3F's is an awesome bar! And as if their beers aren't enough they have an amazing guest tap list too.

Thanks for the heads up on the recipe WOP!! I never did make it to the guest list!! That place was straight up tits!!! I'll try to keep it under 40 words. We get there and I tell the bartender how glad I am to be here. He says let me know if you want to sample anything. So I try a couple offerings. Kolsch, Gumballhead, Alpha King(Outstanding as well). Then we proceed to sample other beers(which will remain unnamed to protect the innocent). My wife breaks down and has a nice apple flavored Belgian(Floris?) Have some lunch. That place was great!! I hear they might be doing some barbecue this summer. Let me know if you guys wanna go. I'd love to go back.

i brewed this for a event here called zoo brew and it was awesome. the keg was empty in 15-20min max. i have 5 gallons more waiting for my self so i can have time to enjoy it.

Glad this recipe has gotten some attention! It's a really tasty beer. It's fairly close to Gumball Head, but I think it could use a bit of tweaking to be an exact clone.

Thanks for the recipe, now to get a shit load of Amarillo hops, have not used it in ages [used it to death then 'got over it'], OK I will give it a go again.
Also what [if any] style is it, wheat of some sort?

Hey Bindi, let me know if you want a large QTY of Amarillo, I am considering buying 5KG for around $70 per kilo...plus freight to you.

OK, Done, we can split it whichever way you want. 1-2 kg would be good for me or 50-50, whatever.

Bindi, it a supposed to fall into the American Wheat Category

Bottled the Gumball head clone this past sunday while I was brewing an oatmeal stout. I have been so excited to try this one that I held out a double size test sample. Even being room temp and un-carbed this is one of the best beers, homebrew or commercial, that I have ever had. Cant wait until it is fully conditioned. I am going to save at least one for the tourbox. Your welcome.

Well I decided that this is going to be my next brew so I went and picked everything up today. I probably won't be able to brew until next weekend though.

I've never really heard of dry hoping a wheat and 2 oz of dry hop seems like a lot. I'm going to do it but why dry hop a wheat?

Why? because I have had this beer made by jekster personally, and it is one kickass beer. You shouldn't change this recipe one bit. If you are a fan of Gumball head, then you will love this recipe. I even think this recipe is a little better than Gumball Head.
