Teady Topper, nice. I named my Eddy Topper (my name is Ed so it worked, my wife made fun of me)
I have updated the first post with this information. I have confirmed Amarillo is in the recipe. There are also no oats of any kind, nor any munich.
Source?
yeah need a source
I too would like to know how you can confirm this with such certainty?
Not to be "that guy", but I think you should really go back read through this thread, and the thread in General Beer Discussion that preceded this thread.
I have been following both. Last I remember vegan was still adding Munich as a small percentage of the grain bill and now he says its not in there...
It seems our definitions of reliable sources are quite different. When someone says they confirm something, that usually denotes a degree of certainty, i.e. info from someone who actually knows, and not from someone who thinks they taste something.
Doing the same thing with my Pliny clone Nord, just put on the keg last night.
Got a few irons in the fire to get some Heady and get this project started after 2 months now. I know someone a while back(in the old thread) said they were using some honey malt. Anyone else try this? Was at the LHBS and picked up a pound just to have on hand. Didn't know if this was tried and tossed, or if it had some success.

Hmmm, apparently the both of you need to go back and re-read some more. Not just skim, but re-read the threads. I think you'll find that his sources are fairly reliable.... but maybe that's just me.
Remember, there was an extremely long thread in the GD forum that preceded this Recipe thread.
libeerty said:To be fair, though, these people were asking about Munich no longer being in the recipe. They weren't asking the sources of everything. A couple days ago, vegan said Munich was definitely not in it but gave no explanation why, and they asked where he heard that, that's all.
I'm sure there is Amarillo in there.. how much, well thats up for debate.
People seem to think there needs to be more piney/resinous/earthy dankness to the beer, but still with some citrus.
I think the Simcoe and Columbus need to be upped to make that happen. Columbus is dank as hell in a dry hop.

Bob did make all very good points in post #89.
We're better off discussing and attempting further than to believe a few links at face value when there is obviously so much wrong with the details we do know about this beer.
I, for one, want to make a clone so I can see for myself how it should be changed to get closer to HT. Not because I don't believe everything that has been said, but I want to do it myself.
All the more reason to have a thread like this where we can communicate with one another and say, "This beer definitely has Amarillo and Conan and here are the sources." And also, "I personally had more accurate results using 3 oz. total Amarillo and fermenting Conan at 63 degrees than I did when I used 6 oz. of Amarillo and fermented at 67 degrees. What are your experiences?" Now wouldn't this get you a bit closer than just doing it yourself with no prior solid information from your peers, blogs, articles, and the brewery?
Went to the brewery today to pick up some Heady. Noticed one fermenter at 54 and the one right across from it was at 45. They were brewing that day and when I got there it was around 4. Anyway I got a pic of a portable pump that had a keg on top. They were running something into it and back out. The keg had steam coming from it. Maybe a hop rocket type setup? Also in the way back by the boil kettle there was another smaller container with steam coming from it. Anyway, thought I'd post it up hopefully it helps you guys.
