yup, i've ordered my supplies, should get them on Friday, brew shortly after that.
I had planned on brewing this last weekend, but the local shop was slammed and unable to mill my grains. Just ended up picking the grains up tonight and should be able to brew this over the weekend. Should be good!

just got my supplies today, wont be able to brew till next weekend, brewing a czech pilsner tonight, had to get that done first for a new years eve party.
Has anyone in the community started yet? how did it go? any pics?
It's going to take a couple weeks, mine and RM fermenters are full.
Racking his batch over this weekend.
I'll email him and see if he wants to go in on this batch, we just have more fun brewing together then doing solo.
So I finally got around to brewing this yesterday (Sunday). All went smooth and I finished the batch in about 4 hours, including sanitizing in the beginning and clean up at the end. I did the all grain version and was shooting for an OG of 1.060. I was a little on the low side pre-boil, so instead of my planned 45 minute boil I did a full 60 minute boil. Ended up with exactly 5 gallons of wort at an OG of 1.070, guess it's better to be over than under, ha. I went ahead and just added a 0.5 gallon of water before pitching the yeast and pulled the OG down a little closer to the intended. Didn't bother making a starter for this one and just used a smackpack of Wyeast 1028 London Ale yeast. It's sitting at about 66° and it wasn't bubbling as of this morning, but I expect it to be bubbling once I get home from work.
So it seems all went well, but only time will tell.
After it's done in primary, I might split it off into two secondary carboys. The first as it should be and the second I'm contemplating of letting a little bit of the stout sour and adding back into the carboy, kind of like Guinness does (no more than 3%) to see if I can get that twang. I've got a week or so to decide though, ha.

I hope it comes out well for you dmofot.
I also hope it doesn't take me a couple weeks to get the supplies together, I'm looking forward to brewing this recipe, sounds challenging.
Silly question, when do I add the lactose, at knockout?
Or do I mix it in in the primary?

I believe it really doesn't need to be boiled long, if at all. I just put it in with 15 minutes left on the boil.
DT

K, im done just finished brewing tonight. again let me know if you wanna swap bottles when this is ready, cause im in if anyone else wants to.

Mine took close to 24 hours to show signs of fermentation, so no worries (I also didn't use a starter). I fermented around 66 degrees and a few days ago moved to a slightly warmer spot and gave the bucket a little shake. I'm giving it a few more days (no secondary on this batch) and then I'm throwing it in a keg.
