It’s Alive!

After a 2 year break from the hobby Ive jumped back in. Fired up my equipment waking up my keezer, cold crashing a Pale right now. It’s good to be back.

Welcome back, brew on

Huzzah! What's next on your brew list?

Pappers, I’ll be attempting the Arrogant bastard for the 2nd time. My first time brewing it was using Tasty & Jamils recipe, it came out way to sweet and looked more like a cloudy amber.
I’m surprised that there are no recent discussions about “The Bastard”

Here's a recipe for it from the HBT recipe database https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/arrogant-bastard-clone.71867/

Yes there are!
Here's a long thread on the Can You Brew It version with plenty of tweaks and variations:

It may be helpful reading the first few pages, then browsing backward from the end for recent findings and updates.

I've brewed it a few times, using slightly different takes, learning from past results, but always came up short on bittering and overall hop sensation, and a bit under-attenuated (too sweet).

I haven't brewed it in over 4 years, so now you mention it, it's time to revisit, using late additions and long whirlpool/hopstands at reduced temps (ala IPAs and NEIPAs) rather than just late and flameout additions. Perhaps a dry hop too. It's supposed to be 100% Chinook...

Welcome back to brewing!
