First time brewing this beer, just tapped the keg. Thanks Yooper for an awesome beer! Mine came out to about 6.5%, couldn't be happier. Will definitely be brewing this again. I added my dry hops on day 4, left it in for about 7 days. Cold crashed for a couple days, tapped it on day 14.

We just started kegging kombucha. I got tired of bottling/carbing individual bottles. Perfect use for my 3 gallon kegs just gathering dust! I have a regulator just for the kombucha, I did the 36 hr at 30, then 10 psi. Like others said a bit too foamy. I'll try lowering to 5 on my next batch...

Great article! One question, when you used the Jaded Hydra, did you stir the hot water or agitate it in any way?

thanks for this info!! I am deciding on which way to go for ordering.

I brewed this recently and everyone enjoyed it! Compared to the real thing, its pretty darn close in my opinion. Thanks for a great recipe, this will definitely be added to my round up! Forgot to add that I stuck to the original recipe, but with no dry hop additions

Aloha Lukadog! Have you heard of HOPS? Its the local homebrewclub. They have regular meetings, in fact there is one this Saturday in Makakilo. They can be emailed at [email protected]. Several of us get together every now and then here in Mililani. We are due for another get together...

Here you go, BierMuncher's is tried and true: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/kona-fire-rock-pale-ale-ag-clone-52220/ I've made this one several times with excellent results. I have never tried them side by side though.

jgln: I prefer not to use the grass skirts, they catch on fire. A loincloth is much better. capitalasspig: Glad your beers came out great! I have never filtered any of my beers yet, so far I have been pleased with using gelatin to help clear out the beer

Welcome from Mililani!

I Finally finished reading through all the postings. I now know what I am going to use all those Cascades I ordered from hopsdirect on!! Can't wait to try this recipe.

Update: Ok, 4 days later I took another gravity reading and it is still at 1.030. It's safe to say that it is not the yeast's fault. I am thinking maybe my thermometer is innacurate. This batch called for a mash at 156 degrees. Maybe I was higher and created too much unfermentable sugars?
