My first Red IPL, sorry the pictures in the bathroom, I was cleaning siphon tubing. [emoji23]

Pizza night last night with some recently kegged Red IPL (5.6%, motueka, Centennial, and galaxy). 70% H2O dough with 9hour rise, and one hour proof in smaller balls, but I think I kneaded it for a few too many minutes as it was a little tougher than others I’ve done at this hydration. Good...

Czech Pilsner.

Beef chimichurri tacos while camping at the lake.

Haha! I live with my girlfriend, but she just rolls her eyes and makes a joke at my expense whenever I take the kitchen for a brew-day. I do all of the cooking so she tolerates my hobbies. [emoji23] I’ll probably try this again, as it wasn’t too bad. The alternative is to buy some reflective...

I haven’t tested yet but that’s a good point!

Fair! Surprisingly for my normal brew day this was less work than my regular setup where I goose the mash (I do a fly sparge anyways so some extra water heating and etc wasn’t much different from my normal process), but having hit the extact same efficiency as I normally would I see your point...

Shoyu Ramen with pork Loin braised in the stock.

I was getting tired of losing so much heat and having to goose the kettle a few times an hour as I’ve still been using a blanket for my insulation. While warming my strike water for a batch yesterday, blanket on hand, I was dashing around the house trying to find better insulation when it...

Some bastardized margarita pizza and a baguette

+6 Gallons Galaxy IPL tonight. =XXXX Edited to reflect a correction above = 5216

4244.5+ 5G Brown Porter + 5G Czech Pilsner = 4254.5 Gallons

HB Brown Porter. First brew in three years, really glad the grain didn’t go off!

I did the full volume batch. Turned out great. Might halve the hops next time as the utilization is really high and it's more like an ipa than a Pilsner. Not a problem as I like both styles, but I want to try something that will showcase the honey better.

Edit: Whoops, I've already posted basically the same response in this thread. How time makes the mind grow duller.. Point is, my mead never improved.

Just checking to see how everyone's brews turned out. I am going to be doing a full batch of my above recipe sometime in the next few weeks.

Came out great! I will be making a five gallon batch of this. It was surprisingly beer like for a mead. Very citrusy session ipa ish instead of the pilsner profile I was going for, but I think the hop utilization was pretty high in the smaller batch, and I had a bunch of hops get out of my tea...

So I went ahead an made the gallon batch of this. It's been fermenting for a few days, and is down to 1.010 and the body is pretty good. I'm hoping it doesn't go too much drier than 1.008, but I'm just going to let the yeast run its course. The saaz hops work really well with the honey, and I...

I think for the first batch of this, I'm going to cut the grain. Will try to make it just a hopped hydromel bochet, and see if the honey can hold it's own. Going to start with a 1 gallon batch, carb with honey and backsweeten with something unfermentable if it comes out too dry. Will post...

I made two gallons of buckwheat honey about 7 months ago. Unfortunately they got infected, but the taste up to the turning point was definitely promising. Maybe not something I would do full strength a second time, but I'd like to try a blend in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
