Was planning to brew Subday, but I’ll be pushing that back to Monday due to polar vortex lol. I’ll be brewing a session IPA with an OG of 1.047, 80% Pilsner malt and 20% Munich malt. I’ll be doing a 90 minute boil and will hop with a 2:1 ratio of Azzaca and Mosiac with 1 oz total at first wort, 5 oz total at flameout, and 5 oz total to dry hop. I’ll be fermenting with WLP 001. Nothing fancy, but this will be my first session IPA.

My plan to push back the brew day might have back fired… Gonna kick Monday’s brew day off at -10 degrees. The torpedo heater will be utilized in full force!

Yeah, the weather has turned brutal.  Arse freezing cold. I would normally say enjoy the brewday, but maybe ‘protect the extremities’ is a little better. Weather like that demands a hot scotchy.

Thanks for the reminder. I used the last of the scotch last brew… It was about 4 degrees that day too. Off to the liquor store!

NB sent me crushed grain vs the unmilled I ordered. They are making restitution so I have a great chance to do an experiment with their vs my crush using the same recipe.

Belated Happy Birthday Denny!  I am brewing your Wry Smile Rye PA with 1450 yeast… Indoors on the stove top due to the crazy wind here today in Northern Illinois.

Tomorrow’s my birthday.

Happy Birthday. Is it true that with great age comes great wisdom?

@denny

Tomorrow’s my birthday and I had planned to brew like usual.  But I got asked by a local brewery to help out with their zwickelmania event (http://oregoncraftbeer.org/events/zwickelmania/).  That could lead to a consulting gig, so I’m doing that instead of brewing.

Congrats on the gig. How’d it go? BTW…Happy B’day!

Had a great time pouring Oakshire beers!

Blonde ale yesterday.  Session IPA in the mash tun right now… based on this one: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=11610.0

Different grainbill that I have been using for session beers, but same hop schedule.

Brewed up 10 gallons of Bohemian pilsner yesterday, cleaning out some leftovers while using new 2014 crop Czech Saaz.

OG 1.052

18 lbs. Best pilsner malt (last of a bag)
1 lb. crystal 10°
1 lb. MFB special aromatic (the last of that, too)

Mashed at 152°F for 90 min.

4 oz. Saaz 3.1% FWH
2 oz. Clusters 8% 60 min
4 oz. Saaz knockout

Boil for 90 min.

Split batch between WLP940 Mexican Lager and WLP833 German Bock.  Both chugging along nicely at 50°F this morning.

Then, that evening, after a delicious supper of goat shoulder roast braised in red chile sauce (made from toasted Guajillo, Ancho, Mulatto, Cascabel, and New Mexican Red chiles), I went to the homebrew club meeting where we filled two 30 gallon bourbon barrels from a nearby distillery with 1.090 doppelbock.

Sounds like a good day, chumley!

Just brewed four of five wedding beers with some of my old club members. Two buddies brewed one beer each and my other buddy and I brewed a double batch. It was a long day.
