Been consuming a lot of steak and OC v2.0 lately.
That sounds great! I know that my OC was the fastest drained keg to date. I have not brewed in a while because demand just wasn't keeping up with production but I plan on brewing up 1 or 2 batches for the summer.
Didn't you do 10 gallons of this? Is your other 5 just sitting in a keg aging or something?
Pol.
Thanks for the explanation. Since I want to make this beer and Austin Home Brew was out of cascade when I was there last weekend, Here is my adjusted hop schedule based on what I had already, a little less than 4 oz Cascade leaf and an ounce of Amarillo, which I subbed in the full boil since it's going to be primarily used for bittering. I had to swap out weight for IBU, using recipe ounce x IBU divided by IBU of what you have equals ounce of what to use, and from what I've read, 10% utilization for pellet over leaf.
.74oz Amarillo 8.9% pellet FWH 90
1.18 Cascade 7.2 leaf boil 10
1.18 Cascade 7.2 leaf boil 5
1.18 Cascade 7.2 leaf boil 1
I will be able to pick up more cascade for dry hop by the secondary or kegging time.
Be careful using the armillo as a FWH. If the idea is just to get bittering throw it in at 60 or 90. If you FWH it then you'll end up getting a lot of aroma and some flavor i believe from it. Which is fine unless you wanted just bittering and the cascade to stand alone in the hop profile. IMHO
Well, Pol , I have put this one on my short list.
I just tasted my Two Heart (the one that the HLT died on) and was quite surprised at how well it came out. Since I really love this beer, I may just do a follow on and pitch right onto the yeast cake.
I got my HLT fixed yesterday with a 4500w element that I had laying around (the SSR is 40A, but small heat sink, and the box has a fan).
Since you use bottled water, I was wondering how you "mix" it ? IIRC, there were more spring than distilled.
So will this be your next batch? I know you can't live w/out it...
