Hi everyone,

This is a pellicle formed by the Brett strains to protect the beer from oxygen. It's a good thing!

Brewed up a quick SMaSH brew Sat. night.

5gal

6lbs of light DME, 1oz of Zythos at 60, 1oz of Zythos at 10, and 3oz of Zythos on steep for 20min, and however long it took to cool down. Plan on dry hopping with another 5oz. Should be easy drinking and quite tropical.

Making a 25gal batch of Kitchen Sink IPA with @Al-Loves-Wine

Turns out we had a whole lot more old leftover hops than I thought:
14 hop varieties totaling 102.8oz... All late addition or whirlpool. 

This is what 102oz of hops in the kettle looks like. We pointed the recirculating arm through the sides of the baskets and hop bag during chilling to get better utilization and ended up losing approximately 5 Gals to hop absorption.

I might skip the dry hopping in this one

Few weeks ago I made a Pale Ale with Australian hops Galaxy and Summer. These hops are very good and the keg went down real quick. I will definitely reuse these varieties.

This weekend I will be making a 5 gallon of double IPA with a pound of dark crystal and 20oz of hops (Centennial, Amarillo and Citra).

Brewing 10 gallons of pale ale with centennial, Amarillo and Nelson.

Set up outside instead of the garage

That sounds like a great mix of hops!

I was kind of guessing, as both Amarillo and NS are new to me. I went with 1.5oz of centennial at 60, 1oz each of NS and Amarillo at 15min, and then 2oz of amarillo and NS at flameout.

[robcoombs]

That sounds like a good plan. Nelson and Amarillo are great hops and I'd be interested to hear what you think of them together. Are you dry hopping?

I think one keg for sure, so I can see how much of a difference it makes. Then I might do the second after a while.

Bad planning.
