Brewing Activities (2020)

Just dry hopped 10 gallons of SN’s Resilience IPA, and turning up the temp to 68 for my Irish Blonde. I’ll probably keg Resilience Sunday or so

 

Made one of my best fruit beer recipes yesterday. It is a wheat ale that I haven't made in year but it has always come out very tasty. This version is getting put on to strawberries and I went with a slightly different hop profile of belma and citra to see if I could get hop flavor to match the fruit flavor.

Currently planning to sell my house and downsize so this may be my last brew for a while. Had to go through the hops in my freezer and throw out some of my oldest stuff. Sad to lose hops but had collected way too many hops!

 

Brewing a small batch Sabro/Mosaic hazy pale tomorrow.

 

Brewing a Wit today and my helper has arrived.

 

Today - Dry hopping a couple of IPA's.

Tomorrow - brewing my first American Brown Ale. Very loosely based on the AP Brown because I'm using all gluten free malts and I can't use the same yeast. But, I approximated the malt profile as best I could. Using same hopping schedule and fermenting with
S-04.

 

Hazy pale ale this morning.

2-row/Vienna/flaked oats
Vic Secret/Galaxy - most at flameout and DH
S-04

Hoping for 1.050/1.013 and around 5%

 

Back on the low abv project,,,,so,,,, a whole hops session pale, wednesday

 

Currently replacing my beer lines, which are about a year old at the moment give or take.

Will be kegging up my Wit tonight that I brewed on Saturday, which will be ready to get into the keg for spunding later this evening about 3-4 points from FG. Will be carbing up to about 2.8 vols. Planning to tap this coming weekend.

 

Dry-hopped my hazy pale w/ Sabro and Mosaic this morning. Went 1.057 -> 1.022 in under two days with a healthy London III starter at 64F, so I'm actually DHing a bit late, but whatever. Had a nice fluffy green krausen when I opened it up.

 

A little late posting, but brewed my house IPA recipe last week (Citra, Simcoe, Chinook, Columbus) and a wild fermented Quad that will eventually see dried cherries and raisins.

First time using a mixed yeast combo on the IPA, Omega DIPA and British V. Smelling incredible already.

Quad recipe is one of my favorite beers I've made to date. Similar to Lost Abbey Cuvee De Tomme or BFM Bon Chien. Aged for 6 months on a mix of port and bourbon soaked spirals.

Thursday I should be bottling a Brett Pils lightly dry hopped with Saaz and a Brett Pale ale dry hopped with Citra and Pacific Jade.

 

These all sound wonderful

 

Kegged up the Wit... FFT shows a FG of 1.012, finishing right on target at 5.2% ABV. Really dig the flavor profile, it came out really great! Can't wait to try this chilled and at it's proper carb level.

 

Just brewed a lager with 2 row and victory. Hopped liberally with willamette and fermenting with imperial global at 50. Will lager in keg for weeks.

 

Just got a starter going for a Belgian IPA- Omega Saisonstein. Going to hop with Azacca, Amarillo, and some leftover Citra. Also adding some orange zest post fermentation. This will be the inaugural batch with my new Ss Brewtech brew bucket too. No more less than safe closed pressure transfers with glass carboys!

 

Racked IRS and added oak and sugar maple wood

 

Going to make maibock today. Target 1.064 OG. 71% Pils, 29% Munich (both Weyermann). I think I have some Tradition that will work for hopping. S-189.

 

Added the first of two dry hops to my hazy pale ale on .... Wednesday, I think. Days are running together a little bit . Vic Secret / Galaxy

 

Kegged the American Pale.

Brewing up another NEIPA using Voss Kveik, Sabro, Bru-1 and a bit of warrior.
