Nothing to do with the clone recipe, just wanted to pay that I found 2 bottles of this it a local shop today.
U jelly?
I got this brewed Friday. I came up about .002 short on OG. I am thinking about boiling up a bit of sugar and adding it after primary fermentation, but will wait and see where the final gravity ends up before doing that. Here is what I did, it is basically just a scaled down version of post #1:
Batch Size: 3.25 gal

Beer Profile Estimated Original Gravity: 1.102 SG
Measured Original Gravity: 1.100 SG
Estimated Final Gravity: 1.027 SG (hoping for 1.018 - 1.020)
Estimated Color: 58.0 SRM
Bitterness: 101.2 IBU (60.0-110.0 IBU) Alpha Acid Units: 9.1 AAU
Mashed temperature: 151 F
I will report back in a month or so.
I just threw this in the kegerator and waiting for it to carb up. The hydro test tasted awesome. A side note on the san Diego super yeast, it ferments very vigorously so if you are going to use it I would suggest a blow off tube because it is going eat through fermentable at close to twice the speed as regular wlp002. The last beer I made with it started up strait from the vial to a 1064 batch, it had started to show signs of fermentation at 5 hours, and was at a full ferment with an inch or krasen at 8.5 hours; and I took a hydro at day 4 and it had already fermented down to 1014. With this beer I'm assuming it will go so crazy it will be blowing krasen out the top with that yeast. Just my opinion though.
Brewed today. This was my second all grain and I nailed the OG at 1.100. Sample is very hoppy bitter.
mrgstiffler said:I'm still waiting for signs of fermentation on mine that I brewed on Friday. Made a 2L starter of the WLP090. Decanted and pitched into the 3G @ 1.102 that I shot with pure O2 for 30 seconds. I expected the yeast to go ape**** within 24 hours. Stupid lazy yeast.
I am surprised isn't going ape$h!t by now. Got krausen or is in a bucket? If bucket, maybe a bad seal somewhere, it should be going strong, especially with a starter.
Mine is going nuts with several inches of krausen today. Thanks for the compliment Skeezer, this was also my third home brew ever.
IPA is next. Who's got a killer recipe at 7ish%

Woz said:I was considering making your Zombie Dust clone sometime. I acquired some bravo and delta hops and want to brew a pale/IPA using them first. I posted looking for some recipe advice, but haven't got much response. Anyone here have experience with these hops or advice?
