Brewed a 6 gallon batch of Lavender Wit Beer.

This coming up weekend I'm going to brew an amber using 100% Red-X malt. I just need to figure out the hop schedule and actual hops to use based on what I have on hand. Nothing over the top, just a nice, easy drinker.

I apparently did an oops and used my spare 4# of RedX in this instead of my spare 4# of Viking Extra Pale.

So this is now an Orange / Amber colored Lavender Wheat Beer. Or something. I'm going to do half of it with S-05 and the other half with T-58 so it's differentish because why not, it's already now an experiment.

Back when us-05 was still us-56, I accidentally used T-58 instead of US-56. It made for an interesting beer, mostly because it was so different from what I expected. I didn't realize what happened until I got around to the batch I intended for the t58 and it wasn't there.

Bottled this, it looked, smelled and tasted like a wit bier so I'm happy.

Nice. I was able to brew my Amber using Cashmere and Southern Passion. No hop bomb here, hoping for a balanced easy-drinker to let the malt shine, too.

I bottled the T-58 half of my lavender wit bier. Which I though I mistakenly used Red-X in instead of Viking Extra Pale. But apparently I was wrong. I have no idea why the wort looked so dark colored almost amber when it went into the fermenters now. If you saw the picture I posted of the fermenters side by side you can see how dark one of them looks, that's what it looked like coming out of the mash & boil.

But it bottled very pale like an actual wit bier.

The US-05 half looks like it is the same color now in the fermenter. I'll bottle the US-05 half sometime in the next few days.

So, I have no clue what is going on here. But I think I still have Red-X now, since I don't see how that could have possibly faded to pale yellow.

Bottled this Czech Pilsner and Lager for6 weeks. Used WLP 802 Czech Budē Jovice Lager Yeast
Very Clean and smooth.

So many places to go...The Bulldog would let you keep your Beer glasses for every Beer you drank on Wednesday I believe. Left with 6 glasses once.
Liquor is considered Essential....So is Brewstock
:cheers

This was also properly pale when I bottled it. So yeah, why was it reddish amber when it went into my fermenters?

Anyone have a clue how that can possibly happen, with the exception of magic mushrooms, which I swear I was not partaking in?

I've got nothing for you, mashani - sorry.

Well, I took the red-x that I actually did have, mixed it with some 15L and 120L crystal, fuggles and first gold hops, and made 3 gallon batch of ESB.

This one will not turn out pale. I hope LOL.

I kegged my Four Point Pale Ale this morning. First batch since late last summer. Looking forward to this one.
