All recipes are 6 gallons post-boil (6 gallons post boil > 5.5 gallons in the fermenter > 5 gallons in bottling bucket/keg), 70% efficiency, Morey for color, 15% evaporation, 7.27 gallons preboil, Rager IBU, and most hops are in grams not ounces. Most, if not all recipes are primary only (no secondary).

If you brew this, please reply with your results.

The italicized portion below is directly copied from Doc's forum poston TBN forum.

Thanks to all for listening! And thanks to Tasty and Jamil for having the confidence in me to let me brew it for the show. I loved the challenge. I think that's what made it so fun to brew.

Sorry that I couldn't remember during the show which hops I'd used. I changed the hop variety from crystal in the original recipe, ( which was the copy that I was holding at the time) because I couldn't source them and changed it to Liberty. I used Liberty because Crystal is a half-sister of Mt. Hood and Liberty. Though as we discussed, Being just one hop charge @ 60min, almost anything would be an adequate substitution. (Just stay away from the really citrusy varieties.)

Long mash due to the large amount of corn, with a rest at 122F

Looking at my notes, I did raise the ferment temp from 60-64F for a diacetyl rest.

So if you have friends that drink only pale yellow beers, give this a try.

Here's the recipe:

Doc recommends using rice hulls due to the large amount of corn. He used 1 lb of rice hulls for 21 gallons. Make sure grain is mixed before doughing in to prevent a large amount of corn in one part of the mash.
 
Was there ever an episode on this? I searched through the archives and couldn't find a show on this beer.

Well, I didn't make all of the info up :)

It was one of the first episodes.
