This post will be short and sweet, as it is late and I am tired.
Brewed the aforementioned IPA tonight. Had a small boil-over, but otherwise things went well. Here are the deets:
5.5 gallons
6# American 2-row malt
3# British 2-row malt
3# Munich malt
.75# Cara-foam
.25# Crystal 60
1.5 oz Amarillo pellets - 60 min
.9 oz Simcoe flowers - 10 min
.5 Summit flowers - 10 min
2 oz Summit flowers - knockout
(1.5 oz more Summit flowers for dry hopping later)
hit 1.072 for gravity (surprisingly high, but right where I was hoping)
anticipate around 75 IBUs
Yeast was wy1056 (beast) - cropped & washed from my last batch (a pant-load of it)
60 seconds of 02 & off we go
Sweet dreams, brew children

Reflections on: the preparation and consumption of food, the brewing and having of beers, things that are really awesome, some other things that suck, people we like/hate, and generally whatever subject we can type the cousin-slapping bejesus out of on any given day

I still remember when I came home and The Beast was playing my Wii and wearing my Mets jersey. Boy was I impressed!!
word. This guy sat in my fridge for a month; I was somewhat concerned of its health, but since it was BEAST I didn't even both with a starter, just warmed it & pitched. It took off a little slow (8hrs) but still pretty amazing considering
You should have used AHLYV OYUL!!!
