Looking forward to using it. Any non-IPA uses that you would suggest? I would like to use it on a lower gravity beer before doing a Heady-inspired clone. I was thinking Amber, Blonde, or Wheat.

I think it'd be great in pretty much any beer where you wanted a fruity yeast character. An American wheat might be nice. Pale or amber ale too. It'd also work great in some English styles, judging by the fruitiness. Couple things, it attenuates like a beast; I've gotten 80%+ both times I've used it, near 85% last time. It also loves to stay up in suspension; cold crash and/or secondary will get it to drop, but it takes it's sweet time. Also, it has a distinct tropical fruit ester profile, so keep that in mind when coming up with a recipe. :mug:

Oh, also, BearFlavoredAles (blog site) has a lot of good info on this yeast. It's written by a member here, othellomcbane, who's also a big contributor on the Heady Clone thread. He's done quite a few different styles with Conan and has posted the results on his blog. Definitely worth checking out.

Thanks. I forgot about BearFlavored's site. I was leaning towards an all Amarillo wheat (a Gumballhead-ish clone), and , unless BearFlavored tells me otherwise, that will probably be the direction I go.

Huge win. Especially when you consider what it took to get 4 cans to Indiana.

Nice bottle opener. I'm not really into B-ball anymore, but I sure was a few decades ago. I was a big Knicks fan, still hate the bulls because of it. Starks for three!

Drinking a bloody beer, contemplating if I should brew again today.

WesleyS · Apr 7, 2013

Getting some ribs ready to cook.

And trying to finish off all of this that I got from my sister.

Can't go wrong with this one.

Spraentart · Apr 7, 2013

Wow, this is good at $5 a bomber.

Edit: I've got a 6 pk of Hopslam left over as well if someone is interested in a trade.

At karbach for the pro-am awards ceremony drinking a barn burn saison. Sadly I know I didn't win or moved on to the next round so time to change the recipe!! Version 3 coming soon

Ridire · Apr 7, 2013

About an hour from home; a 1,300 mile trek. As soon as I'm settled in, I'll be opening the first properly conditioned, carbed and cooled bottle of my first attempt at an IPA.

That's a shame. I'm sure it was a tough competition to judge.
How is the Barn Burner? I haven't tried it yet.

WesleyS · Apr 7, 2013

Drinking one of TNGabe's Saisons.
Not a high level of what you would consider Belgian/Saison/Farmhouse aroma from the yeast.
Nice and dry, medium-light body.
And I'm getting a minty bubblegum flavor in this.
Overall pretty good. I like it.

krduckman · Apr 7, 2013

Back to the drawing board. Not very good. Oh well, I'll just drink it all really fast to free up bottles for a revised IPA.
