How famous is Denny?

@Chris-P

In all seriousness, how did Denny gain such notoriety?

by making awesome beer, designing great recipes, winning lots of comps, writing great articles, sitting on the AHA governing committee, being a champion of the notion that you don’t need $500/$1000/$5000 worth of equipment to make award-winning beer, and of course, patiently answering questions like “SHOULD I RACK MY BEER OFF THE YEAST AND START MY SECONDARY NOW?” from wet-behind-the-ears brewers like us.

A model citizen of homebrewing, if you will

I recommend his Memory Lapse Pale Ale for a quick turn-around spring ale. Mine magically disappeared before I could have more than five of them.

Memory Lapse Pale Ale is not a denny conn recipe. It is Ken Lenard’s.

just trying to give credit where credit is due.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Being a famous homebrewer is great…that and 2 bucks will get you a cup of coffee! [/quote]

Are your recipes up for the public to see and make? I checked your site, didn’t see them. I have been looking for two certain recipes…seeing if you made something similar.

several of them are here…

@Nighthawk

I only hope that I can give a little bit of my knowledge (10% of his) to the new brewers.

Dude, that right there is a GREAT attitude and the reason behind a lot of what I do. I’ve gotten so much help from so many great people through the years that I just want to give back a bit of that.

@candleman

I have considered mailing him a beer he dissed the recipe of, because it came out great. I felt he needed to taste it to realize :lol:

Bring it on!

Isn’t that Ken Lenard’s recipe?

I will never not be embarrassed about this. Ken and Denny, I am sorry. Still good, though

I was at a monthly brew club meeting a little while back, and we were discussing the pros and cons of various MLT’s and one of the guys (he’s kind of a snob) said “the only real way to make great beer is with a SS MLT and a long fly-Sparge.” there was the usual mumbles, and so I said, no. If it’s good enough for Denny Conn, it’s good enough for me. All if a sudden us was like David just beat Goliath!!! He conceded and now he says he only batch sparges. Hahah.

While that is a true story, it probably doesn’t even begin to explain the contributions he, and a few others, have made to this community and our passion.

Thanks Denny. And cheers, hopefully someday I can buy you a beer.

Every one can get on cup of coffee of $.05 at Wall Drug (free if you are/were in the military). Don’t let your head get to big.

I’ve had many a $0.05 cup of coffee at Wall Drug. But I don’t miss SD winters.

His restaurants are great too. Can’t figure out why they don’t serve beer though I mean, why can’t I get breakfast stout with my skillet??

[hellbound]

What!?!? A Denny’s with a bar? Too bad all they serve is BMC, oh, and Blue Moon, same thing
