Gava........Stella clone IBU is 39.5 and yes decimal point is in the wrong place. I have this in the fermenter now but with an addition of 300gr of flaked corn. Temp here are 10-12C average will be in primary for 4 weeks one week in the keg in the fridge. I will then leave it in the keg for four weeks outside on verandah cold side of the house, might even dry hop if it needs it, still playing with this.

Pretty much off-topic but i thought the references to "Wife beater" were because of a Streetcar Named Desire where the character Stanley who is abusive shouts "Stella!" to his other half called Stella.

Just out if interest.
What where the AA% on the hops and did you use pellets?
I've found using pellets at Flame out a RPITA at times.
Since i tend to cube all my beers when I brew I was thinking of cube hopping if I ever get my bum in gear to brew again....

cheers

Gava..... Put this down last week and the Budvar only just kicked in. I had to raise the temps a little to wake it up' as it has been in the fridge for a while. There has been some issues raised about the Hallertau but all as I can say that this came from some book of beer recipes and was passed on to me. The current recipe has had the flaked corn addition. I note to that the SRM is down on the original as well.

Cheers

Did you make a starter with the smackpack or just smack the pack a few days before and then pitch?
