Brewing a best bitter :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.

MY friend liked my Imperial Stout and I offered to make a brew with her so I'm tweaking my last recipe. Probably brewing this up Monday.

Brewed up a batch of Centennial Blonde on Friday. Have a whole whack of C hops, so a hoppy pale our a session IPA may be next. Have to brew for a bachelor party full of swill lovers, so some Festa kits may be on the block too (not that they are swill, just more palatable than a hop bomb for these guys).

I thought pix of your own beer were required to be in a Brewnoser glass!

I just kegged another English bitter - I can't decide wither to call it a "Best Bitter" or an "ESB" because it's intentionally ESB bitterness at BB alcohol content - and my first attempt at a White IPA. I started with a clone recipe for Lagunita Little Sumpin' Sumpin', but then I didn't have most of the right ingredients, so winged it. Went with way too much flaked wheat because I was out of wheat malt - then found another container of wheat malt after I finished brewing! But I nailed my numbers, and even dead flat it's tasting great.
Currently on tap: Whiter Shade of Pale!

In Primary: Nothing

I'm making a DIPA later this week and put on a starter for it today using San Diego Super Yeast. I haven't brewed with it before but apparently it ferments out super quick.

Very quick. I've seen it finish a 7% IPA in 3 days. Pretty crazy yeast.

I've read similar things about it. Crazy yeast is right.

Doing up a farmhouse ale tomorrow. Just can't decide on the Springtime in Amarillo recipe or this other honey and orange (peel) recipe. Learning towards the honey-orange.

If you're doing a Farmhouse Ale, I'd suggest the Springtime in Amarillo recipe for something more authentic. The other sounds more like a a Wit or something similar. What are you using for yeast?

Danstar Belle Saison. And for the record, the Springtime in Amarillo calls for Turbinado suagr, which I don't have. Brown sugar substitute?

I'd say definitely go with the Springtime in Amarillo recipe. That yeast should give you lots of fruitiness and peppery notes that might conflict with honey and/or orange peel.

Brewing an AIPA and a light ale on Monday. Slowly using up my Amarillo and Centennial hops. US-05 for the AIPA and WLP060 Am Ale Blend for the light ale. I used WLP080 Cream Ale Blend for the light ale a few weeks ago and it was quite good. Took 2 weeks for the sulphur taste to go away.
