I brewed a 6 gallon batch of export strength (6ish percent) Scotch Ale.

307 days would be perfect if it was a Bugfest sour / Flemish Red/Brown or such!

Are you doing the sprint or Olympic distance? Maybe I can jump into one of the Time to Tri heats if I can resolve my various nagging injuries. Otherwise maybe I can show up and cheer you on. I have a friend in Milwaukee that I wouldn't mind seeing anyway.

I bottled the hopped "Session Braggot". It went to 1.011 and then just stopped. That is actually lower than I expected, since I mashed the pils at 158, even though it was 40% honey. I just bottled from under the krausen, because it wasn't going to go anywhere it seemed, it just turned into...

I think 2023 age group will be in Milwaukee again.

Dude, if you think Notty is nuts, if you ever use Verdant, you will have fun times. I've still got 2" of krausen on my Braggot and it's been 12 days now.

Jarrylo for me is nice in wheat beers, saisons. Something that you want some very mild fruit vibe (and it's very mild). If you use a yeast that makes banana esters, it especially works well. It probably would work ok as a hop in a fruit forward hazy IPA, but it would have to be mixed with other stuf...

Yeah the velocomp works like an aircraft speed/power sensor, if the position shifts then the angle is wrong so it can't properly consider gravity, the wind entering the sensor is coming in a different angle which affects pressure readings for speed/acceleration. All that can make it completely whack...

What's the purpose of toasting and steaming the oats? I've used oats before, but I've just used them raw. Was trying to turn the oats into something more like "Golden Naked Oats". Sort of like a nutty crystal malt. In my case the nutty worked for sure, not so sure about the crystal malt b...

It sounds like your powerpod isn't calibrated right, if you shifted the angle of it at all on your bike since it was then it's reading the "gradient" incorrectly. It should work ok.

When I used the Wundergrains, I didn't decide what it would become until after I opened the bag, smelled it, tasted random bits of grains, then mashed it. Because I had no idea what the wort would taste or look like until after I did all that. The smell and taste gave me starter clues, so I could po...

Since I have a hella lot of Citra to use, I brewed a Zombie Dust clone. I bottled this. I had very limited ingredients on hand, just one bag of crushed malt and some raw organic honey I got 50% off on Woot. So, I tried something that is either going to turn out awesome or crap we will see. A 5.5 ga...

Curious: What process are you using for the flavor? Do you add to fermenter, or do you add at bottling?

In bottles, and is going to be great!
