Nice haul, Cheese!
I also stocked up today; in addition to the pound of whole Centennial that showed up at my doorstep, I went to the LHBS and picked up:
50# 2-row (+ another 6# crushed)
10# Vienna (+ another 2# crushed)
4# Crystal 40L
3# Carapils
2# Chocolate
1# Black Patent
1 # Roasted Barley
WLP051V yeast
and a bunch of equipment (tubing and disconnects to make some picnic taps, funnel, hop bags) and supplies (pH 5.2, etc).
The crushed grains are b/c Crankenstein keeps delaying the shipment of my mill, and I can't wait to brew anymore
Total bill: don't ask...my LHBS is damn expensive...but not
quite expensive enough to justify buying bulk grains from an Internet shop. And while I'm there to get the grain, it just makes sense to get all the other stuff. In the long run, its in my interest to keep them in biz.
No such problem on "what to brew next", though...my next 5 batches are varietal variations on Bell's Two Hearted IPA (Half Hearted Bitter, Light Hearted Pale, Dark Hearted Brown, Black Hearted Porter, Whole Hearted Stout). Most of what I bought today will be gone in < 1 month, with any luck...
