That was a good read. I like your point about the mistakes making you a better brewer, because it's true.

What's your process for keg hopping? I did it for the first time on the weekend with a multi layer cheesecloth sack. Just waiting for the keg to resettle now but I'm thinking of upgrading to a voile sack or tea strainer ball.

I go ghetto. Weighted muslin bag, tied to the outside with dental floss. 8) If you go tea strainer know that you may need more than one, the last thing you want it to have to pack your hops in tightly and not have them utilized.

10oz, that's a boatload of hops! Looks tasty though, I think I may steal this recipe :D

I used to think so too. But 8-10oz is standard for me now, and it's only a 4gal batch.

Man it's hard to believe how different the appearance on those two beers is!
I feel I'm now converted to the NE versions of the pale ale and IPA... the west coast style doesn't do it for me anymore!

Wouldn't be easier to buy 5alive instead? :lmao:

New blog post on my Big Spruce competition entry a NEIIPA

Great read!
I still think that you got someone else's review... That beer was fantastic!
-
I wouldn't pay much attention to what they said man. We all know you make great beer.
I used to enter competitions all the time but after getting so much contradicting comments on score sheets from so called "BJCP judges" I just say to hell with it.
All that matters is your happy with it. I know we are...
:cheers:

I was thinking about how many people tried this beer. I don't know who else did at the meeting before Christmas. But otherwise at least 10 people I know of tasted this beer. Of those 10 only 2 got the onion/garlic and those were the two BJCP judges.

I was one of them as well - garlic / onion - that is absolutely nutz... I'm leaning towards the "beers / reviews mixup" explanation...

I've been thinking of brewing a darker beer, might toss this into the mix along with your recommended changes. Did you plan on upping the base grain or some of the other grains to up the %?

I would just increase the base grain. The roasted percentages were high enough in my opinion.

I enjoyed this beer the other day, but can see how it would be too much coffee when it was newly brewed, and for most people who like a normal amount of coffee flavour.

Awesome post as usual. I was always under the impression that actual watermelon never left a lot of flavour because its mostly water. Would there be a way to concentrate it?

I wondered the same so I contacted Shane Steeves about his watermelon wheat, which I think has a good amount of watermelon character. I added the same amount he uses. Concentrating it would be an option I think. In the end it may just come down to how much flavour is in the watermelon to begin with.
