Do you still have her phone number?
Galaxy hops! They replaced Citra in my heart.

Torrified wheat and Munton's carapils. I replace about 8oz of malted wheat with torrified wheat. Adds a little more body and some additional complexity. The Munton's carapils is about 20L and I've been using that instead of crystal 20L. It's more complex and rich.

Citra Hops. Such a refreshing break from the typical Simcoe and Centennial IPA's.

Simcoe hops. I am probably the last person on this forum to have used Simcoe.
I've become a huge fan of Apollo hops. Citra and Amarillo move over.
(Although when blended with the other two, you get a bouquet of killer citrusy depth)

Wyeast Bohemian Lager yeast 2124
Such a sharp bite to it Acetylhyde? Nice and crisp, kinda like kolsch yeast. Glad I reused the yeast for a second batch so I'll have more when this one is gone.

I don't know which or all of the following:
I did a Red X IPA. I used Red X malt, Cherrywood smoked malt. Amarillo, Citra and Simcoe hops none of these have I used before.
I also made a Porter to which I added the liquid from 8 ounces of Papua New Guinea coffee that was cold steeped for a few days. It is awesome. I fear the keg is going to kick soon.

Fuggle hops - they were like little green pellets filled to the brim with a wonderful autumn day.

I go on brewing kicks where I will try and use an ingredient in any recipe I can. Like nelson Sauvin hops, or recently I've been into rye malt big time. Brewed a bunch of rye Ipas and a rye Russian imperial stout. Haven't bottled the rye RIS yet, but can't get enough rye lately. I'll probably find another ingredient soon and try and put it in whatever I can.
