I wish I was brewing. My Zurich lager yeast needs to hurry up so I can use the fridge for my Pilsner smash.
Brewing a doppelbock.
Brewing a sour Saison? My first sour. Will barrel age for secondary.
Brewed a Mystery Ale today. I'm not really sure what grains went into it, as I was cleaning out some miscellaneous bags from the cabinet and figured I'd use them before they were useless, as they've probably been in there at least 4 months. I >think< it was roughly:
½lb Flaked Oats
½lb Victory
½lb Crystal 120
½lb Belgian Wheat
1½lb 2-row
¼lb Amber Belgian Candi Sugar at 225-263°
1lb Corn sugar @ flameout
All I really know for sure is that it totaled out to 3lb 8.5oz of grains, plus the corn sugar and candi sugar. I first wort hopped with ½oz Liberty at 5.8% AA and ¼oz Amarillo at 8% AA, and added ½oz Citra at 7.5% AA at 5 minutes, and the plan is to double dry hop with Citra and Amarillo. Final volume was a shade over 2½ gallons, and I added half a packet of US-05. It's not really an experiment so much as just having fun, since my hydrometer is broken and I have no clue what most of the ingredients are. It made me feel like I usually do when I cook, because I do that the same way. FEEL the recipe, and just add a bit of this, and a dash of that. The result could be awesome, or it could be an abject failure. Whatever it is, dammit, I had FUN making it!
Just finish an imperial stout with coffee, chocolate and peppers
If this beer turns out well, it'll be in spite of me. Holy mash-mishaps Batman!I'll be taking a stab at Biermuncher's SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde tomorrow. If it's as good as his Centennial Blonde I'll be delighted.![]()
