Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

Anyone have a particularly good Heady Topper clone?

I'm trying to talk some friends into doing an Alesmith IPA clone instead, but I might not prevail. Anyone have a Heady Recipe that's worked well for them?

another cool idea could be to make a double sunshine inspired DIPA.
apparently this is pretty much the real deal right from Sean Lawson:

what's unfermentable in there? the cara malts will be more complex sugars, but certainly not unfermentable. and the corn sugar it more than balances that out...atomeyes wrote:that's a fair amount of unfermentables, no?
close to 20%?

Pretty sure the BYO recipe is far off. This one should be closer.

For example, it is know that Fawcet Pearl is the base malt.

I still disagree with your original statement. While there's going to be more complex and potentially unfermentable sugars as a part of those grains, saying that you have "20% unfermentables" is far from accurate. Not to mention that the math is completely wrong (5.3% carapilsen + 2.7% caramunich = 8% grain percentage), and even if that was 8% of completely unfermentable sugars (which it isn't), the extra pound of sugar would largely offset this.atomeyes wrote:https://byo.com/wheat-beer/item/1586-wh ... cara-malts?

My go-to at the moment is S-04, which I have really been in love with lately. I have a smack pack of wyeast 1318 that I am really excited about trying also.markaberrant wrote:I haven't used Conan, but curious what you think the better options are?J343MY wrote: For me, there are better options for doing hoppy beers.
