A decent NEIPA. Not as hazy nor ā€œjuicyā€ as some I’ve had.
Citra and Mosaic… same as the one I kegged this weekend. Still waiting for mine to carbonate.

Stopped at Other Half FLX with the in-laws. Ordered some stouts, a Brett IPA & a triple dry hopped Citra IPA. Followed by an experimental West coast Pale Ale.
Then the sour late at night prepping food for dinner and lunches tomorrow. That sour was pure tropical juice with a slight tartness.
 
Tonight, I'm trying another cocktail that caught my attention for some reason. A Wisconsin-style Old Fashioned. (they make them with brandy instead of whiskey) Muddle a sugar cube, slice of orange, maraschino cherry (the cheap kind, not Luxardo) and several dashes of Angostura bitters. Add ice, 2 shots of brandy, and top up with Sprite or Fresca or seltzer, etc. (I used diet ginger ale because that's all I had except for tonic water) Garnish with another cherry and maybe an orange slice (I just did the cherry) This has potential. I need to get some Fresca or Squirt for the top-off. I tried another one with just more ice and brandy to fill the glass and it sucked until I added a splash of ginger ale. (it didn't take much to fix it) Who knew that a drink could be too strong to taste good?
 
HB Raspberry Wheat. Came out a little more dry than anticipated
Good looking product. Did you back-sweeten? I'm not sure how else to get it just right because of the sugar in the fruit that gets fermented.
Had a mango/raspberry wheat from the local micro and, boy, was it spot on. I think they just wanted to tease me.

Appreciate it - I did not back sweeten. I added the raspberry purƩe near the end of fermentation, around 1.014 and let it sit for 7 days. The sweetness is just right. Recipe and process below if interested or if anyone has feedback:

I operate on the Clawhammer 120V system:
4.5 gal into fermenter
OG: 1.050
FG: 1.010
ABV: 5.3%
IBU: 22
SRM: 3.8
Mash: 152° for 60min and mash out @ 170° for 10
Boil: 60 min

4lb 2oz 2-Row (44.3%)
4lb 2oz Briess Red Wheat Malt (44.3%)
8oz flaked oats (5.4%)
5oz Acidulated Malt (3.4%)
4oz Rice Hulls (2.7%)

0.2oz Amarillo (8.2%) @ 30 min
1oz Motueka (7%) @ 5 min
1oz Sorachi Ace (13%) @ 5 min

WLP001 from harvested starter

2.5lb (0.55lb/gal) Oregon Fruits Raspberry PurƩe near end of fermentation (I added at 1.014) And let sit for 7 days before transferring.

Ferment at 66° for 3 days then let rise to 68° before adding fruit, sit 2 days, up to 70° for 2 more days, rest at 65° 3 days and then cold crash.

Neutral water profile.

I finished around 1.007-1.008 and that could be based on the timing of my fruit addition.
