Irish food- don't get me started. Growing up I never once ate corned beef and cabbage. Plenty of Irish stew, champ ( a dish consisting of mashed potato and scallions) and pork chops and frequent servings of soda farl and potato bread with Clonakilty black pudding and sausages. Oh, and mince cobbler. My granny would try and feed me bags of dried seaweed culled dulce instead of crisps and my mum will still serve a side dish of potatoes with EVERY MEAL ( "Mum it's chilli and rice tonight."- "yes but it's not right without some mashed potatoes- the pinks are just coming into season too") Guinness and bushmills whiskey are probably the tastiest things we produce.

OK you rye peeps, got any good rye pale ale recipes, or any RyePAs that I can turn into a pale ale?

I've got citra, amarillo, sorachi ace, and hbc 429. I want to use these up. Whatcha think? I'm not big on spicy hops, but I could see a bit of malt spiciness going well with some citrusy stuffs.

Finally got home. 7-8hr of driving. That drive completely sucked because it added 2+hrs to it. I was near the border and read a article that the west bound was still opened. So i took the risk to see if it is. Nope. Got 4 miles from the border and was force to turn around and go another 100+ miles to cross the border further south through 2 lane road. Luckily i didnt get stuck behind slow a holes. On top of that. I hit Houston rush hour.. Beer and whiskey will be flowing

 

[iijakii]

And the worst thing is that 7-8 dr was just ****ty Texas "scenery". If you were somewhere pretty it's at least comforting.

I'm going to keg my BritLager this week sometime, will just harvest that yeast*. Not sure what to brew yet. I guess I can get some Munich and make a dunkel. Or should I do something else? Gavin halp pls

*L17 Harvest
This strain combines good flocculation characteristics with low sulfur and low diacetyl. Clean fermentations produce amazing bock, helles, pilsner, dunkles, and just about any other lager style you throw its way.

Temp: 50-60 // Flocculation: Medium // Attenuation: 70-74%

Never heard of that yeast.....................It must be stupid...........................!!!!!!!! Brew an obnoxiously named Dunkel

That is some killer lacing. It matters to me so it does.

I think you should up your carbonation a smidgen. You need a creamy white head on that beautifully golden looking beer. ETA: Disregard. Looks creamy above.

Hard to capture the underside of pup's mouth, but from the bottom he looks like the cross between Predator and a crocodile.

I do need to up the carb a tad, but also mainly just had the flow-control faucet too slow I think. Round 2 poured better once I turned it up.

 

[iijakii]

I'm too cheap right now for dual regs so I just went for middle of the road. DEM too carbonated, Pils not carbonated enough. Whateverrrrr

Please remember, these are 2.5G (app. 10 liter) batches. I have made one, but not from these recipes - it was one of my last extract batches.

Heck, here's that recipe, easy enough to convert the extract to grains...

Weird Alice Rye Pale Ale *
------------------------------------------

2.4G batch

1.0# 2-row
0.5# Rye
0.5# white wheat
Mashed at 150 F for 75 minutes

2# light LME
1 cup (0.5#) sugar
added at flameout

.125 oz Nugget @60 minutes
0.5 oz Cascade (whole cone, 7.5% AA) @20 minutes
0.5 oz Cascade (whole cone, 7.5% AA) @5 minutes
2.0 oz Cascade (whole cone, 7.5% AA), hopstand for 45 minutes, 170 F
0.5 oz Centennial, dry-hop for 5 days
0.5 oz Columbus, dry-hop for 5 days

5.5g Nottingham yeast, hydrated

OG - 1.054
FG - 1.007
ABV - 6.2%
30-35 IBUs

If I were to make this as an AG brew, I'd up the rye amount in place of some of the 2-row, and go with a different mix of hops instead of an all-Cascade boil & hop-stand. But that's just me.

I'd like to get some OB beers that they make at both plants & taste them side-by-side. Just to see if there's any differences.
