Brew Report

Last week we made two beers. Carl and I made a APA, like the above recipe except I split one ounce of the cascade into .5, and did 45, then 30, and one ounce at 10. FG of 1050. Carl reported no bubbles as of Tuesday, but I think it finished before Carl got there. I'll find out tomorrow as I am going to rack then.

The RIS. Well, that thing when crazy go nuts. Tyler and I deviated from the recipe by using the Willette at 5 min, and we used Crystal 120 inplace of the British Cara. FG of 1090 I made a starter, and by Monday, the beer was busting out of the fermentor. So much so that Tyler had to do a blow-off tube.

Temps were in the 68-72 range at both places.

Had me 6 month (or so) EPA tonight. Seemed to really maintain it's flavor. For some reason, it was way carbonated, and over flowed from the bottle. Tasted fine, a really malty subtlety. Bought all the ingredients for the Russian Imperial Stout today, and sounds like an ESB or a Amber in the works also.
