I'd like to get one !

Sounds awesome, I think i'll be brewing this with those additions next week!

I purchased a bottle of Buckeye Brewing Black IPA, and it was way over-carbed. I could not even pour or drink it. I contacted Buckeye, and they stated that it was due to the store/distributor getting the beer too warm. They also offered to replace it, plus more for the trouble, and ended up...

I seen about 6 cases of it last week at the Giant Eagle Market District @ Robinson (by Ikea)

Quick, easy, perfect fills each time!

I brewed this a few weeks back and kegged it last week. I made the spice tea, and added it when I transferred to the secondary. I pulled a sample from the keg and it's awesome.

Thanks Logdrum. (btw, i see you're in NEO as well...) I'm brewing a slightly modified version of the e-mott-n-stein. I think it'll rock! http://hopville.com/recipe/867831/imperial-ipa-recipes/mids-monster Any thoughts? My only debate is S-04 vs. S-05.

What do you think you lost? I'm thinking of trying an extract version of this? How close was the hop profile? What would you change? Cheers!

Initially I thought so as well, but the impact will be minimal since I'm only steeping it. BTW, I've been following your Zombie Dust thread...look great!

I actually brewed this tonight. I've modified the recipe a bit, it's posted below. My Buddy thought it looked good so we did a 10 gallon batch. I just tossed it in the Primary...so i'll let you know how it goes. Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Batch Size: 10.00 gal...

Count me in!

You need to soak it in white vinegar to clean before the first use. Check out How to Brew for additional details.
