Totally flat like the original (Like how PTN wishes his chest was instead of the man boobs).

Ok guys, a friend and I have agreed that we're going to try to brew a Utopia Clone just after Christmas. We've both had it before so we at least have tasted what we're trying to replicate. From information gathered from a ton of sources we've cobbled together this recipie. We're going to aim for 20 gallons going into the pots, boiled down to ten gallons of final product. Tell me what you think of the recipie. It's not a perfect clone, I know Sam has a starting point of 48*Plato and we're only around 42. We've talked about adding some malt extract to boost ours up, we're still negotiating on that, I want to keep it all grain. We'll also be adding either sherry or champagne yeast (if we can't get sherry which according to our local guy is hard to get) and we'll be aging it on oak chips for probably a year. I'm thinking about how to replicate the taste profiles they get from the time SA keeps the beer in old whiskey and sherry barrels
I know Pummba and Landhoney were both talking about taking a shot at this some time ago, dows anyone know how that turned out?

A much better use of time than rereading this thread.
PTN
when did you guys brew that? .
So I added the second starter (non barley wine starter this time) along with 2.25lbs of maple syrup. I took pictures I will be posting of the starter, syrup, mixed starter and syrup, and krausen. Note that this krausen is after 5 days and its still going and I have regularly agitated the yeast (usually by saying that the yeast looks like PTN, that would agitate anything). I will try and post the pics tomorrow when I get home from work.
