Brewed this up today. Color looks good, undershot my volume a bit (I'm guessing it's from the lost wort in my "hop sack"). The the CYBI recipe calls for Special B, I subbed for Briess Extra Special from the group buy. I used 2 packs of S-04, and this bitch is under furious fermentation!

That should be interesting with the Briess malt.

Threw this in the keg today. It started at 1.065, finished at 1.013.
I don't have an Arrogant Bastard to compare it with, but will bring it to the next meeting for input.

Right on. We had the Double Bastard at the last meeting, I really liked it.

Anyone ever "slow" force carb their kegs at room temperature? I normally wait until it's in the fridge and do the "shake the shit out of it" method, but now that I have 2 complete CO2 setups I figured I would let this Arrogant Bastard clone sit on gas for a week or two to carb. What PSI would you use to do this? Based on the carbonation chart, I was going to set it at ~20psi which is probably a bit under carbed, but I'd rather that than over carbed.... I'm thinking 25-28psi is probably the proper pressure.

Always - though my "room temperature" is usually quite a bit lower than most people's (say 14-16C). I pressurize at ~30 psi.

I did an ABA clone a few months ago however the recipe I used was slightly different... either way, it was delicious
11.5 pounds pale two-row malt
1.5 pounds crystal 120
1.25 oz chinook pellets (12.5 aa%) (15.6 AAUs) @ 90 min
1.0 oz chinook pellets (12.5 AAUs) @ 30 min
0.5 oz chinook pellets (6.25 AAUs) @ flame out
1 tsp Irish moss
White Labs WLP007 or WLP001 (English Ale Yeast)

I just threw this in the fridge tonight after tasting the keg of brown that froze on me last week, it went to shit... at least it was less than 1/4 full.
Hopefully this bastard is tasty.

I'm thinking 25-28psi is probably the proper pressure.
The method I use, and works well for me is this:
set regulator for 3x the desired serving pressure. For me that's 10psi x 3 = 30 psi
leave there for 3 days, then bleed off a few times.
then set to serving pressure, leave overnight (I usually take a sample mug at this point
)
next day, bleed it off and reconnect, it should be pretty close to where you want it.

Ahh frozen keg beer, this happened to me a couple of times when I first setup my keezer and my custom controller had a couple design bugs. I "saved" the beer by shaking the keg to mix things up and opening the pressure release for a couple days to help with the over carbonation. The beer was not the same but it was still enjoyable.

I would say the beer would have to taste
really bad before I threw it away... like poison or raisins (I hate raisins!)
