What's Brewing: November 2018

Took my brown porter recipe and imperialized it yesterday. More like an imperial porter now. The wort tasted like nutty, bitter chocolate graham crackers. Can't wait for this one to be done. I'll likely split the batch and dry bean half of it with home roasted coffee.

I see mainiacal is releasing dried kveik soon. I'm stoked. Can't wait for the framgarden/stordal strain.

Kveik is also super easy to dry at home. Just top crop and put a fan on it. It will dry super dark. Stuff kicks off in about an hour in 100*f wort. 1 gram per 5 gallons

Word? My guess is you lay it out on a sheet or something while drying?

Yeah just parchment paper in a cookie sheet

Harvesting yeast for the last brew of November. Aiming for 2.5-3% so hopefully it will be done so I can chug a ton for new year's.

Kegged my first Homebrew since February! Gravity started lie but yeast dried it out nicely and I have a 3.9% SIPA!

Beer ended up at 5.5 Plato so I'm expecting around 2.3-2.5%. Added Belle Saison yeast as well and it's currently ripping away at room temp (77 degrees) and smelling great. Hope I can bottle soon so I can drink half the batch young and condition the rest for a while.
