Thanks, but are there no measurements for the extras you added? Have you tried a side by side comparison with this recipe?

 

[raceskier]

I use 5.2 per directions (1 Tbsp/5 gal) in the mash, 1 Whirfloc and 1/2 tsp yeast nutrient 5 to 15 min from the end of boil and a tiny amount (1/8 tsp?) KMS in the mash.

I've actually never had the original, just needed to make a keg of easy drinking beer for some BMC swilling friends. It went over well.

Anyone have an update recipe for this? I noticed on their site they say they use Columbus and Willamette (no simcoe)

 

[KozHops]

I think this beer is going away but I'm not positive. The last time I had this beer (Sept) it reminded me of Fat Tire, I'm not sure if they changed the recipe or not but it was the first time I thought that.

Was at the brewery Thursday; they confirmed that they no longer bottle this beer. Is no longer on the brewing schedule either.



Sooooo... anybody got a minimash/extract variety for this? I'm not set up for full grain yet...

edit: Found the original BYO article online at http://***********/stories/issue/ar...ogfish-head-brewing-co-shelter-pale-ale-clone - has extract instructions there. doesn't look hard..

A minor update. they are still making the shelter but they only sell it in kegs. DFH Alehouse has it on tap and will happily fill growlers.
