Did you ever attempt your Centennial Clone? I'd be very interested to hear how it went and what specific recipe you used. Thanks!

Finally got my hands on a few Bloody Beers this year. GOOD STUFF! If you've never had it, give it a try! You might be pleasantly surprised.

I just couldn't wait any longer. Especially, with all the Oktoberfest and Harvest Style beers already on the shelves. This beer is great! Flat out, great! I will brew this again and again and again. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.

This beer is relesed in September. I'll be drinking some.

I've batch sparged with a braid 4 times this year so far with this recipe...all have been magnificent. No problem with your plan whatsoever. Go for it! And yes, I use a higher qt/lb ratio when doing decoctions. For this recipe 2 qt/lb has worked great for me.

I am wondering the same thing?

You won't be disappointed, this recipe is top notch. We've drank 20 gallons of this so far in 2012.

What recipe did you use for your base beer?

UPDATE- This batch turned out excellent. The best batch of Oberon I have made yet! Go figure...

Well, I just brewed the OP's recipe with one minor change. I went with a single decoction instead of a double. I rested the mash at 133F 20 minutes, withdrew my decoction, boiled for 10 minutes, then added decoction back to main mash and rested at 150F for 60 minutes. I then batched...

Was this the double decoction or the single infusion you mentioned on the previous page? I know i am a bit late, but i really want to brew an Oktoberfest and I have been comparing this one to Yooper's and I think I want to brew this one. I have done DD in the past and it sure takes some...

Tap Handles Tail Pieces for Shanks Keg Lube Insulation for Collar- unless you already added it into Wood/Finishing

When I make "fruit" beers, I always use fresh fruit either pureed or squeezed for the juice. I then put the fruit juice or puree into secondary and rack onto it once FG is reached. Of course, the fructose will kick start the yeast into more fermentation. Usually about two weeks in secondary...

You topped this off to 5 gallons, right? Or was this just a 2.5 gal batch?

Nice, thanks for the reply, good stuff!

Glad to hear all the positive comments. I'll update with any news. Right now it's still bubbling away in it's airlock.:mug:

Well, I finally got to experience a complete blow off. Brewed an Oberon clone yesterday and pitched Wyeast 1010 Amer. Wheat at about 4:00pm. This morning airlock was bubbling away like crazy, 3 or 4 bubbles per second. Looking back, pretty obvious a blow off tube was needed. I went to...

I just brewed this recipe again for the second time because it was SO good the first time around. I followed Crypto's latest version as I did before although this time i made some minor changes including The intentional one- single decoction done between protein rest and sac rest instead of...

A couple questions: How did you mount your CO2 distributor to the collar? Screws through the plastic and foam into the wood? possibly caulk? What power supply did you use for your bilge fan? I am assuming it is DC power?
