Sip of Sunshine while brewing for the first time in nearly two years! Happy New Year!!

Well then. I guess I need to get back here more often. :)

I know people stopped shopping at Northern Brewer, including myself, after ABI purchased them a couple years back, but.... ZX VENTURES SELLS NORTHERN BREWER TO BLACKSTREET CAPITAL

Are you saying that Portlandia must stop breweries? Do they not make Real Beer (tm)?

That's what I'm saying. Should be 1000 gallons per month. :)

+5 Citra Cerveza = 3386 @bigdaddybrew

5 gal Irish Red Ale 1481 + 5 = 1486

5 gal SMaSH2 11,434

Cleaned and sanitized two kegs. Getting ready for my first brew day since May. Been a busy summer. Edit: Oh and, refilled my CO2 tank due to a leak. And More Beer replacing my 3 way secondary regulator due to a leak...see first sentence. A banner day!!

Drove to my LHBS, 40 minute drive one way. Maris Otter in tow, lots of hops, other grain, WPL007 and a bunch of SingleCut brews. All in, good day!!

As soon as I saw the pic, I smelled the grain in the hot water. Looks good!!

4074 + 5 gal of Citra Cerveza APA = 4079

Awesome setup!!

Buying ingredients tonight. :)

Porters a bit sweeter than Stouts? I'm under the impression of the opposite. Stouts are a bit sweeter and porters are a bit dryer. Any clarification on this? Happy to be wrong.

My pleasure! A continual learning process for sure.

Again, it may vary between recipes, but 17c is a good spot.

For the mash or fermentation? I'm sure it depends on the recipe, but you should be looking closer to 68c for the mash.

Citra Cerveza @bigdaddybrew Good stuff.

Wasn't going to say anything, but not sure what you mean by this: Twice no less. Just saying. Don't understand.
