That's a very tasty beer! :cheers:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Brewing a wheat beer based on Hop Sun but using Galaxy instead of Centennial throughout.

My boil kettle ssr or pwm gave out, so I had to do some quick reconfiguring to use my HLT SSR with pid. I had to learn how to use the PID in manual % mode on the fly thanks to Google. Brew day was saved.

was going to brew today but I feel like garbage so I'm just settling for a bit of bottling - going to bottle condition a belgian blond, might beer gun off some of my session-marzen thing for the exchange too.

As soon as I get a spot I can brew indoors I'm going full electric. Tired of propane brewing outdoors.

Best decision I've made regarding Brewing. Exceptional efficiency in the whole electric process.

Been doing several Vienna smash beers recently. First one was 4 kg of Vienna hopped with 100 gr of Nelson, 30 min boil with small addition at 30 and rest of the hops at 5 min and whirlpool. Followed same procedure last week, except with Mosaic, and mashing in on an El Dorado version this morning.

Great session pale ale that let the hops shine

I would suggest the grainfather but I can't see you jumping that far down on batch size. It is pretty space efficient though.

Sure thing.

100% Vienna, up to O.G of 1.042, works out to around 4 kgs using full volume mash in the grainfather for a 21 liter batch.

mash at 67°C for 60 minutes

30 min boil.
10-15 g bittering addition at 30 min, up to 25 IBUs
50 g El Dorado, Nelson or Mosiac at 5 min
50 g El Dorado, Nelson or Mosiac at flame out, whirl pooled for 10 minutes

US-05 at 19°C

Keg and serve

Moderate dry hop addition would probably make it even better :rockin:

Derek, do you have plans for batch #100? Seems like a pretty big milestone.

Just polished off my keg of IPA tonight, bottled off the other keg (munich hallertau SMaSH lager for the session beer exchange). Now I have two empty mini fridges (normally use one for kegs and one for ferm) and nothing on tap (just belgian blond and the SMaSH lager in bottles) - work seems slow this week so I might get to brew two batches to fill those fridges. Might even do a third batch at ambient, but then one of the batches would have to be something I'd want to bottle condition.

It's been busy here. Bottled my session exchange last week and brewing my contribution for the DIPA SMaSH exchange tomorrow. I've also got an empty keg that needs filling and another one will be empty shortly.

A Kolsch from which I am using a 2nd generation of WLP092. I haven't re-used yeast in a few years now. Now with the price of everything brew related going or gone up, I think it is about time I started to re-use yeast.
