I like to use a bit of white wheat in so,e of my IPAs too.
LOL! :lol: :lol:

Nice catch Beer-lord!
I didn't specify while I was making the recipe or notice that! In fact,
I had to hurriedly rework the recipe as 2.5 gal batch from a 5.5 gal batch
due to my LHBS being short of 2 row, of all things!
Three days is the appropriate dry hop time IMHO! :barman:

Brewed up some "Patriot's Pride" this morning.
1/2 lb carapils (steeping grains)
7.5 oz. BrewMax DME - smooth
1/2 oz. Liberty hops for 10 minutes.
1 can Patriot Lager HME

It was my first time using DME or a hop addition. Smelled fantastic. Looking forward to this one.

Bottled - Lime Cervasa that I had a clone recipe for. Sample had a nice lime flavor to it. I think this is going to be a winner for the warmer weather.

Would that be a strawberry blonde? 3:)

I'm brewing up another batch of my Heart of The Country English Brown Ale (notice the capital letters? :lol: ). But what a brew day it's been so far. :sweat:

First; I woke up to Ma Nature having dumped 4" of the white shat on us. Which the snowplow driver gleefully turned into 18" at the end of my drive. I have a "snow thrower" but most people in these parts call it a "shovel".

Then; My water heater went out. The @#$%ing thing is only two years old. And just try to get a plumber to come in and take a look at it on a Sunday! :x

I already had my grain ground so while the water was heating up to strike temp I went down to work on it. Then while I had the mash going I went down and tried to work on it some more. The pilot won't stay lit and when it will and I turn the unit on the whole thing just puffs out. The plumber I had talked to on the phone - but is un-able to come look at it - thinks it is the gas valve. So I'm having Center Point Energy (my Natural Gas supplier) come fix it. I have the necessary knives laid out already so he can remove the arm and the leg that he's going to charge me for the service call.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

I bottled my Amber BDG and my Baltic Porter last night. Today I took one of the free fermenters and brewed up a simple HME beer with a hopstand that I called "Punked Patriot Pale Ale" (posted it in basic thread). Will brew something else easy later this week before a boatload of dogs show up at my door and fur is flying.

Bottling a Hazelnut Brown Ale and brewing an IPA on Saturday. Looking forward to a much warmer climate here in Florida over the weekend and nice weekend of brewing and Super Bowl Sunday.

Bottling my 15-minute "Quickie Pale Ale" today and hopefully brewing a Kolsch using the MoreBeer Kolsch Malt on Sunday.
With any luck, I'm hooking up my Walking Dead Guy Ale to the gas this weekend so it's ready to drink in the next 2 weeks.
