Yeah I totally caved. Went home for lunch and decided to pull a little sip off.I think this recipe originated from brewboard and was created by Jimvy I believe the screenname was as well. I have not brewed it just read a lot on it as well.Badogg you must have caved. You said you transferred to keg to carbonate in the recipe swap and didn't taste it. Ha its all good. Sounds like a fine beer and one I should brew by fall as well.

Nice thats sweet that you can make it home during lunch from work. If I went home and had a sip I would surely not make it back for the afternoon as well.Yeah I totally caved. Went home for lunch and decided to pull a little sip off.

Really nice that my boss tells me that he really doesn't care if we drink beer, do shots, smoke weed, snort coke as long as we do our jobs. Never went past the beer part as I don't really have use for the others mentioned.Nice thats sweet that you can make it home during lunch from work.

I got the exact opposite gravity - second all-grain batch ever, didn't sitr the mash (just poured in and left it) - got 50% efficiency and way under target gravity, and still a very good beer.Jim did a nice job. One of the few recipes that I will pretty much follow the directions. OTOH, the first time I made it was from an old recipe that assumed 65% efficiency - mine turned out quite a bit higher. I've had both and probably prefer the higher gravity version.Even the Fuggles belong in this one.

Good call on the fuggles dj, I agree I do not use fuggles in any other recipe, but when I need a beer for the nitrogen faucet, I turn to jimvy's recipe and do not substitute. This recipe is truly a legacy and cheers to jimvy and its following! This beer has also given me a couple 1st place finishes as well, thanks jimvy!Jim did a nice job.

I agree, but I am also in the camp that thinks this beer is at it most super awesomest on beergas. That is not possible for us in comp.I wouldn't be surprised if it did well in Longshot with regular CO2 levels/serving as well though.I cant even remember how many times I have made it. It is my goto oatmeal stout and such a great beer.This beer is good enough to enter into Samuel Adams Long shot.
