So I should know tomorrow morning
Cape Brewing said:Contrary to how PTN makes it sound, this is a really easy beer to brew. All I did was create 11 gallons pf 1060 wort...
Nothing really difficult about it.
Cape Brewing said:So... I'm not sure how any of it was difficult and don't see why anyone couldn't do the exact same thing.... Unlike Paul's Sistine chapel/crayon comment.
What was saying is that my esteemed colleague, The Nurse, once imfamously told a fellow HBT'r that his attempt at making The Nurse's Utopias clone would be equal to "someone trying to paint the Sistine Chapel masterpieces with crayons".
Reality is, nothing he did on that beer or what I've done with this beer, is "difficult" in any way. If you can brew a 1060 AG batch, you can make either of the beers.
It is simply a matter of boil time.
I was shooting for an OG of 1200 and always planned on doing it in two batches. I short-armed the OG on the first batch because I never bothered to check gravity while I was boiling (something that isn't exactly "technically difficult"). I fixed the problem by just boiling longer on the second batch... Again.... not too difficult.
The beer stalled out on fermentation and as an experiment, I diluted it. Adding water wasn't hard. You just open bottled spring water and pour it in.
So... I'm not sure how any of it was difficult and don't see why anyone couldn't do the exact same thing.... Unlike Paul's Sistine chapel/crayon comment.
its getting close to a full year since brew day so its probably get close to bottle it for a few years. Even though its going to be still, i would still bottle it with co2 via beergun
deuce40 said:WOW! I just read through this whole thread. It only took me about three days all together but ive made it lol. I just started brewing and finished my second batch of beer, stone IPA clone about a month ago. This thread has taught me a lot about high ABV brews and also about brewing in general. Just wanted to share that with you.
I suggest using small quantities, unless you like drinking liquid smoke.Peated malt - new ingredient that sounds interesting to me. May one say attempt using this
My Barleywine reached 12.7% using Wyeast 1728. There are some yeast strains that can go much higher.White labs wlp099 - DIdnt know that abv as high as 12%. Could be reached with just yeast.
He's a source of entertainment alright...Paulthenurse - I sure he will be good for hours of entertainment while oh these forums
I keep thinking about jacking up an Apfelwein to the limit. I'm thinking about starting with apple juice and frozen concentrate and then feeding with concentrate as it gets going. Of course I would freeze it.

Yup. I threw a gallon of plain Apfelwein in the freezer this afternoon. That will give me a baseline of what to expect.
