to 6 and have a strong one? I'm assuming...

I made a FLying Dog - Raging ***** clone but ended up with a little over 5 gallons rather than the 6 i was shooting for. I didn't realize so much would boil off - I lost probably over two gallons but it's a pretty wide pot so that could be why. OG reads at 1.1 (yipes) so I'm wondering if I...

Yeah, they use a different yeast, grain and hops in that. I ended up using the Belgian and the hop schedule listed here and the grains from that recipe :) Anyone have any ideas about the high OG issue i'm having? (two posts up)

I made this clone but ended up with a little over 5 gallons rather than 6. OG reads at 1.1 (yipes) so I'm wondering if I should water down the fermenter so they yeast can manage the sugar load without going over the alcohol limit. (I'd still like to bottle condition.. haha) Does this...

Cool, will do :) I'll post back in a bit to let you know how it went.

Trying to decide between this recipe which people seem to think gets good results and this one: http://hopville.com/recipe/1239281 which is supposed to be from flying dog Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Cool, thanks! I'll try it out today hopefully.

I have a hennepin clone in secondary (has been there for almost 2 months). It finished fermenting somewhat slowly (high ABV) around a month ago. I used a culture of actual ommegang yeast, which seemed to ferment everything very well, but I'm worried that it won't have enough umph to completely...

Oh huh, I didn't know that they used the same yeast for all of them. Have you tried yours yet? I keep going back and forth one whether or not harvesting is the way to go, given the risk that I'd just be harvesting a bottling yeast rather than their fermenting yeast. Let me know how yours turns out!
