I think it goes up to around 10% alcohol so no worries there. I know that Surly uses a British Ale strain as their main strain at the brewery so it should get you a similar flavor profile to that of Surly! I usually pour the beer back in forth once cooled between the boil kettle and the sanitized fermenter to aerate it. You should be just fine! <br /><br />If you want it to be as bitter as Surly Furious i'd add some additional bittering hops, another half ounce of a high alpha hops, warrior, simcoe, or whatever you have on hand. If not don't worry, many people prefer the Midwest kit over the actual Furious as 99 Ibu's is definitely very bitter.Dank brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779478546239203006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-24307858155326755872011-11-20T21:21:27.536-06:002011-11-20T21:21:27.536-06:00I just purchased the Furious kit from Midwest. Whe...I just purchased the Furious kit from Midwest. When I chatted with one of the reps he reccomended the Wyeast Activator 1335 yeast. When I looked at the Wyeast web site, the above yeast is not rated for a high gravity beer (goes to .63 and Furious goes to .68). Do I need to use a different yeast? I would also like to know which yeast you used and did you airate the bucket after you pitched the yeast. This is only my senond attempt so any feedback is appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016768543865919158.post-41956284249737130502010-03-24T13:01:30.191-05:002010-03-24T13:01:30.191-05:00Nice!

Everyone in Rob's family loved your Spitfire Ale! And they all laughed when I told them about Thelma and how she just wanted a shot.kristi.w.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08194689985633487991noreply@blogger.com
