What are you going to use to chill it, about 100# of ice? I do not envy the TX heat
Actually, 40 lbs...

Turned in the final draft of the book yesterday so now I get to brew! Gonna have to wait a few days til it cools down some, but then it's a Westmalle style tripel and a Rye pale ale with a ton of cryo hops.

I could be in a slump as well. Lots of other stuff going on and I am trying to force brewing in and just going though some of the motions. Need to step back and enjoy the process more.
Sounds familiar.

I love Combo-ing Simcoe with citra and amarillo.
I also, just picked up a lbs of Chinook, Am considering a midweek brewday...
Posted 29 July 2018 - 12:13 PM
Looks like Wednesday will be brewday.
Will be some kind of lager, as I'm brewing with an eye towards Oktoberfest.
Already have a (dopple)bock in primary, so either an O-fest or a Dortmunder.

Is this a "clone " of the Ale Asylum IPA or just the same name?
Posted 29 July 2018 - 05:54 PM
No clone, not even sure what that beer is. Honestly my wife named it. If I named beer it would be called IPA.Is this a "clone " of the Ale Asylum IPA or just the same name?

Going to try to squeeze in an easy one tomorrow. Thinking an easy-drinking summer-y bitter. MO base and maybe 4-5% of British C15 and the same amount of torrified wheat to 1.048 or so. A light dose of late EKG and Willamette and 1469 to bring it home.
Posted 05 August 2018 - 09:33 AM
I'm about to start sparge water for an Oat stout. Sticking to a 5 gallon batch for the first time in a while.
Extra skill factor as I try to cheap out and use the dregs of three different propane tanks.
