Well a friend’s bbq just popped up in the calendar two weeks from now and that means tomorrow its brewing day. Its already warm and sunny here in spain so it’ll be a 7%abv NEIPA.

I dont usually brew dry hopped stuff but sunny time calls for hoppy refreshments!

Yesterday I brewed a beer with the intention of using up my overstock of grain . 12 lbs white wheat
2 lbs flaked oats
2 lbs pale ale
7 lbs Pilsner
2 lbs Bonlander Munich
1 ounce liberty hops at 30 minutes
1 ounce of citra at 15 minutes
3 ounces sweet orange peel and 3 ounces crushed coriander at 5 minutes
2 packets of Us 05 at 68 F
I guess I call it a blue moon summer ale , we’ll see in 2 weeks, no doubt it should be good.
 
Four gallon Amber ale on Saturday. Still dialing in my SVBS. Pre-boil gravity came in low despite steady mash temp @152. Pre-boil volume @ 6.5 gallon. Finished with 4 gallon @ 1.053, rather than predicted 5 gallon @ 1.059. I'm thinking tweaks needed to more grain and less water, increasing flow rate in recirculation, and reducing boil intensity from 95% to 80-85%. Nevertheless, fermentation is proceeding nicely @ 1.031 today. Also, noteworthy the refractometer and tilt readings were in agreement @ 1.053/4 given my eyes ability to resolve the little lines. Every brew is an experiment and an effort to reach the null hypothesis.
