Wow! Thats a huge assemblage of gear. I'm not 100% sure I understand everything that is going on in this picture. Could you explain a bit about what is connecting to what? I'm guessing the black "KAF (?)" thing in the foreground is a vacuum pump? I think I can grok: * Blowoff cane hooked...

Just recently brewed a batch of this magic. I hopped it with Strata + Azacca. OG 1.072 and finished at 1.009. I let it sit for a few days to be sure FG had been reached since it is hard to get all those sugars into solution without any heat. I kegged this yesterday, burst carbonated it at 40...

Just tried this as a way to have an ultra-fast "brew day" in 93 degree heat. Getting all of the sugars dissolved isn't easy, and according to my Tilt I didn't finish the job (it is reading OG 1.056). I'm pretty sure the yeast will take care of whatever is not in solution, plus I can give the...

So far the all-Mosaic version I've made from this recipe has been my favorite as well. I have a BRU-1 iteration on tap right now that is lovely, and is giving off (at least to my tastebuds) some vanilla notes. This is nice, but still not as good as the Mosaic batch.

Great recipe. My batch turned out wonderfully. I skipped the Candi sugar addition, and used Cascade hops. This is it after a few weeks in the keg. I plan to try it to my nitro faucet once the porter on that line kicks.

Brewed this with Cascade hops, no Candi sugar, and pitched a starter made from WLP 565 slurry (thanks, Keith!). OG 1.065 FG 1.008. Pitched at 70F then pushed to 75F after one day. The blowoff activity on this batch was off the charts for 2-3 days, and according to my Tilt hydrometer I was...

This recipe is a personal favorite. It's simple and just so delicious. I have brewed it 3 times now: Simcoe, Azacca, and Mosaic. I have enjoyed each one, but the Mosaic version I'm drinking right now is something special. Highly recommended! I think I will try Strata in the next batch...

Sorry my reading comprehension is out the window. The base recipe gives me 60.6% 2-row, 32.1% MO and 7.3% 20L

All the way down to the same exact batch of hops? Maybe you got some with a bit higher AA% than your previous attempts? Unrelated: I just discovered the last bottle of this tucked in the back of my fridge, and enjoyed the heck out of it last night. I think this is the best beer I've ever...

Just cracked my first bottle of this and it is right up there with the best beers I've made. I pitched a 2L starter made from Conan slurry I'd harvested over 6 months ago. No worries about viability - this batch was at FG in just over a week and bottled after two. Really clean, fresh flavors...

Brewed this as my second full AG batch. Wow. What is an amazing recipe. Ths beer is far and away the best thing I've ever brewed. Aroma is sweet and fruity and the flavor is so clean and drinkable. Tastes like more. Thank you!
