Well I finally got around to brewing this today! Beautiful Florida fall day on the porch around 74 degrees by me. A couple of newer brewers wanted to see the process and they learned a lot and had a blast brewing with me. I will report back when I get the batch in the keg and pull a pint!

That's great Kal, I just realized I never reported back on my batch I made last year. Mine came out great and was a hit at a party I had! As always the recipes you post are top notch all the way!

Yes sir, I am familiar with "Tasty McDole". I have heard him many times over the years on podcasts with Jamil and company. Even though you didn't create this one I still have to give you props for posting it in your recipe section! Matter of fact when I am not tweaking one of mine and am looking for a good recipe to brew, I often will brew one of yours here on your site. You post solid beer recipes here. It doesn't matter if you created it or not. Also Gordon Strong's book "Modern Homebrew Recipes" is another treasure chest for some really good ones too!

Kal-
That looks fantastic after 4 days. I've got an Irish Red and a Stout that are about 10 days in and not taking the carbonation very well.
Are you carbonating at a higher PSI for a day or so? Your 'Ferment and Package' section says "We carbonate by simply connecting the CO2 up to the keg and waiting two weeks with the regulator set to the standard serving pressure."

Hi David,
The beer's still a bit flat, but when filling the jar I used a picnic (cobra) tap from the keg as it's still in the conditioning fridge and did a 'rough' pour with the tap only open a bit to let it squirt out and foam up a bit. So there's some good head on the beer (which I was curious to see how well it held up) but it's still somewhat flat. I sometimes do turn the pressure up to ~35PSI for 18-24 hours when first kegging beers that are meant to be drunk young and fresh (like an NEIPA) as that does carb them up pretty much within a day. I then turn down to serving pressure. For this beer I didn't care I didn't have room on my taps yet for it.

Is this recipe considered as a Newcastle Brown Ale clone?

Kal, about the post-boil hop addition: just to confirm, this is to be added at near-boil temp right after flame out, rather than say a hop stand at c. 180F? Also, do you prefer your "double dry hopped" version to the original recipe? I'm ready to get going on this as my next brew!

Correct. It says "added immediately after boil" and the process steps mention "Lid on at flameout after post-boil hops are added, start chilling immediately.". There's no mention to chill to 180F first. So if you want to follow the recipe exactly, don't do things that aren't mentioned in the recipe.

There were many months between the last time I brewed this and the double dry-hopped version which is 2.5 years ago so frankly I don't really remember if there was much of a difference. Taste is also very subjective - what one person prefers doesn't mean everyone else will prefer it as well. I remember both as excellent but then I love heavily dry hopped beers or any beer with mostly late additions, steeping, or dry hopping. I don't think you can go overboard with this beer (within reason). Try both, see which you prefer. No right or wrong answer.
Cheers!
Kal

It was with sadness that I learnt today that Mike "Tasty" McDole (author of this recipe) passed away yesterday after a year long fight with cancer. Rest in peace Mike.
I always really respected his brewing knowledge. I remember being interviewed by the gang at The Brewing Network almost 10 years ago where Mike was one of the hosts, and going in nervous as the guy knows literally everything about brewing. I've always respected him as he took a really pragmatic / common sense approach to everything he did related to brewing. He was also very active online, always willing to help out a new brewer with questions on the forums he frequented.
I'll be thinking of him next time I brew Janet's Brown.

Really tempted to brew this one, only problem is due to Covid I’m spending al long time away from home 3.5 months at a time. Is this a beer that will keep well or best drank fresh?
