Drank a ton of this 30 some odd years ago out of returnable bottles.
Still visit it every once in a while.

"You can travel the world over and never find a better beer"

Looking forward to see how it turns out for you.

 

[Schlenkerla]

OK - I'll let you know. All kegs are full right now. Need to get busy emptying them.

 

[deere322]

You going extract or AG?

I'm thinking I might do an AG. Gotta beersmith it first.

 

[Schlenkerla]

I'm an AG'r but out of pale malt and don't normally buy pilsner, so I opted for extract, full boil until I get another 50lb bag a pale malt.

 

[Schlenkerla]

My recipe is in the hyperlink first thread post.

Fermenting with both yeasts at the same time at 68deg? Or is the idea "pick one of you're making an ale, pick the other if you're lagering" kind of thing?

Also, what's the benefit of the 90 minute boil, if it's all LME? Does it just allow you to get more AA from the hops, keeping overall batch cost down?

No, its pick one yeast. I was playing with the attenuation for ABV

As for the 90 minute boil I was also trying to split the hops into two batches and bump the IBU.

I was making tweaks for the style guidelines.

I did it for 60 minutes and picked US-05.

 

[Schlenkerla]

I just fixed it .....per your comments.

I lifted this recipe from Homebrewing For Dummies. Its Marty Nachel's recipe for Dortmunder Special Export.

 

[deere322]

Here's what I've come up with for this on Beersmith with grain and yeast I have on hand. now to head to the LHBS for hops.

Speciale Export
8 lbs 13.6 oz Maris Otter (Crisp) (4.0 SRM) Grain 1 89.8 %
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 15L (15.0 SRM) Grain 2 10.2 %
0.50 oz Perle [8.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 3 16.4 IBUs
0.50 oz Tettnang (Tettnang Tettnager) [5.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4 10.3 IBUs
0.50 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh [2.70 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 5 1.1 IBUs
1.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) [50.28 ml]
Mash at 150 for 60

Est Original Gravity: 1.048 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.009 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.1 %
Bitterness: 27.8 IBUs
Est Color: 6.4 SRM

My lower level stays at a constant 59-62 degrees so this should work out well during fermentation.
Critiques please, btw.

Brewed this today with Golden Promise instead of MO and 10 instead of 15.
It's chugging away right now.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Sounds Good! :rockin:

I'm ready to keg mine, I hope can get to it by the middle of next week. I have two beers to keg. One to brew next week.

 

[deere322]

Ended up with 1.055 OG on the second batch on my new 70 qt. mash tun.
First was Fuller's London Porter clone. Both done today.

I like Fuller's Pride. [Edit also like Porter] Also like Speckled Hen.

This is what I am going to keg next week too. Patriot Ale 2

 

[Schlenkerla]

I still haven't got my 50lbs of Pale Malt...

... so I have to fill the pipe line with PM and Extract Brews. I do full boils so i'm ok with going this route for a little bit.

I picked up a 55lb sack of Golden Promise recently after running low on MO.
The Export has partial GP and the last of the MO.

Let me know how the Patriot turns out. I have 4 oz of homegrown Mt. Hood burning a hole in my freezer.

Few too many is never a problem unless you are driving or you have two beers this size.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Its Wednesday already and I have blown-foam out of two taps this week. Today's is a snow day, might at well get cracking at getting my two beers into the cans.
