Sleepyemt, I have just recently gotten into all grain brewing (2 batches under my belt). I really want to try your recipe for this hopslam clone. Since I am so new and since your recipe has evolved, is there anyway that you can post a finalized recipe with in depth instructions? I would greatly appreciate it and will definitely hit you back up with feedback and how my results transpired.
So here is my latest variation on the recipe. It's not far from where the other are, just playing around with hop times. Exact? no, but close enough that I'm very happy with it. Its for 6 gal., you'll lose a lot to hop material and end closer to 5 gal. Temp control is important, I like 66 then as it gets closer to finish ramp it up to 68 or a little higher to help it dry out. Oxygenate and pitch enough yeast, see mrmalty.com for amounts. I keg, its possible that you'll need to repitch? I believe there was one person that didn't get carbonation. Your taking the yeast to 10%, but others have had success...
Boil volume and efficiency is for my set up, you may need to adjust for yours. I'd reccomend gypsum depending on your water? Your 10g kettle should work great, I have the same.
Let me know how it goes and and if I can answer any questions
