[bike2brew]

Sounds good. Otherwise I say brew what you will drink. I have had my Amber que'd up for a couple weeks so it a no brain'r

Well a friend’s bbq just popped up in the calendar two weeks from now and that means tomorrow its brewing day. Its already warm and sunny here in spain so it’ll be a 7%abv NEIPA.

I dont usually brew dry hopped stuff but sunny time calls for hoppy refreshments!

Yesterday I brewed a beer with the intention of using up my overstock of grain . 12 lbs white wheat
2 lbs flaked oats
2 lbs pale ale
7 lbs Pilsner
2 lbs Bonlander Munich
1 ounce liberty hops at 30 minutes
1 ounce of citra at 15 minutes
3 ounces sweet orange peel and 3 ounces crushed coriander at 5 minutes
2 packets of Us 05 at 68 F
I guess I call it a blue moon summer ale , we’ll see in 2 weeks, no doubt it should be good.

Finally getting around to brewing my smoked porter that I've had the ingredients for since February.

Four gallon Amber ale on Saturday. Still dialing in my SVBS. Pre-boil gravity came in low despite steady mash temp @152. Pre-boil volume @ 6.5 gallon. Finished with 4 gallon @ 1.053, rather than predicted 5 gallon @ 1.059. I'm thinking tweaks needed to more grain and less water, increasing flow rate in recirculation, and reducing boil intensity from 95% to 80-85%. Nevertheless, fermentation is proceeding nicely @ 1.031 today. Also, noteworthy the refractometer and tilt readings were in agreement @ 1.053/4 given my eyes ability to resolve the little lines. Every brew is an experiment and an effort to reach the null hypothesis.

Brewed an American Lager on Saturday at my club's Big Brew Day. Used malted corn for the first time, which caused me to miss my OG by 7 points, but have to say the aroma coming out of the kettle was amazing, sort of combo of a freshly made corn tortilla and a fermenting pizza dough.

I brewed a Brown Porter yesterday. I’ve never used brown malt before. I was surprised how much it smelled like coffee.

I'm gearing up my lager stock for the Texas Summer, so on deck this weekend is

I got 11 lb of Belma at the So Cal fest last weekend and I brewed a single hop IPA to 65 IBU. Anyone have any experience with Belma?

Yesterday, actually, but it was the start of the weekend. Brewed an American Wheat Ale with my SIL. He’s done some brewing in the past but,with a demanding job and a side gig to keep him busy, he doesn’t have a lot of spare time. He enjoys having half a day, or so, to not have anything to think about besides beer. Well, between work related phone calls, anyway. His phone rang about every 20 minutes.

My daughter’s family is here for the weekend; her husband’s nephew graduated HS today.
