not sure why, but after several months without brewing, I always wonder if i will dork something up on that first batch; forgetting something, missing targets, etc.
well not today brew gods! mash temp, PH, OG, volumes…CHECK ;D
good to be back.
Well done Ken. I hit all my marks on Tuesday on my first batch since the end of May
i guess it’s like riding a bike 8)
using amarillo for the first time. 1oz each centennial and amarillo at last 15min, 1oz each cascade, citra and amarillo last 5 minutes. going to dry hop with some cascade and amarillo also.
Welcome back and Amarillo is my favorite.
Sounds tasty, man !
I haven’t brewed since April myself. Life’s too darn busy. I did get my local malt share recently so I need to make it happen. I need to make a hire at work that is taking longer than I hoped and an addition to our house is taking up a lot of time. Once I get my department full strength I’ll probably take two weeks off and spend some of that time brewing.
That sounds like a glass I could appreciate, perferrably with some of those ribs you make. I’d be curious to hear of the results of the Pure Pitch you used, I’m swamped at work as well and this could be a welcome development.
yes it would be nice for the unplanned brew day or just because it works pitching a pack w/o starter. mine was 1.050 OG- we will see. not sure at this point if i’d go up to 1.070 as it says.
I haven’t brewed in two weeks and it seems like an eternity… Gotta clean some kegs to empty some fermenters, then back at it next week…
poured my first glass from the keg. i am really digging amarillo.
I really like Amarillo it has a wonderful citrusy flavor and aroma like orange/grapefruit. It also works well in combination with other hops.
Really nice with the centennial, cascade and Citra I put in this one.
+1. Combines well with pretty much any ale hop like a champ.
