06.06.06 We should start planning now....

[uglygoat]

which page is the final recipe on? i'll brew one up in a few weekends.

the eidenburg ale yeast is a great yeast, if that's the one for the recipe.

 

[rewster451]

Has anyone actually brewed this yet? I plan on brewing it on 666 rather than drinking it then, just because there's no way for me to have it ready on time.

 

[Daneaux]

Just got the ingredients today. I was suprised my local HBS had everything except the yeast. Gonna use Wyeast german ale instead. I will brew tuesday although I agree with Dude and want to use his suggested Yeast but will do like rewster and do that one on 060606. I wonder what the difference will be? I will let everyone know.

 

[Tony]

Im going to make my starter tonight, and will be brewing Sunday!

 

[Pumbaa]

I'm gonna have to put it off until June

There is just no way I can get it going soon enuff to have it ready by 6/6/6 so I'll just brew it then

 

[budbo]

How long will this beast need to age?

 

[deranged_hermit]

what is the Wyeast equivalent to the White Labs Edinburgh Ale yeast? I have never used White Labs yeast, and am not really interested in screwing up this batch. Also, i'd like to get all my ingredients from austinhomebrew.com because of the free shipping. but they dont have all the specific ingredients. would hop pellets be a good substitute for whole hops? also, there are few of the malts that i cannot find, and getting everything in one stop would be most beneficial.

I cannot find the following grains:
8.7 1.00 lbs. Smoked(Bamberg) Germany 1.037 9 (steep)
8.7 1.00 lbs. Rye Malt America 1.030 4 (steep)

and could only find these as possible substitutes:

http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_21_71_112&products_id=116
The first is a smoked german grain, the other is a rye malt, but instead of american, it is german.

Finally, could this be a replacement for the White Labs Edinburgh Ale Yeast?:
http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=233
It is a scottish ale yeast like the edinburgh... but i dont know enough about yeast strains to compare two different kinds. I figured two scottish ale yeasts would be very similar in style.

I'm sorry if i'm straying too far from the original recipe. I would really like to get all of this ordered by the end of the week so that i can brew after spring break and have it all ready in time. Any and all suggestions will be kindly taken.

Bump for Revvy.

 

[Mustangj]

Don't call it a comeback!!

 

[Revvy]

Thanks! It looks tasty....So who brewed it and how was it?

Just WHAT was it? Seems to me it's a super mutt beer, and a potent one.

 

[Orfy]

There is a update thread somewhere.

 

[Mustangj]

I don't want to look through all 22 pages.

Dose anyone have the recipe?

 

[Orfy]

Yes it's in this thread.

Do you want some one else to look through it.

 

[Chriso]

HAHA Mustang, I just read through the entire thread, but now my eyes hurt too much to go back and find the final recipe! Have fun readin'!

Edit: Yeah yeah I'm lookin' for it, I just wanted to tease you.

LOL....I was 28 hrs strait when I posted that.

Thanks for the recipe

 

[RichBrewer]

I have been thinking about this for quite some time now and I'm thinking about making it again.
Hands down my version of this was the best beer I have ever brewed. Unfortunately I can't find the recipe that I used. I'm sure it was very close to Dude's version but I had to substitute hops I think.
The beer had distinct whisky or scotch tones and was very well balanced. This was a beer that got better as it aged. It was at its best 6 or 8 months after bottling.

I might try a 3 gallon batch just to see how it turns out as I have limited space in our apartment for brewing.

Dude, where ever you are, thanks once again for this epoch HBT beer!

I didn't make that beer, but I made a few others (like the 7-7-7). I remember you saying that your 666 was great but I don't think I tried it.

Some HBTrs brewed 07-07-07 for the 2007 homebrew conference here in Denver. I don't remember the details but mine was served from the keg and I think brewpastor's was served through a Randall. Both good beers but the Randall made the beer very grassy by my taste. wish you could have been there Yooper. We really had a great time that year.

 

[magno]

How's this for a blast from the past?!

I've been making variations on this beer most years for my birthday. Drinking one right now in fact. It is one of the best beers that I have made, especially so on tap.

This year's batch came out to 9.3% (hence the half pint pour). It's a kick in the pants, but super smooth. The honey and the oak are both very present, but distinct.

Is anyone still around on this site from the original recipe formulation?

 

[Yooper]

I "talk" to Dude on Facebook- he's brewing today as a matter of fact.

I "talk" to Walker as well, but he doesn't brew anymore as far as I know.

I haven't seen Pumbaa since about 2009(?) when we had a beer together in Milwaukee.

RichBrewer pops in and out now and then, as I recall.

I've lost touch with the rest of them.
