I've used it twice, once it went from 1.052 -> 1.010 (@30C) and then another from 1.043 -> 1.004 (@35C). I think I might adjust for it to finish a little lower though as I'd rather have it around the lower side of 6% than 7%. I'm assuming the higher fermentation temp might have something to do with it finishing lower.

I need to brew something different. Anyone have suggestions I have Nelson, cascade, Chinook, citra,  Eldorado, falconers flight, Simcoe  and willamette hops grain I can get easily. I am drawing a blank lately for what to brew for something different.

Hoppy Saison, Nelson is perfect for that. 3711 is a great strain if you're unfamiliar with brewing the style.

I've been itching to brew, but it's been so cold that it's just not feasible for me in the unheated garage. I still haven't talked the wife into a brew room in the house, either!

This weather makes me thankful I can brew in a nice warm room with my electric system.

I'm brewing up an IPA to try and make it seem that I am in a tropical place vs this winter heck hole! :chug:

If you have something you want brewed let me know my system sits idle a lot

Took advantage of the warm weather yesterday and brewed for the first time since October! Made 7 gal of a NEPA. 70% 2 row, 20% oats, 10% munich. All Azacca hops. I didn't have any boil hops, just 4 oz of whirlpool hops. I've never tried the whirlpool/steep method before. I didn't plan out a starter so I wasn't able to use LAIII. I had a pack of Mangrove Jack Liberty Bell Ale yeast (M36). We'll see how that turns out!

I brewed up nice a simple Amber Ale today. 70% 2 row, 11% carared, 9% amber, 5% crystal 40, 2% chocolate malt. 1 oz Columbus @ 60min and 1oz centennial @ 15min.
And I must say it was great to brew something so simple. I've only been brewing NEIPA's and overly complicated brews for so long I miss just brewing a simple beer. No hop stands or starters of liquid yeast just dry us-05 and let 'er hang...
I miss just brewing simple brews just for fun. I was done in less than 5 hours instead of close to 7 like normal. I hope it turns out good. I'm kinda getting tiered of all the extra steps involved with NEIPA's. It's a shame I love them so much....

First brew day since I made my entry for the xmas exchange. Brewed a brett saison with a blend from escarpment. 15 minutes left in the mash and suddenly I realize I haven't taken any temperature readings. I guess thats what happens when you're trying to brew, cook dinner and change a baby's diaper 3 times in a row. Oh well, hit all my numbers.

This weekend I'm gonna brew 30 hectoliters at the Garrison in Halifax of a Wee Heavy. Should be interesting...
I hope it'll be available here in NB this early spring. If not I'll try to get enough for us all to try.
:cheers:

If its anything like you're xmas exchange beer it'll be phenomenal! Up until then I don't think I've ever had one I liked before.
