Or you mashed a bit high.

You didn't taste it? That made me laugh, because sometimes I even refill my hydrometer test jar, just to drink another sample. I guess I have a thing for warm flat beer!
LAbrewer said:Might make this version next with "amber" malt. I couldn't get thomas fawcett though. Yesterday I noticed that my bottle of dfh60 in the fridge that I have been saving for a few weeks to compare with the clone has snow on the bottom. I wonder if it might be worth using it for this recipe.
Was just about to order a LB of Amarillo from Freshops but noticed the S&H was over $10. Seems pretty high for only a pound...

Yea unfortunately my LHBS has been out of stock for a while.

This beer is the real deal! By far the best I've made and better than the real thing.
Brewing an 8 gallon batch of this tomorrow. Adding in a touch of Palisades with the Amarillo and Simcoe and using WLP007 (Dry English Ale). Also had to sub Muntons Amber Grain (2L) for the Thomas Fawcett. Anyone ever used this grain? Hopefully it would be an acceptable replacement?? That is the only Amber Malt my LHBS had. Added in 8oz of Crystal 40 for color (think I could have gotten away with 4-6 oz. Hopefully will be pretty close to the real thing with the changes I am making. Very excited to be brewing. Been a few months!
On day 12 I will crash for 2 days
So I made this one on Sunday. I mashed in with 4.25 gal at 156F, and at 70 minutes and 154F I added 1 gallon of 180F water. Then I stirred, vorlaufed and drained followed by 3 gallons of the same pot of water (175ish). No science there just winging it. :fro:
I ended up with 1.060 and about 5.7 gal. I tried for 5.5. I'm actually happy with the gravity since I want it close to the original but I hope the hopping is going to work too. I added .4 oz warrior at 60 and .4 oz warrior to 35 since my AA was about 12% instead of the 16% in the recipe. It's been going strong at about 67 for the first 2 days and now down to 65 on day 3 where it will probably remain since I'm too cheap to run the heat higher during the day. I plan to dry hop in the primary on day 5 if the gravity is below 1.020. My goal is 1.014 but a few extra won't hurt either. On day 12 I will crash for 2 days and keg on day 14 at 40 psi for 3 days. I'll report back with the results.
kombat said:I'm planning on brewing this tomorrow. Is Caraamber an acceptable substitute for Thomas Fawcett amber malt?
I'd like to know this also.
I used the same for my brew yesterday. Color looks good....
Amber malt is kilned malted barley.
Crystal malt is roasted unmalted barley.
The question is where would cara-amber fall.
