Elegant Bastard American Strong Ale

SKU: UBK10330

This elegantly simple recipe translates into a deeply complex and brag-worthy American strong ale.

We strongly recommend ordering dry yeast in the summer months. We do include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeasts. It is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will survive the trip given transit times and particularly hot temperatures.

Description

Details

This elegantly simple recipe translates into a deeply complex and brag-worthy American strong ale. The choice combination of pale malt, Belgian Special B, and Chinook hops create a medley of dark caramel, raisin, dried cherry and plum and slight pine flavors all interlaced into a boastful deep copper color. Pouring with a medium-heavy body, Elegant Bastard is a smooth sipper meant to be enjoyed in moderation.

One of my favorites
Arrogant Bastard is one of my favorite beers, and thankfully this clone came very close. It's one of my favorite beers that I've brewed so far. My gravities were exactly what the instructions state. Spent 2 weeks in a Primary and 5 weeks in a Secondary. It was done before that, but I needed to wait for a keg to empty. I definitely want to brew this one again.

2% of precincts reporting
Just had first bottle after 12 days bottle conditioning, after a full 3 weeks in a Fast Fermenter. Used the liquid Wyeast option and still had a lot of yeast in suspension at bottling; however, it settled out quickly and firmly, and I was able to pour a very clear glass of medium amber brew. Crisp, pleasant hint of grapefruit; anxious to see how it ages in the bottles.

Good Stuff
This is very close to the Arrogant One. Easy to brew. I used the dry yeast. Bottled using 3.5 oz corn sugar. 7.5% abv. Everyone loved it. Strong but not boozy.

Hoppy with Good Head Retention
2 Weeks in fermenter and almost 2 weeks in secondary. Kegged and force carbonated. I was pleasantly shocked how good this beer tasted shortly after carbonation. It will only get better with time. ABV has some kick. Mine tested at 7.2%. Highly recommend this one!
Hoppy yum!

Really close to the target
I used White Labs Burton Ale yeast, and on kegging this was pretty much spot on. I'm a little concerned that it's not dropping bright, but to be honest the taste is so good I'm prepared to overlook this.

Easy drinking
A very balanced easy drinking beer. Made per the recipe and it didn't disappoint. It will be on my list of go-to brews in the future.

Very good
I`ve never tasted Arrogant Bastard so I`m not reviewing this as a clone , but instead just as a really unique, complex, and flavorful beer you can brew at home. Very good brew .

Half Hopp
I don't care for heavy hopped beer. I cut the hopps in half and the result is very good.

Does this kit come with every ingredient needed to make the beer (aside from sterillization)?
A shopper on Jan 30, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I think that the final results could have been better if I had oxygenated the wort. At the time that I produced this batch I was not aware of the importance of this step. This adventure is a learning process, I would bet for the experts also !
Sorry ,should i use one or two packages of safale S-04 for this kit
N I on Aug 25, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Thanks for contacting Midwest Supplies. I understand you have some questions on how much yeast to use. On kits with a gravity of 1.060 or higher, we usually suggest purchasing a second packet of yeast so that the yeast does not get fatigued trying to eat all the sugar that is in the wort. Having a fatigued yeast can make it harder for them to be have enough strength to force carbonate your beer, if bottling. So you can pitch 2 packets of yeast, or if you are using a liquid yeast it would be beneficial to make a yeast starter. Otherwise, if you don't want to pitch a second packet of yeast you can use a Cask and Bottle Conditioning yeast like Lallemand CBC-1 Conditioning yeast (Y024) to add to your bottling bucket when you bottle, without producing off flavors. The recommended inoculation rate is around 2 grams per 5 gallons or a 1/2 tsp. Cheers!
How long do you believe this beer needs to be bottle conditioned? Would it be ready to drink in approximately 3 months?
R S on Aug 24, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I use a keg system, but the answer is probably the same. I use a primary fermenter for 1 week, and secondary for another. I let it condition in the keg for 4 weeks before I took my first taste. It was good! Two weeks later, it is still maturing. But that's part of the "joy of home brewing".
One or two package of safale S-04 for this kit??

how much does this kit yield?
A shopper on Nov 17, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hi there, this kit will make 5 gallons of beer. Cheers!
Why is 1lb of corn sugar in the instructions to be added to the brew for Elegant Bastard? The kit only comes with 5oz for bottle priming.
A shopper on Nov 15, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hi there, the kit comes with an additional pound that is added during the boil. It is used to help boost the alcohol content. Cheers!
