It might have a bit more clearing up to do, but I think it looks pretty good for being fermented with WY 3864.




That looks pretty clear to me!  Awesome!

76% Maris Otter
12% Munich
4% Choc Rye
4% 45*
4% Molasses (at the top of the boil)

32 IBU EKG all at 60 min

Wyeast 1084

A Scottish Export sounds good right now, I may need to get one ready for March. 
I've never even seen a glass like that before, where did you find it?

I have a glass like that.  It is called a Thistle Glass.  Mine came from a brewpub in Baltimore and has the name Oliver on it.

Those thistle glasses were supposedly introduced by the Belgians when imported "Scotch Ale," as they called what the Scots just called Strong Ale, became very popular between the Wars.  Thistle being the emblem of Scotland, and the Belgians being obsessed with specialty glassware.  Seems like this is one case where the beer is special enough to deserve the treatment.  Now I really want one of each.  Glass and beer.

Thanks.  It is a great yeast; I have two jars of slurry left (really wish they would make it available year round).

Here's an single hop APA with Denali (won't be using that hop again).  With 3 oz. of dry hops per 5 gallon batch, I think this is as clear as it's getting.

Looks great. What do you dislike about the Denali to cause to not to use it again?  (I’ve not used it)

Thanks, so does your Winter Warmer.

The Denali pellets had this great aroma, but I'm not really loving the flavor.  It's kind of a cross between pineapple, orange, and something a bit more tropical along with a vegetal (maybe like bell pepper) flavor.  It probably wasn't a great beer to use rye malt in either.

Over the last few years, I've experimented with a handful of the newer hop varieties (Denali, Citra, Eureka, Vic Secret, and Waimea), and some of them were pretty nice.  But my favorite APA is still SNPA, and my favorite homebrewed APA is still an SPNA clone.  I think I'm done experimenting with hops for a while.

I've only had a Denali hopped beer once (that I know of).  I remember thinking "Fruity Pebbles."  I would use it as a single hop beer, but probably with a simple grain bill of 2 row.  Maybe some 10L Crystal and or Wheat.

Interesting. Though I hope I don’t get bell pepper (not a fan), I am also beginning to experiment with hops.

I used Galaxy (new to me) in a Golden Ale recipe in my attempt at Big Wave. First taste says this was a great choice. It needs a bit more conditioning to really make a solid call.

I’ve been planning a Lemondrop Blonde Ale a cpl brews from now.  I am also planning Dr Rudi and Motueka (along with Saaz) in a James Squire Four Wives tribute coming up.

We’ll see!
