I love when beers finish at that final gravity Nate!!

Kegging up an American Brown ale with some Chinook for dry hops.

brewing an all mosiac DIPA at the moment. grain bill 10# pale malt 3# white wheat 3# vienna 8oz cara pils

Made a pale ale today. Trying out some new hops, seeing what wonderful things may be.

Ended up going with the first Pale Ale option:

5.5lb Maris Otter
2.5lb 2-row (Rahr)
2lb Flaked Oats
1lb Wheat Malt (german)

1oz Zythos @ 20min
2oz Zythos @ 5min
1oz Azacca @ 0min
1oz Azacca @ dryhop
1oz El Dorado @ dryhop
1oz Zythos @ dryhop (maybe)

Wyeast 1968 (slurry)

Despite the grain bill, I only got 1.047 as the OG since I did some monkeying with how I milled it and did no-sparge. I tossed a gallon of water into the grain after and ran it out to see what was left, and I still got 1.030. I almost considered running out another batch of wort to make a second runnings thing with...but got distracted by LEDs.

Extract Pilsner and Gold (from Northern Brewer), Nelson Sauvin and Meridian hops (from NikoBrew), Omega Yeast Bring On Da Funk.
2 days into fermentation. Lots of tropical/pineapple flavor.
First brew since November.

How did that Omega Yeast turn out?

I'll be brewing an Alt Saturday if it counts. Haha.

A traditional Bavarian Helles.

My favorite style right now. Going through a German Lager phase. So much so I turned a Rye-IPA into a lager last week when I brewed. Looking for a lot of Rye character (25% of the grain bill). Pilsner base, American hops (Cent/Cascade). WLP830 Yeast.

A Helles Exportbier with WY 2206. Low oxygen style....
