Brew a best bitter this morning. Just starting to see some signs of activity from the airlock
I'm brewing a Flying Dog Raging B*tich clone on Sunday and that recipe uses Columbus and Amarillo for the hop additions. What yeast are you using for your IPA?
The RB clone is a Belgian IPA so I'm using Mangrove Jack M27 yeast on mine.
I'm hoping it comes out tasting something remotely resembling the original with a good hop bite and that "belgian-y" yeast flavor.
I haven't left work after nights shift yet. So I will not be brewing
Turns out that something looks a lot like vanilla porter.Might be able to squeeze a batch of something in tomorrow. Not sure what, and I'm not sure I can get to the brew shop, so whatever it is, it'll have to be done with what's already in the pantry/freezer.
Brewed 3 batches today with my oldest daughter. Mashed for an 11 gallon batch and split the wort evenly. One became my first attempt at a Revolution Fist City clone, the other became one of my pale ales - Across the Galaxy (2 oz of Galaxy at FO). While finishing one of the boils, doughed in for an oatmeal stout so it could mash while we finished up the previous boil.
Started at 7:30, and was finished by 1:30, except for pitching the yeast, which I just did. Got the recipes made last night, weighed out grains and crushed also. The rest was today. First mash was a half our, two of the boils were half our, and one was 45 minutes. Also used hot water from the tap so that heating time was cut down. I've done this a lot with no ill effects. (I have a gas HWH; don't think i would do this with an electric one.)
This is the first time I have had 3 fermenters going at the same time in a couple years, so I am stoked!
That's impressive! First to get a kid, much less a daughter, involved. But only 6hrs for 3 brews? That's a 12hr day for me. How long to drink it all??😉
