Almost halfway done boiling the Black Butte clone. I am not accustomed to hop additions under the ounce level. Measuring them in grams threw me a little. 24 grams of hops total just feels weird.
Well, I brewed up my Scotch ale on Sat.
Wyeast 1728 once again in the holster. Damn it, I made too much wort even after a 120 min boil. And I know this yeast needs headspace. So since I'm a genius, I split the batch between my glass car boy and a bucket.
Yesterday it appeared that high krausan had come and gone so I figured it was safe to transfer the bucket beer to the carboy lot.
So I did that last night *idiot* I actually know better, but was hoping for the best.
I woke up this morning to half a gallon of scotch ale on my basement floor.
10 second rule?
I did a BIAB Sculpin IPA clone on Sunday afternoon, my first brewday in a LONG time. It was so great to get back to it and I'm going to do another BIAB this Saturday. Thanks go to my wife for suggesting I go to the homebrew store last Sat and get enough ingredients for two brewdays. The "Wife of the Year" award has been claimed!
This Sat I'm planning on brewing the "Softer, Juicier, and Uglier APA" recipe by the Mad Fermentationist. He actually made three beers from the same recipe: a Berliner at runoff, saison before whirlpool hop additions and an APA. I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out the numbers using Beersmith and converting it to my 5 gallon BIAB system. I'm no mathlete, so it's proving to be a challenge for me. I also had the crazy idea of splitting the Berliner wort and making a Gose, but that would be a super long brewday.
I'm brewing right meow
All nimbly bimbly like? Drinking beer out of a saucer?
Brewing a SN Celebration Ale clone on Saturday, then a house pale ale with homegrown cascade hops on Sunday.
