First brew this year! Going with an extract batch (I'm currently repairing my mash tun) to make a Cascadian Dark Wheat. Also my first time using Nelson Sauvin. Very excited!
Gonna brew my first batch this year with Catdaddy66. He's going with a Cascadian Dark Wheat while I plan on making this Milk Stout kit that my SWMBO bought me last month for our anniversary. Work kept me from brewing for 3 months. Let's get into trouble baby!
Finally brewing tomorrow. I've been, "overcome by events" for the last two months. A rye IPA. Of course, I'll hafta get up an hour earlier due to, "spring ahead". When will they stop this BS?
I stopped by AHS this weekend, on my trip to Austin, and bought their Wild Card allgrain kit. I'm going to try and brew it today, but I need to bottle first.
Rough start this morning.
Had difficulty with my mash temp. First going high, then over-correcting low and finally back up to about right.
Did get higher efficiency than I planned, so I had to sub in some cascade for more bittering.
Cooled and pitched.
I started brewing a month ago - full all grain. Brewed three batches prior to today. Today i brewed a 2.5 year old Caribou Slobber Extract Kit w/ Specialty Grains (that came with some used stuff I bought off Craigslist). I re-used some yeast (05) from my last brew batch. I wonder how the old kit will turn out - I know I probably should have just pitched it but the extract process seemed so easy - thought I would give it a shot.
40 min into the boil of another NE style IPA with ctz to bitter and late boil additions of galaxy and a 4oz mosaic hop stand and then it s getting a 4oz mosaic dry hop, using my first go with London 3 yeast. Looking forward to this one.
