Well I did a midnight run of this last night.
I'm nervous though because I hit my water temp and got my grain in and then went in to talk to the wife for a bit and 25 minutes later I look at the temp and its sitting at 158. I'm guessing I didn't let the thermometer sit long enough or my turkey fryer stand had latent heat in it. I threw some ice in it and got it down to 152ish and finished.
The rest went well. Man I wish I had hops potpourri all the time.

Well I'm seeing what happens when I screw up my temps. This beer will not clear. Very yeasty sour tasting. Guess we'll see in a month or so.

Failed. Sorry. I look forward to trying this again. I learned a lesson on this one. It wasn't due to my temps though. it was because I put in unboiled water and my water has a lot of chlorine in it.

Ubermick and I brewed this yesterday. Color is great and we got around 1.060 OG, so it should be close to the original. Update in a few weeks on how it came out, the US05 has kicked off nicely this morning. Fermenting down in the mid 60s to keep it clean.

We are brewing this again today and noticed I didn't update the post. This beer was awesome. It has a mild Rye flavor and nice complexity which makes it very sessionable. A bit darker than we wanted, so we'll put in a bit less roast. I 'think' we are going to add a couple pounds of Munich as well to increase the maltynees. My 5 gallon share of the 10 gal batch lasted less than a month and I have 9 other beers on tap.

Brewed this recipe saturday. Came out pretty dark, don't really care, just going to call it a brown ale. Can't wait for it to be ready for consumption.
