Kegged up my second batch. It's delicious. FG came in at 1.010 so I got about 5% ABV. Not bad. Will be making this in the future for sure.

Thinking of brewing this up tomorrow. Got a couple questions. Could I use cascade or williamette hops for this? I saw somewhere earlier in the thread that someone used cascade but they never said how it turned out. But I have both in the freezer at home and would like to use em up. And could I...

Looking to save some money on a couple glass carboys. If anyone has any for sale let me know! Living in southern Massachusetts.

I ended up with a 1.055 OG. I think it is something I'm doing wrong with my mash. Or my set up has really bad efficiency. I am thinking of trying to compensate with a bit more grain and batch sparging. I usually fly sparge which I thought was more efficient. I just got beer smith so I will...

Brewing this up tomorrow. Will be my 2nd go at it. First one came out amazing so I'm looking forward to it. Results to follow.

I would like to get on too. I go to BCC for school so I would love if I could grab one of these from you.

Better bottles available? I live in Mass and I'm very interested.

I've actually picked up those ingredients in preparation for trying this myself. Through some research I found clove is used also. But if he said only those 2 he obviously knows better. Very interested to hear how you make out. I will post also if I come up with something.

I did add the Amylase for 7 days. I ended up kegging it last night. Still delicious and potent enough for me!

A week later and still 1.010. Anything else I can do to help up the abvs? edit. If there is nothing more I can do, would it matter if I kegged it for tomorrow? It tastes really good but I don't wanna mess with it if it has a chance of getting better.

Yeah I think you're right about the grain. I think I fudged my mash a bit. I added about 4 gallons instead of the 2 it calls for. I was worried it wasn't enough water. I dunno if that makes a big difference or not. I ended up with less than 5 gallons actually, which I thought would help me out...

Just transferred to secondary. 1.010 before adding amalyse. OG was 1.020, low compared to the recipe. I'm expecting low abv which sucks. About 3%, assuming a good 2ndary ferment. It started action 45 mins after the transfer. Tastes amazing though. Me and my cousin both enjoyed the sample...

Can anyone convert this to AG?

Mine is the same way. Lots of hop up front with a feint after taste. I have no issue with it though. Delicious beer.

Amazing
