Caramalt on most sub charts is comparable to C10. I like CaraRed flavor better, so used it.

English Malts are very different from American malts. There are no equivalents. So your best bet is to go with an english malt that is similar in character.
Respectfully, I don't agree with this; at least fully.
I agree Maris is a totally different beast than US Pale.
However, I bet you would find it difficult to tell a difference between Biscuit malt and Victory malt if given the two to munch on. Same goes with Roasted/Toasted malts, in general.

Here is a grain substitution chart I use:

I've been finding that beers I do with hopstands hit their peak at 4-6 weeks. That's pretty interesting to hear yours was so good at 12-18 days. The latest one I did was also 5.5%abv, but with a 5oz 30 min steep and a 3oz dry hop. It was NOT that good at 12-18 days, but at day 26 turned freaking amazing.
4-6 weeks/ 26 days from brew day or from tapping (after carbing)
Anyone know a sufficient substitute for Apollo hops? Every substitute chart I have seen doesn't even include Apollo.

Boom...
Thanks.That was not a direct Heady clone attempt. It was just a 5.5% pale ale I brewed, using a 7 ounce hop stand at the end of the boil. I used some comet in it (As it was a new suggested hop). No dry hop at all. Basically a really big, long (1-1.5 hour) hop stand. No dry hop. 10-12 day primary. Keg, carb and drink. That particular batch was so good that it was gone in less than a week from kegging - 18 days from brew day.
Thanks.
So what kind of quick carb method are you using??
I'm revising my old "3 week primary, 2 week carb" routine!!
I generally hook it up to 22-25lbs for 1.5-2 days and then back it off to about 12lbs. I check it (ie. drink a glass) everyday ....... strictly for quality control purposes of course When it seems about right I back it off to serving pressure so it does not get overcarbed. It might still take 3-5 days to kind of settle in.... but it works pretty slick.
Interesting. At 22-25lbs for 1.5-2 days, do you help it along by rolling or rocking the keg, or do you just let it sit for the 1.5-2 days?
just let it sit. just gives it a "head start" on carbing up a bit quicker.
Needs a little more carb ( a couple more days), but this is an AMAZING beer. Never has Heady, but if anything like this, I will have to try it.
Looks great Is this from your post #3118? I am gearing up to try another couple batches of this in the next couple weeks. Got some Heady yeast going in a Blonde Ale right now that I am going to harvest and use.
White labs 644...this is the closest thing you will get to Conan. Great yeast strain for a very tasty ipa and other unique ales.
Typo? 644 is a Brett strain
I would not even attempt to mimic the effects of Conan by choosing another yeast.
If you can't get Conan, then just use WLP001 or WLP090. Won't be the same, but you're guaranteed a good IIPA.
