3.5g White IPA 3.5g Wit =781

Split batch-WC Pale/Blk IPA.

@ThristyPawsHB Sorry for your loss. It’s sucks to lose them but remember your pup will always be with you in spirit. Good advice above. Cheers mate.

3g WC Pale, 3g CDA and 4g White IPA from last month =455

Brewed a split batch WC Pale and Black IPA (3g each) this morning. Racked the pale, added the steeped dark grains, more hops and a lb of DME to hit the Black IPA target. Samples taste good. Kept it simple with all C hops for both but Notty for the Black and S-05 for the pale.

HB Porter (based on Mad Kings Honeymoon Porter recipe). Great recipe. Tonight it’s the “regular version” without the pecans-bottle conditioned.

First brew of 2024. Just mashed in. Brewing a small batch White IPA-thanks to Andrew Simsak for sharing his recipe in Zymurgy (2021). I modified this for my system/batch size but here’s the original recipe.

Enjoying a Friday morning brewing a Helles lager. Halfway through the mash cycle. Another split batch. Half as my 2nd attempt at replicating Surly‘s Fiery hell with Puya peppers, hickory chips and half with just the hickory. My first attempt was a yummy Helles but not hot enough. Doubling...

Just tapped my take on Mad Kings honeymoon porter as a pecan version. Only poured a taster but super happy with it. Body is perfect and it’s a smooth with chocolate notes and hint of pecan. Going to let it mature a bit and looking forward to tasting the evolution.

Thanks Inkbird!

Welcome. If you are ever up North, I recommend my local shop, Bader Brewing in the Couve. agree with Wepeeler, I love my BIAB setup.

Brewing Bongo Yodelers version of Mad Kings Honeymoon Porter. Thanks for the recipe and inspiration, plan to rack half the batch with Apex pecan flavoring.

@Kent88 I haven’t tried other methods but love my Camp Chef pellet grill. Get great smoke flavor and bark when I want it. Here’s todays turkey. I got the sidekick as I like to reverse sear. Have had my smoker a few years now and super happy with how it’s holding up too.

Cheers. Having my HB version of Spotted Cow. Picture doesn’t do it justice. Pretty tasty. :)
