OK, strike water is on (again) and I just cracked this:

It was news to me too. :) Thanks all the same.

It was good! Bottled-on date was Oct. 15 of last year, but I don't think a nut brown minds a little age too much. If it did, then I want to taste a fresh one - it's really good!

Brew-day is starting out like a comedy act. Cooking food at the same time, got a little distracted, almost over-shot my strike temps. Hit 164 on the nose, grain might have been a little cold, but I was having a helluva time getting the grain in the pot this time around. Then when the bag got empty enough to clip the corner & pour, I couldn't get the scissors to cut the bag. Sharp kitchen knives to the rescue! Overall, it took far too long to dough-in, and I was trying for 152-154 again, but when I took the temperature after 6-7 minutes, I could only muster up 149.

It's gonna be a dry one! Hopefully the Golden Promise & Golden Naked Oats can make up for it.

OH, apparently, I got worried that this will be too malty for a DIPA, so I used 4# of 2-row, 3# of GP, and 1/2# of GNO. Now I wish I had gone all 7# of GP. We'll see how it turns out, OWOTO.
 
Cleaned up some, about to eat, just poured this:

Not bad, but not amazing like a lot of their stuff.

Food porn to come!
 
Update on the Rye IPA: heat has finally returned to the apartment, the fermenter is now at 66F (as per stick-on thermometer). Gravity when I checked 2 days ago was 1.024. It's now at 1.020. I'm feeling optimistic; I'll be re-checking the gravity in 2 more days and probably dry-hop at the same time, so I can bottle next weekend.

Brewing a blonde tomorrow.
 
Your brew day is under 3 hours?

No, I wish! I started cooking food right before I mashed. I have 25 minutes or so still on the mash, then the draining, sparging, boiling, hop-stand, & cooling of the wort. I won't be done for a while...

:eek:
 
Drinking my sample. It's very tasty. It'll be even better once dryhopped, cold-crashed, and carb'd.

Next up is an amber ale.
