Just some Briess pale 2-row and, this is funny, I still had a pound of sealed Willamette pellets that I bought waaaay back.  I think it was from a Father's Day sale at Hops Direct like back in 2012.  They still smelled good when I cracked them open and since I was doing the no-chill thing, I figured if they lost some potency, the wort will be stewing in it's juices while it cools down and getting more of that hop goodness/bitterness while doing so.  I had an itch to brew spontaneously and just decided to use what I had on hand and see what came out.  I used some (fresh) Safale-05 and even with pitching it around 80F, it still came out pretty clean and the bitterness is right where I was expecting/hoping it would be.

Twelve-year-old Willamette Smash Ale.  :lol:

Best part about this hobby. No matter what, you still make beer! :)
