Wet hop time! My favorite time!

That exactly what I did...this is a homegrown and brewed beer with about 4.5lbs of blackberries and wet hopping for ?# of days. I think I might let the hops go for two days before removing (along with the berries).

Drank this about 12 hours too early...brunch beverage straight juiceView attachment 697033View attachment 697034

Leave it on a garage shelf and see how long until it explodes...that's the fun stuff right there.

Yeah, I read that it did indeed hit 120° at Cal Poly earlier today. We hit a cool, comfortable 104° around 2pm here in Nipomo. I had planned an afternoon brew day but with that kind of heat I just couldn't do it. Relief tomorrow as it's forecast to be in the low 70's so I'm extending my weekend, taking tomorrow off, and brewing a "Schwarzbier" with Kveik yeast.

127f in the sun on Sunday ... now it's super smoke haze (no smoke smell, must be high up).
 
A couple goodies over the last few days.


MIL made me a MX seafood stew with all my favorites, and the BIL/SIL brought down some Hoppy Birthday beer as they usually do on my birthday.

V3.0 of my still-in-progress house pale ale recipe. Not quite there yet, but this one was going to be a long shot any way as it was my 2nd brew on my Anvil Foundry and it ended up spending 45 days in the fermenter. I think I’m going to go back to crystal malt in my recipe. I think I got caught in the no crystal malt hype, but I actually like it lol.

Enjoying some tub time with the rest of mine (I drank, after comparing, his first). This was the last one left from last year's batch, bottled 12-20-2020. Going to have to brew that one again once the fermenter becomes available. It's nice and light but full flavored at 4.20%, so a bomber is well received without putting you down.

Wow, time travel is a thing. Cool. ;)
Just kidding. I love a good nut brown.
