Old Rasputin clonish action. Nice Deschutes NEIPA...not over the top.
He has arrived, and we're home already.
Yay for first beer with baby boy!View attachment 586071
Not sure about the hops because those are such small amounts but I use more of a 50-50 split between the two row in the white wheat and maybe mash in a little warmer @ 154-156. Does seem a little dark but I'm guessing that was the honey malt. Maybe get rid of the honey mall and replace it with some Munich or Vienna or possibly aromatic to give it a little more body. Or maybe even some oats... looks like a nice beer in the pic thoughHB 6.5% Wheat but tastes more like a pale (too much hops)
It is darker than what the picture suggests
Grain: 64% 2row, 25% white wheat malt, 5% flaked wheat, 5% honey malt
1 gallon batch
Hops: 2g Simcoe at 60, 2g Simcoe at 30, and 15g Mosaic at flameout
Simcoe 13.3% and Mosaic 12%
Yeast S-05 (didn't want banana/clove so I went neutral yeast)
My thoughts are
a) Grain bill needs adjusting
b) AA levels were too high on the hops and used too much hops
It is a great light pale ale

Oh OK so how was that?PBR is good drinking beer anyways but that was their newer APA
Looks tastyMy latest cider creation - Blackberry Cider 6%
The berries grow in my front yard, and provided a very subtle blackberry flavor. It's amazingly refreshing when you're bent over a table at your job F888 it Friday

@jimyson have you ever harvested any of their yeast?
I’m going to harvest from Keybump with the assumption of high ABV tolerably. I’m just curious if they use a single house strain or multiple? The cans have a whole bunch of jive on the side and I’m way too old to understand that lingo [emoji12]
