Assuming nothing comes up to pull me in a different direction, I’ll be brewing an Azacca/Mosaic APA - simple grist of 2row, vienna and english med crystal. furthering my ‘pseudo-drauflassen’ yeast pitch trials…
I’m brewing something on Sunday, but I haven’t figured out what yet, other than 1272 for the yeast. Maybe a Citra APA. I love buying grain and hops in bulk.
No brewing for me. This weekend is Oktoberfest Zinzinnati: Celebrating with our sister city Munich! I am going to try to bottle 5G of saison somewhere over the weekend. Just read that Boston Brewing company is going to be tapping a rare keg of their Kosmic Motherfunk Grand Cru on saturday at the festival. Anyone ever had it? Should be brewing Bock next week: 50/50 Munich I&II with a touch of carafa 1 for some color
Yesterday I brewed a Belgian something in the vicinity of a pale ale to blond. It’s just pale malt but too gently hopped to call a pale ale and imply a more assertive hop character. It’s hopped with belma and spiced with coriander, star anise and lemon peel. It’s happily fermenting away with 1214 right now.
That slurry will in turn be used to ferment a kettle soured Belgian stout and then in turn used to ferment a BDSA that will get some cocoa nibs, vanilla and noyaux.
Brewing an imperial stout today… Barley Crusher grain mill wouldn’t spin the second roller, the temperature thermometer battery died, and I’m sure a few more hiccups are in the queue. It is a beautiful day to be outside brewing in NC.
Try taking the rollers out, clean them with a wire brush, and flip the second roller 180 degrees prior to putting it back together. Should help get the rollers moving well again.
