Northern Brewers Off the Topper Heady Clone

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.

Great advice Steve. It makes sense.

+1

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?

Good contribution ;)  jk  You really need a +1 button on this forum, Jon, like over at HomeBrewTalk hehe
Never used hopshots, but thanks for the info, Steve. Perhaps I’ll try it soon.

I could have reworded what Steve said but I thought he covered it pretty well.  :wink:

Brewed the eecipe as it was designed, no adjustments.

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

That is encouraging - thank you for the feedback.
