Notes

if your like me and love hops just add an ounce of Cascade to your keg, let it slow carbonate for a 3 or 4 days then take it out and enjoy a great beer!

Adjust your caramel 60L and shoot for an SRM of 8.

Too hoppy at 55.92 just try the cascade. the safale is the best yeast for all around brewing and very cost effective. Cave men brewed beer its not that technical

Thanks, error was adding the whirlpool % and it incorrectly added too many ibu's, the beer doesn't taste bitter even if using a whirlpool method at 0

Hi about to make this. New Brewer here only my second all grain. Just curious, what is the best way to increase the temperature for the mash-out rest without adding any water (assuming that since there is no volume listed under the amount column'. Also would I be ok to just skip the mash-out?

Yep, pretty tasty stuff. I'm still kicking myself for just making a half batch -- won't make that mistake next time.

Made this twice now. It will be one of my standards. I'll tweak it to my liking.

Tweaked this a little for my setup, but it turned out just excellent! Did a 5 gal. keg with the dry hops and put another 3/4 of a gal in a 1.75 gal keg to not waste any beer. The beer from the little keg is good, but the dry hopped version was really transformed. This will be a go-to recipe in the future!

Really nice recipe. Even though I messed it up a bit by going way over the OG, it still tasted reminiscent of the original.

Wonderful grapefruit and bitterness. Brewed way higher OG than expected (1.062) using a 6 gallon target and a 7 gallon boil. FG 1.012.

Anyone try to culture the yeast from a bottle of the Sierra Nevada product and brew this? ;^)

First time homebrewing and have currently got this recipe fermenting. In relation to the dry hopping, is it best to transfer this to a keg once it's finished fermenting, then dry hop for 4 days?
