My shot at a Utopias clone

[humann_brewing]

Don't give him too much credit Sacc... he only knows it was going to be too many IBUs from his own... eh hem... experiment.

Hey... BTW... did PTN ever send you out a bottle of his U1? Since there is a decent chance I'm gonna run into you out in San Diego, I think we should convince Paul to donate a bottle of his famous U1 so I can bring it out there with me... and we can all bask in his Sistine Chapel of a beer glory.

I want to be there too

Wow that would be awesomeness. I'll have to dig through my cellar to see what I can find to offer up worthy in trade for such a fine specimen.

Why don't you bring the bottle down in your cellar, Brian? I won't see you before you go, but I'll replace it when you get back.

Wow... See??? Paul's not ALL bad.

I am also planning on bringing two bottles of The Awesomeness

We have a little tasting on our hands!

 

[paulthenurse]

You say that now.


I haven't replaced the bottle yet.

 

[Cape Brewing]

True...

So Sacc.. You should grab a bottle of the original U and I'll bring paul's so we can all do a side by side.

crap, sorry threadjack again. Sacc this is very interesting and will be nice to hear the outcome. I need to do another monster beer for aging.

 

[paulthenurse]

To continue the hijack for just a moment... Do you guys have a list of HBTers who will be there?

 

[Cape Brewing]

There is a thread going...

Sitting at 1.056, I racked it yesterday off of about 1" of lees in the secondary. I'll probably start the blending beer sometime in September (or later) once it cools off outside.

Any news?

 

[NJstout]

update?

 

[adamjackson]

I'd love to know how this is going. So inspiring. We're one year out.

I've still been contemplating brewing another batch of this as a blending batch at around 1.160 OG as mentioned in a previous post; the first batch is still undrinkable, even at 21% ABV it still tastes like bitter sugar water. Paul was also right about it being over-hopped so the second blending batch will be hopped very lightly. At least I learned from the first batch my process works flawlessly to produce a 21% beer; I similarly had no problems with my DFH 120 clone getting to 18% using KV-1116 as the secondary yeast following a similar feeding method.
