You obviously weren’t that drunk if you wrote it all down? Jesus what were you thinking.

10 cinnamon sticks!......... 10! 9 is obviously the magic number, other than that the recipe is golden. You doing it again?

This will be a fun topic! I haven't been brewing long, but mine would have to be my first batch. My friend was teaching me how to brew and we threw together a two gallon frankenbeer with his spare ingredients.

I don't have the quantities, but it included:

Amber LME
Black Patton
1 oz Centenniel Hops (.5 / .25 / .25)
A butt-ton of molasses
A big scoop of brown sugar
US-05 Dry Yeast

OG was somewhere around 1.080. It went into two 1-gallon carboys and had burst through the locks the next morning. This was sometime in early May. I just tried it this past weekend. Tasted like Brown Sugar Cinnamon PopTarts!

I'm addicted to Pop-Tarts. I must try this.

Good luck! I always have trouble figuring out what a butt-ton is exactly. I think he's using that damn metric system or something. All the kids are these days.

Trust me when i say, Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts would have been a TREAT, think of the most Bitter Foul tasting substance you can, Not the good well hopped IPA bitter, oh no, the rank,harsh Biting kinda bitter that makes you want to cut off your tongue and scrub it with a Brillo pad hoping to get rid of that foul rancid bitter taste!

Ha Vance if you could have gotten that stuff down you, with 50g of Epsom salts your liver would have turned inside out and you'd have crapped yourself to death, lucky it was undrinkable.

Oh yeah, considering it was outside pretty much any style guideline, I think it turned out rather well. With a few tweaks (waaay too hoppy) it might even be pretty good.

I'll have to see if I can get those numbers from my friend.
