Love the color on this brew.

Haven't tried this yet, interested if anyone's tried something similar:
10 # 2 row
1 # carapils
.5 # crystal 80
Cascade hops 1 oz. 60 min.
East kent .5 oz. 15 mins
East kent .5 oz. 5 mins

Yeast: Nottingham dry yeast

What do you think? Predictions on whether it will taste ok? I literally just built this beer with what I had on hand.

Note: I did have an efficiency problem. 1.040 OG that I attribute to too high a mash temp. Used DME and a healthy dose of corn sugar to reach 1.052, so I may be looking a thin beer with a low FG. My mash temp target was 150/151. Came out 155 or so. My grain must have been warmer than I had used to calculate strike water. Wasn't a PH or crack issue, had to be the temp.

Thoughts, predictions?
 
More than excited to start stocking my winter brews in the pantry

And to celebrate a solid pickup, a couple pours of Black Butte XXIII. Two years on this has done it reaaaally well

Terrapin Recreation Ale. Perfect beer when you need to drink all day. Especially if you like galaxy.

I need to make a sub 5% beer to keep in the kegerator with this much flavor, body and aroma
 
O.G. 1.064 (target was 1.062)
Sample of my toasted coconut stout which is just a very sweet stout right now. It's damn heavy and delicious.

It's late and I shouldn't start a second brew but I am all set up and in an effort to run over and help a neighbor struggling with their bags, I hastily put my iPad on the side of my truck and ran over. Shattered to the point where it is unsafe to touch because I had shards of glass all over my lap when I opened it to inspect it. Instead of crying I am going to brew more. If I wasn't strapped for cash due to home repairs (need heat this winter) I would buy another. It's my most used device. :(

First world problems and all that.

But the beer, I'm so happy with it. It's a variation of a recipe that I kind of made my own by reading these forums.
Ramble ramble.

Just picked up a case of this today. It's the first time I saw it in PA.

Good stuff, it is a very close second behind my favorite session pale, sidekick by two brothers.

Also at $33 a case , it is an excellent beer for a good price.
 
It is 8.5%.

Also, I just opened a bottle of the double ipa that I bottled along with the one I sent you and it doesn't taste right. Still really Hazy and doesn't taste as clean as others I have done.. Maybe just a bad experience with London ale yeast.

I just opened it. It looks like chocolate milk lol. Smell is up with a dipa and the taste isnt bad. I get onioney taste amd a little vegetal. I liked the porter a lot better. Might be the yeast. Was it newly kegged?

it was only in the Keg for 1 week before I bottled it. Usually my dipa and ipa are good after 1 week in the keg. Maybe the lower flocculating yeast, or some heavy chill haze. It is all base malt mashed for 90 min at 148, so I don't think it is starch haze.

Might be chill haze. Its getting a little clearer as it warms

Here is a pic I took right after i poured it
