Midas' Touch, that is! Where I do appreciate the suggestion, myself and three other friends have decided to go in on this together and split the cost and the fruits of our labor as we brew a DFH Midas Touch clone.
The recipe, coming from Sam Calagione's book "Extreme Brewing," makes a 6 gallon batch of the Golden Elixir. Ideally, it will turn out at least something like the original. Should it not, we will have three cases of 9% abv. word-slurring fun. The way I look at it, is that it's worth a shot and is also a win-win situation.
If you have any pointers on brewing clones, or Midas Touch clones specifically, I'd love to hear them prior to Sunday!
Until then, I have 20 hours of work, a midterm, and a paper due, so no drinking for me. Enjoy one for me!

It's been a while...
Sorry for the delay... I am in the process of transitioning from full-time work to classes and 30 hours a week of work.
So the Hefeweizen and the Chocolate Stout are bottled, leaving all of my fermenters empty. This troubles me, and I MUST BREW MORE! We currently have 4 different beers in the basement, totalling nearly 6 cases of beer. What a great feeling. I want to keep the inventory high, so it's time to do another one.
This is where you come in.... leave your suggestions here! I am open to try anything I haven't done yet. I was kind of thinking maybe a Saison, but like I said. I leave it up to you!
Since I have a 6.5 gallon carboy, friends of ours asked to borrow it to make a Midas Touch clone, so I suggested that we split the cost of the ingredients and go in on it together since it can be rather expensive, so we will be doing that shortly, which I look forward to.
I sampled the Hefeweizen last night and it tastes fantastic. A few more days and I think it will be perfect. The chocolate stout sampling is coming tonight, but I think it needs plenty more weeks in bottles, if I were to guess right now.
Anyway, I hope to hear back from all of you soon. I will update with pictures shortly.
Thanks for reading!
