brewed this again today for an up coming Oktoberfest at our church

Brought a couple growlers to a wedding reception today and it was a hit

Tried it last night. Pretty tasty. The Mosaic definitely comes through. Not a huge difference between the 05 and the 1010 yeast. The 1010 May be a bit tart compared, but both are good. My wife, who could only drink about a half a glass at a time of my last batch (IPA, too bitter for her) had two...

Batch is kegged and carbing!

Well hoped to keg today and have it carbed by Monday, but both carboys dropped two more points on the gravity so I guess I'll give it a few more days

Tastes good. Mosaic is coming through, but not too bitter. Not a huge difference from the two

Checked SG last night. The 1010 was at 1.012 and the 05 was at 1.010

Hello from Arlington

Pretty good considering it was my first solo brew day. A little hectic at times, and I melted the hose on my immersion chiller. It's fermenting away. The 1010 took off fast, as in hit the blow off tube overnight the first night. The 05 was a slow start. Didn't show any signs til this morning.

Boil's on now!

just picked up the ingredients. Going with 05 and 1010 for the yeast. I'll let you know how it turns out

What about Wyeast 1010?

Ok maybe I'll do 05 in one and 04 in another. @rivenin I'm still new to recipe building, and brewing in general. Why do you think hefe yeast wouldn't be good?

Planning on brewing 10gals of this on Saturday. I ferment in two 5gal carboys and usually do something different in each (different yeasts, dryhops, etc). I'm thinking I'll try two different yeasts for this. Open to suggestions. Maybe 05 in one and more of a Hefeweizen yeast in the other?

I use a wine thief https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_ime_i_2_7?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=wine+thief&sprefix=Wine+th%2Cgarden%2C303

A few more questions Anyone done a ten gallon batch? Would you just double the ingredients? Any need for rice hulls?

Thanks @rivenin . that all makes sense

Thinking of doing this next brew day. Neither of my LHBS have mosaic. Any substitutions, or should I order some from an online store? Also would there be any benefit to subbing and pound or so of the wheat malt for flaked wheat? How about adding actual honey to the boil?

Added gelatin to an IPA after chilling in the kegs for two days

checked gravity on my IPA. added 1oz Columbus to one carboy and 1oz cascade to the other. Also discovered that it is a PITA to dry hop with whole leaf into a carboy
