Anybody make the Oberon kit from Bell's?

[CanAm]

I found the ingredients for the Oberon kit from the Bell's Brewing store here:

Curious about the hop schedule. Has anyone brewed this kit?

Thanks!

Anyone?

Anyone?

I made one but I cant remember where I got it... It wasn't directly from Bell's i know that. I brewed it as an extract, but it tured out real well. I'll check the hop schedule I used when I get home.

I have not brewed that kit, but put together a recipe that came out pretty darned close. The recipe has only minor differences from the Bell's Store. Note that instead of the yeast listed, I harvested and cultured from two bottles of Oberon.

That's embarrassing. Thanks for letting me know

Very similar to the Bell's recipe, looking forward to how this turns out

I made the all grain kit that came directly from Bell's earlier this spring. I used Bell's yeast that I cultured up from bottles of Amber.
The main problem was the ibu's. Recent crops of German hops have been about 1/2 their normal ibu range, but Bell's didn't account for this in the kit. Oberon should be about 26 ibu(if I remember right), but the hops Bell's sent left it about half that.
Run the recipe through brewing software and be prepared to buy more hops if you want a more accurate clone.

I'm going to make a clone of this recipe on the weekend, hopefully will turn out well. I usually grab a pack of Oberon when I head to Grand Rapids, a few times a year. This will go into my keezer, to be on tap along with my 'rusty red ale' and apple cider.

 

[GreenEnvy22]

This turned out quite well, a nice easy drinker for hot summer days. Not a lot of hop flavour, I haven't used those varieties before, so I don't know if that's to be expected or not.

I have the Bells recipe and a fresh pack of Imperial A62, the Bells house yeast ready to go on Saturday. Going to run this one on the warm end of the recommended temp range (72F) for maximizing yeast eaters and then spund in a keg when it’s nearing FG for some natural carbonation and see if I can be drinking in two weeks or less.

According to BeerSmith and the alphas listed in my hops I’ll hit the IBU target, but I got them from the cooler myself and have the grains in hand and didn’t buy a prepackaged kit.
