Brewing my 6th or 7th batch of this beer today (it never lasts long) -- NCBeernut thx for sharing such a truly enjoyable brew, I get more compliments on this one than on anything else I brew ...

AB was actually out of 1084 so I got London III instead ... should be interesting !!! Grains are mashing right now ...

I still make this using Maris Otter and 1084 Irish Ale yeast ... truly the best beer I have on tap, never lasts long!! I also use Galena at FWH. In fact I'm picking up this stuff today from American Brewmaster in Raleigh to brew tomorrow !! Here are my ingredients for the partial mash version...

Ok so looks like I can get the enclosure from Allied, what size is recommended? I think this one is 7"x7"x3.5" (roughly): http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=5001820#tab=Specs

Where did you get your control box from?

Indeed, very nice !!

It's quite good at six weeks, but if you have the will power to let it age for 3+ months, it is well worth the wait ... this beer smooths and mellows quite well with age, while still retaining it's earthy coffee-like robustness.

Follow the recipe !!!! Seriously, I keep this kegged and on tap at my house at all times ... this is an incredible beer and fits the style very well. Beersmith has me coming in a 29 IBUs, but I tweaked the recipe just slightly for partial mash, marris otter, etc... see my previous posts.

!!WARNING !! If you brew this stout be prepared to drink it!!! Keg is tapped out after only 2 weeks, and 80% of that was drank by me !! Went to AB yesterday, brewing this again this afternoon !!

Layne, this is the stuff that dreams are made of :-) I was actually in Gonzales/St. Amant for Christmas, I should have swung by and taken the tour !!

Just thought I would share some pics of this stout in action. Just click the left and right arrow to go through all 4 photos ... http://picasaweb.google.com/jeremysavoy/Beer#5425990059014257666

Go for it .... fermentation was mild with 1084 at a near constant 63 degrees.

I used 1084 Irish Ale yeast ... http://www.wyeastlab.com/hb_yeaststrain_detail.cfm?ID=6

You could always set up a blowoff hose from the carboy into the ale pale, instead of using an air lock in a bung. For what it's worth ... I didn't have much krausen with this stout at all and did not need a blowoff tube, granted I was using a 6G carboy, but the level of the wort did not really...

Roger that! I've got a plan though, I have several spare kegs and plan to start a pipeline of this stout .... one keg on tap, one near ready to be on tap for when I kick this keg, and one just started to age, keep that rolling through ... that should keep my tap flowing !!! :mug:
