Ended up doing;

1/2 oz (14g) mosaic @60min
1 oz mosaic @ 15min
1 oz galaxy @ 15min

This should net me around 55 IBUs with my 5.5gal batch. Hop smell was intense when racking to primary!

I’ll probably do a hefty dry hop of about 4oz after fermentation slows down, just need to decide what kind of mix of mosaic and galaxy.

Built a starter and pitched WLP095, Burlington ale yeast. I used this in a NEIPA and harvested/washed it. Had a fantastic fruit character, I’m going to keep this yeast around for a while.
 
House Belgian Pale Ale on deck tomorrow, pending arrival of ingredients which will supposedly be delivered by the end of today. It's a recipe I've been using to test yeast strains, tomorrow I will be pitching Wyeast 3726 I cutured from the last bottle of my last Saison. Will be fermenting at 72F straight through, I think the sweet citrus and mild spice should fit the style well.
 
Just doughed in.

Like the Old Boy's mug, I'm about 20 minutes away from there.

4oz dry hop! Somebody's not fooling around. Maybe you should be the person who has "go big or go home" in their signature.
 
Two batches to do this weekend. One mashing now: Big Rob's Citra Cream Ale that I haven't made in years but am oddly excited for.

Tomorrow's batch is a variant of jlaskey's Pirate Strong Ale. I will be using Alazar's twist with prickly pear and tequila chips. Also looking forward to that one!
 
Got the grain milled for another batch of Citra/Sabro IPA tomorrow. Third time with this recipe, added some pilsner to the bill to help stretch out the two-row (almost out). Super stoked to use new fermonster tomorrow for the first time, can't wait. Once brewday is done have to schlep 200lbs of milled grain back to my former brewboss, it's been major in the way in the garage the last week. Pushed back by the garage door for easy loading tomorrow morning. Right now enjoying a very undercarbed and not-quite-cold-enough glass of the IPA I kegged this morning; been drinking CL all damn day and I just couldn't wait any longer. It's tasty! Used Mosaic & Crystal as dry hops, it's got a distinct sweet orange-peelish flavor and a great aroma. Best one in a while.

Water on to heat. A variation of Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde: there's a slightly higher proportion of Vienna and I'm using Chinook and Amarillo rather than Centennial and Cascade.
 
Brewed 7 gallons of this yesterday. All Citra, Nottingham starter.

I also had the distinct pleasure of sampling one of the worst tasting beers of all time while social distance chatting on a neighbors driveway. It was called Mexican Pale Ale. Supposedly flavored with lime and chiles. He got it in a mixed case of Mexican beers at Costco.
 
AHA Big Brew (virtual) this weekend! Hoping my wifi range extender reaches to the back deck. Not brewing the AHA recipe, which requires ridiculous hops and malts (and also because I am kegging a NEIPA tomorrow), but instead brewing a brown ale.

Anyone else doing this?
Ditto on not using AHA recipe, I'm doing a tripel. At this point in my life, I still hate IPA's.

There, I said it!

Yep I'm participating but brewing a saison since I already had almost all the ingredients on hand. That AHA recipe was a bit obnoxious given the circumstances.

Yeah I’m still learning. Going to use what I have. But I am doing it when the virtual thing starts
 
Have to work this weekend but I will be brewing Friday for the AHA big brew day. Probably be brewing something different also. Hope to have a few friends over and celebrate homebrewing while drinking a few homebrews.
 
Yurp, over 100° today, and supposed to stay that way at least thru the end of the week. I'll get everything ready Friday night, then start mashing at the crack of dawn.
