Thoughts on Apollo? I've always been curious to do a Magnum smash.

I am enjoying it. The aroma is mostly pine and resin with a citrus undertone leaning towards grapefruit. The flavor is much the same. I was worried it would turn out catty with Apollo being 18.4% but it isn't at all. It's one of my favorite SMaSHs so far.

Sure:
10# pilsner malt (because they come in 10# bags)
4# 2 row
3#flaked rice
1# flaked corn
I think I went 1 oz saaz and 1 oz hallertau hops both @60 Around 10 IBU total
34/70 yeast
I did the same exact batch before with all rice and think the corn adds a little to the flavor and color..all rice was watery lookin

This is for a 12 gallon batch

You want 80% grain
20% rice/corn
Real simple real good

So what's the difference in flavor profile?

Updated thread yesterday. See post ##13.

Tldr: flavor is the same. Slightly thinner mouthfeel on warm batch. Would do warm ferment on mid-gravity beer again.

Düsseldorfer Altbier, kegged a month ago and tapped today. My best brew so far. The recipe is a variation of Jamil's Cowboy Alt in Brewing Classic Styles.

IPA with Equinox and Idaho 7. Amazing combo. Also had an interesting yeast blend of London Ale III, Conan, and WL 644. For all three being so non-flocculant, this flocculated quite a bit. No finings either. Looks like a NEIPA when you pour in the dregs, but I think I prefer it decanted off the bottle trub.

Really happy with this Imperial Stout. Easily the least understood style; especially considering its popularity. Probably the main reason I've pooched so many batches. Definitely makes it all the sweeter to finally reeaally nail one!

I was going to add coffee & coconut but the samples were so good I just went with a heavy dose of toasted coconut and DAMN does it taste good. It's like a chocolate-coconut milkshake I can't stop taking trips to the tapper

Here's a photo from the batch with the DanStar Munich yeast and Kazbek hops, taken 22 April 2017.

I'd like to point out that this beer was good - very good. It tasted like a true hefeweizen and the characteristics were exactly as described in the book. The Kazbek hops were nice as well, and if history is any indication, I expect them to come out just a bit more over the next few weeks. Having said that, I do slightly prefer this particular the original recipe at this time, but only by a little. The reason is that the original Centennial/Amarillo combination pack a serious :alpine" quality to this beer that can't be explained and must be experienced.

If anyone else gives this a try, let me know what you think of it!
