I've had Marshall only once. I'd say from memory it's a different beer. This come off much more chocolaty and roast. Marshall is richer. Almost a soy saucy element to marshal that for some reason come off pleasant.
I cold pressed kona coffee into a batch and had really good results. I'm thinking you can do just about anything to the base recipe and it will hold up.
Sorry I meant to say that I used both of those yeasts separately on the batches. I don't think you have to worry about that esters coming through on 04. I have used it on lighter with success.
Just wanted to give a shout out to Corey. I bought my Hosehead in November and started using it in January. Had a bunch issues with the kettles not firing webpage not updating, ect... Figured it was user error but after about 6 batches under my belt things were not getting better. Contacted...
I used safale-04 and Thames Valley and the last batch with the recipe from post 30. Both English strains. They seem to both match well. I would say Thames Valley may provide a nicer mouth feel but I did do different recipes... Nothing bad at all coming from the beer. I had a 5 month old...
I have brewed the version on post 1 and now post 30. post 1 twice. Both are very sold RIS recipes. Post 30 came out closer to Huna. I dropped my estimated efficiency down 10% when brewing the last beer because I noticed a drop of efficiency when I brew big beers. I hit my numbers and was...
I wouldn't worry about it. I had a RIS finish at 1.048 once. People dug how thick and sweet it ended up. Brewed the same beer and it finished at 1.035 and people say "it's much thinner than the last time". Taste it, If you like it drink it.
Dry hops are a must imo. On a home brew level for a few bucks you can drop a few ounces in a batch. First impression of your beer is the aroma. I kill it with hops. I believe it adds nice flavor also. Try funky gold mosaic from prarie. It's a dry hopped sour. Incredible
The mix of Nelson and citra is magical. I let it sit for 48 hours and kegged this morning. Did a quick shake carb and drank tonight. It's dank. Has the smell of marijuana. Love it
