Almost feels like they know we cheated on them today...

One more before I start spitting technical terms to my Japanese peeps.

I lied. One more. It was painful to watch this cascade and settle for 3-5 minutes. I wanted to drink it when I poured.

Nobody here cares if it makes you look creepy, we are an accepting bunch.

I cannot decide if this is a cause for sadness or joy. Keg of bourbon porter kicked with a full glass.

Just finished my last bottle of lemon ginger IPA. It was hopped with Simcoe. May have to do another batch but can't locate my notes. I'll figure it out and do it again though, seeing how first go was good.

Did you brew up 55 gals in four days ?

 

[thatjonguy]

If they aren't paying for college the deal has no appeal to me. Givebacks are a bitch.

They can pay for college themselves!

Like I did, while walking both ways in the extreme cold to school and college.

lol.

1.0 oz Columbus @ hop stand

That looks like it will turn into beer to me. I would personally up the 60 minute addition but I like more bitter than just about everybody. If it takes you a while to cool I guess the 20 min addition might give a lot of bitter though.

Why 90 minutes for the mash?

I don't know. I usually only mash for 60 but read a 90 minute mash may be better for IPA. I don't recall the reasoning.

EDIT: and you hit on my thinking. I'll get more IBU from late additions due to the hop stand (slower chill)?

Send me the finished product and I'll give you a full 3 page write up including 8X10 glossy pictures on how it taste.

It sounds solid though. Can't go wrong when MO,Columbus, and simcoe are involved.
I did a Smash with MO and simcoe before and it turned out awesome.

Err Day IPA. I love this beer. Holy crap I made this beer. Had my Accidental light ale before and after. Runaway Light is my new bottled water.

Yes I only have one glass.

 

[RevKev]

Well it sounded to cool and it's tasty af View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1425430245.286171.jpg just went food shopping and ended up with only beer? How does this happen

When I built a counter flow chiller I started doing 60 minute hop additions again, prior to that I was doing my first addition at around thirty and my final addition at about -5hrs, when the wort got down to about 90. I don't recall what temp you stop getting bittering from hops, but I remember being shocked how low it was and recall calculating that I could do all my hop additions after the boil of cooling in the sink. Didn't experiment with that too much as it was a read that made me built a chiller the next day.

Some of my better beers have been when I forget to heat up the sparge water in time and end up mash for 80-90 mins. I don't know why though, I am just a simple caveman brewer.

Dr. Pepper with dinner. About to crack open either a creme brûlée or something else.

Ladies an Gentlemen of the Jury, your brewing conventional wisdom frightens and amazes me.
