I brewed it yesterday. Mashed @ 143 degrees for 30 min Raised to 155 with two gallons of boiling water for 30 minutes. Sparged with 2 gallons. Made a yeast starter 2 days prior. This yeast has lag time
Thumper tube required

It has been a long time since I used one but I am fermenting in a 6.5 gallon carboy and still needed a thumper tube. I guess the yeast was hungry.
It's finally in the keg

This beer is a 9.5 out of 10 on my scale. Only because it isn't quite as good as I remember drinking in 2000. I am very proud of this one as I think anyone who brews it would be. If you decide to brew it, remember you will need a lot of headspace in your primary fermentor.
This Beer Rocks

This has to be the best beer I have ever brewed and I have brewed some pretty good stuff. I have already ordered the stuff to make it again. Usually when I make a recipe the second time I change some things... not with this one.
