Just ordered supplies for the original recipe here... I'll get to it sometime in October.
I'm doing a Double Bastard attempt this evening. I'm thinking about adding a pound of corn sugar. What would that do to the end product?
17lbs Maris Otter
1.5 lbs C120
.5lb melanoidin
1lb corn sugar (boil)
90 min boil
1.5 oz chinook 10.3%aa (FWH)
1.5 oz chinook 10.3%aa (60)
1 oz chinook 10.3%aa (30)
1 oz chinook 10.3%aa (10)
1 oz chinook 10.3% (2)
1 oz chinook 10.3% (dry hop)
US-05
Mash at 154 for 60 minutes
Should I forgo the corn sugar? I wanted to hit right around 1.100 at 70% efficiency, which is why I thought about sugar in the first place. But if it will really dry it out in the end and change the character significantly, I'll pass.
2 days ago, Bethany Sherwin the south regional rep for Stone did a presentation at FIU's graduate beer class.:rockin:
Believe it or not:
Stone REFUSES to use cascade hops in ANY beer.
They LOVE Columbus and use it frequently
Stone also uses many Pacific Northwest hops (American "C" hops)
They use pellet hops for kettle additions, whole hops for dry hopping
and more importantly Arrogant Bastard uses 2 grain varieties and 2 hop varieties!
My guess would be 2-row and 120 L Crystal, Columbus and another "C" hop
Ferment with WLP002
I wonder why they refuse to use Cascade? I stockpile the stuff.
The other hop used in AB is probably Chinook; that is the one everyone uses when cloning it now at least.
rmullins said:I'm going to be brewing this beer this weekend (hopefully the few ingredients I needed to order show up in time) and this will be my first time using a starter (Don't know why it has taken this long), so I am just looking for some verification (or corrections) if needed.
I'm brewing 10 Gallons using WLP007. Now using Mr.Malty's Calculator (I don't have the yeast yet so just using the default for the Viability %) with a Stir Plate I come up with a 2.31L starter using 2 vials of yeast. I only have a 2L flask, so I used the slider to set it to use a smaller starter. I come up with 3 vials in a 1.36L starter. Now obviously the best plan for the future would be to get myself a larger flask to handle a larger starter, but am I OK using 3 vials in a 1.36L starter? I'm not sure if thats too much yeast pitching into not enough wort or not.

Got a few questions about my Bastard batch. Any recommendations/comments if racking to a secondary is necessary? If so, how long? 1-2-3 method?
I'm also debating on dry hopping with some chinook which of I would do in the secondary. Any thoughts? If I do, when should I drop it in and for how long? Use a muslin bag for the dry hop?
I know there is plenty of info out there on these questions but I was looking for advice on this specific brew. I would appreciate any feedback gentlemen!
So I have not read through this whole thread, but I know a lot of people look for extract recipes of this beer. I have to be honest this is arguably the closest clone I have ever done, so I figured I would post it for someone if they want to use it. I did it side by side with the originally, walked out of the room had my wife mix up the glasses and I could not tell a difference at all. Here it is

Quite a few people have. Read through this thread as well as perform a search and you will find many discussions on the AHS recipe.
