Just got done brewing a Red Rye Ale, 1.066 SG. it has really nice color and a good hop profile for a red. I screwed up and over cooled it though and that's the opposite of what usually happens. I need a new thermometer I think my long stem one is way off compaired to my other ones. I'm using Wyeast 1450 Dennys Fav, first time with this yeast. Getting ready to pitch now.

1 oz. Nugget for bittering @60, 1 oz each of Palisade and Centennial @ 15, and 1oz each of Palisade and Centennial @ 5. It smelled good and looked pretty.

It feels good to be fermenting again.
Well, *I'm* not fermenting.....you know what I mean.

Finished up a batch of Nelson Sauvin APA/IPA (depending on how it turns out).

This is yet another version of this year-round beer but this time I'm going for a more "in yo face" hop presence than before.

Bottled my Fruit Wheat Beer, forgetting the batch priming sugar on the second 2.5 gallons, so I ended up bottle priming those (and removing the caps on 16 bottles when I realized it).

Just put together my first AG Pale Ale Recipe. I have never been a huge fan of Pale Ales but they are growing on me and can be a quick simple recipe I can keep in the rotation. Plus I get my bulk grain order tomorrow so I needed to make something with it!

Brewed up my first IPL on Sunday; a Rye IPL; 65% Pale malt, 16% Rye malt, 16% flaked Rye, & 3% light Munich malt. Used some Magnum bittering hops, Simcoe flavor hops, and Amarillo, Cascade, & Simcoe aroma hops. Pitched a S-23 Saflager yeast in that. OG was 1.080, & the yeast looks like it is getting a good start, krausen already started & temperature at 58 degrees in the fermenter.. I'm figuring on transferring to a secondary in 2-3 weeks, then dry-hop with a bunch of Amarillo & Simcoe hops.

I'm looking forward to tasting this one. I had harvested this yeast from another batch, so the quantity of the yeast was huge. Fermenter is sporting a 1" head of foam/krausen on top when I peeked yesterday. I'll post a picture in the first pour thread once it's done.
