I think it was originally supposed to be an IPA, but the hops are pretty muted now.

Brewed up 5G of a session IPA yesterday and it's chugging away nicely right now.

Bottled this. Still pondering what to make next. Maybe a hoppy psuedu-saison.

Brewed a 6 gallon batch of hoppy saison with 5# pils, 5# pale, 1#flaked oats, a bag of 5L candi syrup, 1# of very light Viking crystal malt (it may as well be carafoam as far as color, but has more sweetness), and 2oz each of Cashmere and Wakatu hops, all of them effectively "whirlpooled", nothing in the boil, will use Bella Saison, which is why I threw in the oats and crystal, since it's going to ferment out stupid dry and I wanted something to play against the lime & tropical stuff besides "dry", and wanted it to have some bit of mouthfeel.

I haven't brewed in a long time. I've got lots of grains and lots of hops.

I should schedule a rest day and brew.

This morning I brewed another of the 5G Beer. Simply Beer recipes from Midwest Supplies. This one is an American Wheat and then day or so before bottling, I'm going to add some crystalized Mango flavoring. We'll see how that turns out.

Just starting the boil session on a Munich Helles. Did the steps, although not required with the modern modified grains of today but, I enjoy doing it. Seriously, I do believe it adds more depth/flavor to the beer. I've done this same recipe as a straight ale, it's ok but, having done the step, I can tell a difference. It will ferment out at ~54 degrees, picked up a new but small chest freezer for this. Carboy barely fits, it sure is small but it will do the job. :-)

Yeah, I like them too. The beer almost always turns out fine and tastes like Beer! The recipes are affordable and sometimes you can catch them on sale even.
This morning I brewed a Simply Beer Brown Ale, I've brewed this before and it turned out pretty good.

I bottled this. As usually Bella fermented the crap out of it, that stuff can eat anything. 0.997 FG.
