DC Area Group Buy #9

Going to try a hand at the AB clone?

I brewed a batch of AB yesterday, had to sub out the aroma....so we will see. It will still be beer, but a little different. I will try it with the Aroma on the next round.

I got you down for the sack of 2-row, but the CaraAroma was filled already. I can spare 5 pounds of my current 10.

Thanks for getting my grains on the list. I don't want to take half of your CA...I appreciate the offer. Maybe we can wait until it gets closer and see if another split opens up?

Or we could open a second split, which if you grab 10#, I will grab another 5#...

Your call.

That would work for me if that's for the group!

So let's do it! That would give me a total of 15#, which is what I wanted (gonna try it in a Dubbel). Now others can hop in some too for those Arrogant Bastard clones. That other split went in less than a day.

IslandLizzard....if you need to put the split under someone's name you can put it in my name.

Here's Redds current recipe in the CYBI thread.

However, I ran into a problem after brewing it a few weeks ago. The Chinook is almost non-existent in mine. Malt is good, but bitterness is lowish, and no hop flavor or aroma to speak of. Someone should take a good look at the listed hop quantities, maybe there's an error. I scaled mine to a 5.5 gallon batch, and it looked fine in Beersmith. The boil smelled fine. Maybe my hops are just not up to par very strange.

As long as you're willing to do the splitting , sure, we'll put them on for you. ==> Added.

Weren't you at our last Rice-hulk-of-the-year party?

Here's the other recipe that I've made twice. I think the recipe has been altered since I used it last. I was using 2 row, special B and carapils along with the chinook hops schedule. I never saw the other grains mentioned. I'll be adding 10% cararoma to the next try as Redskinsfan has suggested. This makes a really good beer but it's not a great clone yet.

I was! And I realized that I should use rice hulls more often as I do get partially stuck mashes. I will certainly help split it!

Oh, I'm sure that beer is good but it won't be an accurate clone with that malt bill. It's supposed to be a SMaSH. In the CYBI post I mentioned, reddskinnfan has gotten very close by dropping all specialty malts and just using 13.5% CaraAroma. I tried it with 12% in an effort to bring the color closer, but I find it a bit lacking at that level, so back to 13-13.5%. Besides, we yet have to be able to taste color.

Special B adds a raisin flavor, that isn't in the original. And although they'll make the beer nice and malty, those biscuit malts don't belong in there either.

It is possible Stone uses a custom kilned malt in the 135L range. They're not telling us everything.

It took 3 guys and nearly an hour to split those 2 bales, and they got a workout!

The hulls really help in sticky mashes that contain lots of wheat, rye, oats, pumpkin, etc. I put them in the mash from the beginning, but I heard others only add them right before they lauter. Not sure why.

Talking about the rice hulls - I found my shades in my bag of rice hulls! What are the odds....
