    What I did for beer today

    Brewed up another APA to build the pipeline back up. All galaxy hops, smelled amazing.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Just mashed in on an APA at my new place. Been forever since I've brewed so I'm just excited to get my pipeline built back up.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I haven't been able to brew in two months due to moving, and this weekend I'll finally be able to get back to it. To say I'm excited would be an understatement....

    What are you drinking now?

    Cigar City and Jai Alai finally made their way up North Cackalacky so I'm finally getting to enjoy a few cans.

    What I did for beer today

    Dry hopped my Azacca Pale ale with 1.5 oz of pellets. Smells great.

    What I did for beer today

    Just finished cleaning up from brewing earlier. Made a Simcoe/Centennial Pale Ale using only late hopping. This is my first time not using a traditional bittering addition so I am excited to see how it turns out.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Was measuring out my hops, and when I cut open the bag of Columbus I got smacked in the face by pure garlic and onion. So I'm going with a Centennial/Simcoe APA now.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I've got a fair bit of Centennial and Columbus to use so I'm going to use them to brew up a nice hoppy APA tomorrow.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Brewed up an a hoppy blonde ale with Azacca hops all the way through. They smell so damn good. Can't wait for this one.

    What I did for beer today

    Kegged up a pale ale early this morning to free up a fermentor so I can brew this weekend. Spending a little time over lunch putting together the recipe for my Azacca Blonde.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Going to brew up another hoppy blonde this weekend. Finally found a recipe I like that the SWMBO also likes so I think I will have one on tap from now on. Also a great excuse to try out some of the different hop varieties I have with a nice clean grain bill.

    Marzen With Ale Yeast

    If you can keep it at 60* then you could use 34/70. I've used that at right around 60 and it comes out great.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I'll be brewing up a Helles either tomorrow or Sunday. It is always on my "to brew" list, but I always end up making something else. So this weekend I am finally brewing it.

    What I did for beer today

    Brewed up a 5 gallon batch of a Mosaic/2-Row SMaSH while working from home. I've been using 2-row from a local maltster and it is ridiculously good so I couldn't bring myself to add any specialty malts to the beer.

    Fuggles Off-Smell

    Count me as one of the people who get a dirt and mushroom smell from Fuggles. I used them once and have since switched over to using American Goldings any time a recipe calls for Fuggles. They have a nice earthy spice without the nasty funk of Fuggles or the Metallic flavor I get sometimes...

    What came in the mail for you today?

    Sweet, sweet deliciousness arrived at my front door today.
  18. BigMack

    What are you drinking now?

    I tried that at a local bar and it was awful. I'm friends with the bartender and told her and after she tried it she gave me a different beer on the house since that one was so bad. I generally don't like to bash beer because everyone has their own tastes, but I really just think that was...

    Emergency Brew. Need a recipe idea

    I'd do a simple Pale Ale as well. 2-Row: 6# Wheat Malt: 3# (or however much you need to get to about 1.050 OG) C20: .75# Cascade at 60 to get 20 or so IBU .5 oz each Cascade, Simcoe, and Amarillo @ 5 .5 oz each Cascade, Simcoe, and Amarillo @ Flameout I would go with Notty because I...

    What are you drinking now?

    Yeah, it wasn't awful or anything. It just wasn't what i was hoping for and expecting. For $11 or whatever it was a sixer I can definitely get something I like more.
