Dry hopped with 2 oz leaf hops and a boiled bag of marbles in an extra large herb ball. Gravity @ 1.010. Tastes great!

This beer is amazing. I will be serving it at my wedding. Thanks for posting! :mug:

+1 on the test

Brewing this this weekend, sounds fantastic.

Brewed and kegged. OG and FG were pretty much spot on. Used Wyeast 1007 German Ale. Definitely has a citrusy flavor to it, a little bitter. More 'yeasty' than the Kolsch yeast probably would have been. Someone mentioned similarities to sumpin sumpin early on in this thread, hopefully I can...

First batch, 5 weeks in and syphoning into the keg, only one word comes to mind at first sip, omigodthis****tastesamazing! Dumped another 5 gal and a couple lbs of honey on top of the yeast cake for round two.

Brewed this last night - 1.082 on the nose. Made some minor adjustments in hop addition times to nail the ~100 IBU mark. This is the first time I've dealt with 20+ lbs of grain ...wow. Also went with 6-6.5 gal into the primary (blow off tube definitely in place). Can't wait!

Mine was quite dark as well, much darker than expected for a wheat. OG was dead on. I'll be bottling this in the next few days, can't wait for a taste! Fermenting time was very short for this brew, but extremely vigorous for the first couple days. I used 0.5oz sweet orange peel instead of .25...

Good stuff. Brewed AG version yesterday, OG = 1.050. The mash schedule is spot on, I didn't have to tweak anything regarding H2O temp. I saved 1.2 quarts for kraeusening (first attempt at both spelling and technique). I will probably lager in the bottle cause I only have one carboy, and lots...

I was thinking the fridge for a lagering stage. It would be nice to result in some lager characteristics. So here's kind of a noob question: After I ferment in the primary for a week (~63F) and rack to a secondary for two weeks (~63F), can I lager the without a keg set up? Can you lager in...

Dude, Wy 1010 is a sulphur fart bomb! Caught me off gaurd (first wheat brew), and freaked out the roommates for sure.

Will be brewing this tomorrow, can't wait! There are at least a couple of success stories in this thread regarding higher fermentation temperatures. For primary and secondary mine will be between 63 - 72, depending on the weather (no T control). I do have a mini fridge I can ferment in, but...

I'm definitely going to go for it, with all Simcoe, this weekend. Yeah, can't wait any longer. My yeast starter will be a bit off as well - only have dark LME on hand (may alter the flavor just a tad). The original recipe will be brewed in due time, the more hoppy red beers in my fridge the...

Great, thanks!

Seems everyone is sold out of Amarillo. The outstanding reviews of this beer make me want to try the original recipe. I think I'll hold out for Amarillo, if I can find it. If not I'm sure the all Simcoe version will be tasty!
