Glad you like it. I too have started using this as my go to maltbill for a single hop beer. I have a lb of 2012 Mosaic that I was going to use for an IPA but never got around to. Maybe next time I brew this I'll split additions as well and see what I think. I'm such a fan of Simcoe...

Ironically Ozzy has zero interesting the rabbitsin the field across from my house it's my 11lb cat they have to be afraid off. So far he's gotten fourth at we know off, all he leaves us is their back feet and some fur.

Here's Ozzy from the park today. He has a major thing for birds (ducks, geese and crows) and so far it's the only thing I can't call him off if he's off leash.

I tossed Ozzy my vote, hope he wins!

I don't add any lactic acid or acid malt when I brew this. I have the same source water as Russian River, so the only additions I make are gypsum and campden tablets to deal with the chloramine. It's one of my favorites too, and invariably what I order first when I'm at the brewpub. :tank:

I don't do much with extract, so assuming my napkin math is correct, you raised it 11 gravity points from 1.042 to 1.053? I think you may end up a bit darker on the SRM scale and the flavor profile will be a bit different but it will definitely still be beer and tasty beer at that. :drunk:

I've edited the original post to break dry hop into it's own section to remove any confusion. :mug:

I toss the hop bag in the keg right before I rack the beer and the dry hop additions stay in the keg, at serving temps until the keg is empty. The ten days referenced in the original post was for the initial fermentation and to allow for the yeast to clean up after themselves.

So far Ozzy hates the bath, the sprinkler, the hose, puddles and rain. I'm pretty sure I got a defective dog :drunk:

I dry hop in the keg, and leave them in until the keg kicks. If you plan on bottling that of course wouldn't be practical. In that case I personally would up the volume of the dry hop addition, but dry hop for no longer than 4-6 days. My own unscientific testing has shown that I much prefer a...

Yeah if I was using it for TV I'd agree with you, but I use sickbeard + sab + newsgroups and stream that via Plex to my Roku for any TV I want to watch. Mostly it's just I have so little tv time these days that I always have a backlog of shows to watch so netflix is really only used by my kid.

I personally can never find anything I want to watch on Netflix, but they have a great selection of kids shows. Being able to show my son old Loony Toons is well worth the $8 a month

Here is the latest published water quality report for the city of Santa Rosa so you can get a baseline of our water profile. http://srcity.org/doclib/Documents/2012ConsumerConfidenceReport_Online.pdf I remember Vinnie saying they pretty much just use the local SR water. A quick web search...

I rarely do a mash out a straight ale these days, cause lazy. I will do one if I'm expecting a thicker mash from a big beer, or am brewing a beer with wheat or oatmeal though. Since I live in Santa Rosa I'm lucky enough to share the same water profile that RRBC does. All I do to it is add...

I gave Ozzy a bath he resented it and sulked for a hour afterwards. I need to work on getting him acclimated and comfortable in water.

Even my shelter dog isn't cheap when you start adding up everything. Between the adoption costs, all the supplies food and toys and a couple of vet visits and tests I'm into him over $700 in the first month alone.

Ozzy is really settling in as its been about 10 days since we adopted him. He's turning into a true Velcro dog as I take him most everywhere with me he's now used to car rides like a champ and gets 6-8 short walks a day. We're working on basic commands and he will sit 85% of the time,come 70%...

I, and everyone who meets him loves Ozzy's Gremlin ears. I'll be bummed when his body grows into them more ;) Potty training him is proving to be a bit of a challenge. 90% of the time he won't poop inside anymore, but he'll gleefully pee indoors no problem. So far I've tried... Pee...

Thanks! He's a fun pup, tons of energy, though having an non-housebroken pet is an experience I don't desire to repeat. Couple more pictures of Oz

On Sunday we stopped in to the local county animal shelter while killing time waiting to pickup our son from the grandparents. We've been looking for a dog for a while but hadn't found the right one yet as among other things our criteria was for a young dog, preferably a puppy. When we got...
