sounds good from the recipe - any probs getting the yeast? I see its got wheat in it, did you use rice hulls?

Nice, I might add that to the todo list. So far I've done Hunter Foundation Pale Ale, Libertine Black Ale and currently fermenting the Brixton Porter. The pale ale is not that great, but still good, but the black IPA is delicious, dry hopped at 12.5g/L.

EDIT: Oh yeah I also brewed 10 Heads High.

No problems with the yeast, I used WLP590 which I picked up from clever brewing. No rice hulls & I hit my numbers so no issues I guess.
Planning on doing the 5am Saint next. Only problem with Brewdog recipes are they cost a fortune in hops!

Oh and I used Red Gum Honey from Coles - I figured it was the closest to the floral heather honey without spending a fortune on manuka.

Novice BIAB brewer here, I've noticed Extra Pale Malt features heavily in BD's recipes. What would be the equivalent that's easily available in Australia?

Mate, without looking up any one particular malt available here in Oz, I would just go with whichever pale malt is available you. What do you have on hand?

Cheers!

Haven't actually got any grain at the moment, was just looking to put in an order at my LHBS. Was thinking Simpsons Golden Promise or Maris Otter, or maybe Briess Two Row?

I'm looking at #31 'Bashah"
At 30 EBC I don't think it will matter what colour your base malt is colvs. If you are using something like Beersmith2 then when you are adding in the specialty grains just add enough to get the right colour.

Thanks for your help razz!
 
My first crack at a Brewdog clone is now in the fermenter. Had to be 5am Saint.
A bit of subbing... Carapils for caramalt. Cascade for Ahtanum. BR-97 for WY1056.

The best bit was using my new hop rocket for the 80g addition of Nelson Sauvin. Tasting and smelling unreal so far. And you'd want it to with 331g of hops in a 21L batch.

Can't wait to do a side by side!
 
Had the pleasure of a 6 hour drinking session in the Brew Dog Shoreditch establishment in London no all that long ago.

Bloody hell there were some good beers, but 5am saint and Punk IPA fresh from the draught tap were something else.

Looking forward to brewing some of these soon!!
 
My brew buddy and I used the 5am saint recipe and modified it slightly to come up with one of our favourite beers. Everyone loves it, even if these recipes aren't 100% accurate they are a great starting point to make it your own.
 
As someone may have said earlier, the 5AM Saint recipe in the pdf has 2.5g hop additions where it should be at least 12.5g...
