I just want to say that this past Saturday I had an awesome brew day.
I've been insanely busy the last few months working my 2 jobs and completing post-grad study. I've been under a tremendous amount of pressure and I feel like I haven't had a chance to think or enjoy life, let alone plan a brewing day. But this Saturday I decided if I was going to sit around all day and write out another damn assignment, I was going to use those 4-5 hours to brew as well.
I had just enough wheat malt, smoked malt and pils to do a smoked wheat. I found 100g of chocolate malt in the bottom of my grain-box so I threw that in as well.
I hit all of my targets dead-on: Mash temps, Boil gravity, post-boil gravity. The post boil sample tasted thick, almost milkshake-like. I'm quite intrigued to taste this one in a few weeks. As I type this, my creation is happily fermenting away under a think layer of kräusen. In 2 weeks, she goes into bottles for carbonation and I can enjoy the post-grad life!
That is all.
