I brewed my first batch of this beer today using the recipe on the first page of the thread.
I have been using a new kettle, and I only evaporate off .5 gallon per hour instead of the 1 gallon per hour I was hoping for, so I ended up with ~6.5 gallons at 1.080 using three lbs of the d-180 instead of 5.5 gallons at 1.090 using 2.5 lbs of the d-180.
Also had to move 3/4 oz of each the mid and late hop addition to the 60 minute addition so that I could hit the IBU target from the recipe.
I expect that all will be well though. Has anyone tried this brew at four months into aging?
What's your fermentation schedule look like?
It's good after a few weeks or so, but certainly improves with bulk aging.
