Mac 'n' Jack's Amber clone (supposed to be close)

Post #1 made 9 years ago
Just kegged this batch. Tasted what was in the hydrometer vessel then drank the whole thing - it was good already, before conditioning/carbonation. Looks to be a pretty good batch. Initial and final gravity were right on the button. Quite an easy brew day too. (Maybe this one will help to make up for the 5 gallons I just dumped due to some type of nastiness getting in.)

Hope I'm adding this right - added the recipe report and attached the file.

Added right for sure SV,

What we'll really need to know though is what you think of the brew once you have packaged and tasted it. In the upcoming forum structure, if you think it worked out well, then the recipe would be put in a certain forum ready to be tested by others - a long story :roll:.

The only thing I can think of apart from the above is in the naming of the file. It probably should start with the Style Name. How to name a file will be part of the BIABacus 1.0 help so don't worry about this at all for now. Instead, let us know, honestly, how you think the recipe compares with what you are trying to copy (e.g., it might taste excellent but nothing like what you were trying to copy.) Your file above is great but the detail on how you find the resulting will be what gives this thread hard value.

:peace:

SeattleVet - how did you like your beer...? How good a copy did this make? Mac and Jacks Amber is a great beer. If this creates a similar beer I may give it a shot.

SeattleVet (or anyone who sees this and can answer...),

I just downloaded this BIABACUS recipe for your Mac 'n' Jack clone. I am online right now ordering all the ingredients when I noticed the Roasted Barley EBC/SRM/Lovibond you had noted on your recipe. At a 3.9 EBC, it equals the Pale Maris Otter in the recipe. All the roasted barley I can find is 866 - 1333 EBC. I am sure it must be a mistake on the spreadsheet. I am wondering if you recall what EBC rating you actually used on this recipe. Appreciate the help...

Yep. Bought a cabin on a river in the NW Georgia mountains. Little town called Ellijay. Nice little cabin with a 3-car garage! Lots of brewing room!

I am brewing an Irish Red next week (same one I did a few years ago while traveling. I will follow up with the M&J as soon as I free up my fermenter. I still have only the one. I am working on building up my brewing tools again. But I have decided to stay with BIAB, even though I have the room to go bigger...

I will post with results on both of these. After these two, I am going to try to double-mash a barleywine. I have been wanting to do that for the last couple of years....I have the time, space, and temperature control now.
