Gonna do a German pils using Mecca Grade Pelton malt.  Also using Accumash for the first test.

not a bad idea for a product if you need to use RO water anyway.  how much does it cost per 5 gal batch?

Keep us updated on how that turns out. Their malt names are so hipsteriffic you may have to wear skinny jeans and ironically smoke a pipe to brew with it. :lol:

This weekend, im finally going to take my 10 gallon system for its first brew day. Making an Oktoberfest, and going to split the batch between wlp820 and wlp029; one batch for now, and the other batch for the fall.

Finally getting around to the pils.  Using the Grainfather for a step mash.  Using Brewtan B and Accumash, as well as the Mecca Grade Pelton.

Plan to do a El Dorado/Chinook wheatish beer Friday after work and if all things work out a Helles or Pilsner early next week once a fermenter gets freed up.

No brewing this weekend but need a muse for the following weekend. Not sure if I want to make a lager or an ale, mild or APA'ish, yellow and bright or crystal'd and amber.... Indecision may or may not be my problem.

I'll get something in - off until 7/5.  Maybe another 25% rice beer for the end of summer.

Super smooth brewday. I racked the prior beer to a keg earlier in the week and harvested the 1056 and threw it in a flask and into the fridge. So today was a simple, straightforward brewday and with the fast & furious 30-minute boil... it was quick! Started at 3 and ended at 6:30 and I have a nice hoppy blonde in primary at the moment. Cheers peeps.

Thinking ahead to next week; a Pacific Jade, Cascade, Summer Aid :) Anyone use the Pacific Jades and if so, what's your thoughts?

They were popular for awhile and a number of brewers here used them. I forget their character... clean bittering but also used as an aroma hop for peppery, citrusy notes?

EDIT: I looked it up and see that it's a cross between New Zealand "First Choice" hops (a relative of Cluster) and a Saaz male. Interesting.

Definitely interesting, just using caution to a 5 gallon batch. Matt sent me a few Pac Jade IPA's and they were really good.

If you're squeamish, use them for bittering. If you're more adventurous, mix them with something else late in the boil. If you're total gung-ho about it, burst that sucker with PJ with unbridled enthusiasm! :D

Brewed a simple wheat beer on Wednesday, which will meet some raspberry extract in the keg.

 

A guilty pleasure, but tasty when summer hits.

I do this with McCormick raspberry extract that you can get from the grocery store. I actually have some of that in bottles right now. The extract is all-natural and one ounce in the keg is just right for a 5-gallon batch.

I think the rasp extract I use is LD Carlson(?); whatever the LHBS had on the shelf.

 

I've heard good things about the McCormick extracts; might have to try one sometime.

The homebrewer's extract made me look at other ones. Many of the McCormick ones are artificial which I would avoid but the McCormick raspberry stuff is natural and smells and tastes very good. This is the stuff that people use to make raspberry brownies and stuff... really tasty. I also looked at a place called OliveNation which has almost every flavor of extract that you could imagine. I ordered raspberry and blackberry. They arrived and smelled a little off. I didn't use them and I still have them. The McCormick stuff is solid. There is a thread around here somewhere that I started for RASPBERRY ALE. Good luck with it.
