Sexy.HB NEIPA: 7.7%, went with a new hot side combo. Instead of a solid Columbus/cascade mix, I went with Waimea (all late boil additions) and cascade/cascade lupomax in WP. Hydro sample came out nice and tropical with a lil resinous feel from the Waimea which I wanted. dry hopped for a tropical leaning pineapple vibe with el dorado, vic secret, and Citra LUPOMAX. Not quite fully matured yet but I dig it. Nice tropical with some nice true hop with resin vibe and pineapple on the back of the swallow. Kind of surprised the Waimea carried all the way through. Pretty happy with this one.

Well considering you called me sexy, I guess I need to put out right? err, perhaps you were calling the beer sexy lol. Anyways, here it is:Sexy.
May I ask your grain bill?
Awesome, thanks!Well considering you called me sexy, I guess I need to put out right? err, perhaps you were calling the beer sexy lol. Anyways, here it is:
62.5% (12.5lbs) 2 row - rahr
20% (4lbs) Spelt - best maltz
10% (2lbs) malted oats - thomas fawcett
7.5% (1.5lbs) carafoam - weyermann
My OG was 1.075 and FG was 1.016. Ive been targeting 1.015-16 lately and like the results. I really like the ~7.7% ABV with this grain bill a lot. For me its the sweet spot for this style. Great mouthfeel without being chewy or heavy. It drinks like a standard strength beer, not a double at all.
Ive pretty much been using this grain bill for a while and making small tweaks to it such as upping the carafoam from 6% to 7.5%. Im sure if you don't have spelt, white wheat would be totally fine. I just think that spelt is "fluffier/pillowier" when you get to ~20% of the grain bill compared to white wheat. For me, I have also been preferring having the wheat being favored over the malted oats in general.
Enjoy!
Yum. I’ll be brewing a brown ale next weekendKicking off Autumn with an HB brown ale. View attachment 781790
That turned out gorgeous!Czech pale lager - 4.5% ABVView attachment 784167
Jesus that sounds good! Send some my way!Pumpkin Pie Ale, served on nitro at 40 psi. Aged for 1 year. 10.5% ABV. Delicious.
I don’t brew mine a lot, maybe only once every 12-18 months but I’m a huge fan of the style.HB cascadian black ale. My recipe.
Looks great. You should look up “slow pouring” your beer has the foam formation that it would absolute climb.3 weeks on, the czech pale lager has really cleared up quite a bit!

Cool. Im a big fan of hoppy Saisons! Do the hops give you the descriptors they claim? Peppery mango pineapple sounds great to me.I like it. It's got a session-strength Tank 7 vibe -- American hoppy and Belgian peppery.
This version was extract; I'm going to work on perfecting an all-grain version.
