Is that a simultaneous double brew day or back to back?

Mashed for 10 gallons and separated prior to boil. That took long enough!

Same thing I did... Had two boils going at once from the same mash but I forgot to take the double boil off into consideration so it threw my numbers off, oops
Give a man a beer and he'll waste an hour, teach him how to brew beer and he'll waste a lifetime.

I did the exact same thing but luckily realized before starting the boils and was able to adjust.

I've been really busy lately so I've been putting a lot off and its starting to catch up to me. Today I brewed a pretty simple Weizen and a 1 Gal recipe to try and clone limberlost from the dreggs I collected. I also FINALLY finished vacuum sealing all my hops that were in big 1 lbs bags into 1 oz bags and I'm planning on bottling 3 batches or more batches.

Its 7 p.m. and nothing has gone wrong yet. Pray for me.

Prepping for brew day tomorrow. A session IPA with Citra, Galaxy, Equinox, and Brett C  :banana:

Love that style for the summer. Something that's definitely on my list coming up.

What do you normally do for hops on the Am. Wheat? I used Amarillo at 60 minutes for about 27 IBUs, but I've been reading about many using more late addition hops in this style.

Also, I didn't plan very well and only had S04 on hand. I'm fermenting at 15.5 (60f) hoping to keep the esters down. I forgot how aggressive s04 is!

I tend to use additions at 10, and flame out with steep,and skip the 60. Not to say that's the right way to do that style, just what I do.

Ditto.. I've turned into a big fan of American Wheat and Wheat IPA's fan lately. My next brew day will be Session American wheat... Great summer beer!

I typically use no bittering hops (or very little) and go a bit heavy on the late/dry hops but that is just my taste preference. I tend to stick to my favorites (Amarillo, Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic) for a "tropical" hopiness.

I usually split the batch into two fermenters and dry hop the hell out of one and let the other one ferment dry-hop free. It makes a good light beer to have on tap for visitors who aren't big on "bitter" craft beer or to have a few on hot days...  Adding artificial fruit flavoring works really well in them too (my wife loves her blueberry or peach wheat beer).     :cheers:

Are you fermenting with US-05? I've been looking at a few of the 'American Wheat' yeast strains.
