Northern Brewers Off the Topper Heady Clone
« on: October 08, 2015, 09:41:49 pm »
Looking for advice/feedback/suggestions from those who have brewed NB's Off the Topper, their Heady Topper clone.

It seems like a solid recipe and I would like to hear from others who have brewed this before.

Never brewed it, but I have a tip for using the hopshot. Pull off about a gallon of wort and stir will adding the hotshot to get it properly mixed, then dump it back in. Adding directly to the kettle can leave a tacky mess on everything.

It is a solid recipe. I scored 39.3 and took second place Category 14 at the 2015 March Mashness competition.

Did you brew the recipe verbatim or have any changes?

Brewed as ordered and was fantastic.  Club members also felt it was close.
