My AB clone, which is DAMN close, is ready!
I need to enter this beer into a comp!
Has anyone opened a CaraAroma split? If so, I'll take 10# if it's available. If not, open me a split!

15% and it's almost spot on! The only thing that needs to change is the bittering hops and maybe a little less CaraAroma (12-13%, instead of 15%).

Which is yours, the lighter one or the darker one?

Mine is the darker one.
In thinking about it too, since the Hop aroma/flavor is about right on, it might be a gypsum addition to help with bitterness.

Added.
Good to hear your AB is getting so close. I'll brew mine with your suggestions.
Yeah, I had opened one. 10# for you, added.

I always add gypsum when brewing this beer, and I think my hop aroma and flavor are spot on. Cutting back the CaraAroma will also lighten it a bit as yours is a bit dark. I also toss in some carapils to get better head retention. I guess I should actually put all this into Beersmith instead of doing it by rote...
I have some fresh AB so whenever you get a chance, sling me a bottle and I will do a side by side or even a triangle test...
Any CaraAroma left on this buy? The sheet says 15 lbs, so if so close it. I will take the last 15.
The last 15# is yours. One split done.

Yeah, gypsum will get it there, probably, with the existing hop schedule. The head retention will be fine. That bottle was only carbed for one week and was only in fridge for one day before tasting it. In another week it will have plenty head.
I might drop the CaraAroma to 12% to get color down a little more, as I think dropping to 10% would have too much effect on color and flavor.
Most likely in. Just need to figure out my next few batches so I know what to order

Any idea of the pick-up date so I can make arrangements? If I can make it work I'm in.

August or Sept is about all I could guess right now. Probably best to wait until near the end if you are unsure...

man already I still have my full sack in my garage. i guess i need to get rolling
August is a very busy month with lots of events again, such as MASHOUT! (8/14-17) and Labor Day weekend tacking right on at the end. I have the feeling it's going to be either the beginning of August or more realistically, the middle of September or later.
We're also not gathering a lot of whole sacks right now either.

Who was it at the last buy who brought the Marzen, IPA, and another beer; all or most of which had won awards? Just got to the IPA and am absolutely loving it!! Need recipe!!
For anyone not familiar with the awesomeness that is MASHOUT, check out
campmashout.com
Under new management this year with a fine new website.
one thing i'm unclear about: do folks brew at mashout? or is it more camping, drinking and eating? if they do brew, is electricity available (for the pumps)? what's the water situation, for cooling?
There's no brewing except for the occasional special event. It's all about homebrew, (with some killer pro stuff, too) food, music, camping, having a blast with other homebrewers, hiking, bike riding, and new this year, water activities in the Potomac.
No electricity except for a generator for the band on Friday night. No running water. Fairly rustic camping.
I've been going for years and it is always the highlight of my summer.

I love beer, camping, food, and good times. This Mashout looks like a lot of fun. Timing this year is horrible though and i wont be able to make it. I wont be doing anything but ill be just getting back from a 2 week vacation and the wife will veto this Mashout camp trip.
In the future, keep the middle of August clear. It is always held then. Got to have your priorities straight.[emoji6]

I have the same problem with attending Mashout. My company always has our annual client conference at the same time and I have to be in Chicago all week..... I hope to attend one day!
Ha! i have no control over my vacation this year. Going to be in Alaska for a wedding and some fishing for a week, then immediately after, were going to OBX for a family beach trip. Gonna be more like a family reunion that we do annually. 10 bed room house on the beach with around 25 people. both these trips i did not pick the dates.
In case y'all missed it, there's another giveaway that's not being promoted so much. A chance to win a plastic conical.

Enjoying a Lemon Pepper Saison!
Made from 2-Row, Rye and Vienna Malts. Turbinado sugar addition. Hopped with Sorachi Ace. Lemon zest and cracked green peppercorn in boil. Belgian Saison I yeast to cap it off.
Prost!

Now it's on to the Arrogant Bastard clone. This beer is phenominal! So close to the real thing, just slightly darker and a little less bitter (forgot the gypsum addition in boil).
Cheers!

What questions do you have? It didn't stick, and I never use rice huls. It's smoker than I expected. Was still kinda flat when I left for hillbilly land. The new style guides say it should be clear.... And mine was uber hazy.
If anyone wants to stop bye mad taste it on mondy, I'm sure I can be of assistance.
