Brew Batch #31 Extra Pale Ale

My first batch at the new house and it went off without a hitch. I just bought a new burner setup off of Jamie Ray (former OAA current MBP brewmaster) and this thing is hot! 100K BTUs. Took a little while to get the settings right but it heats up nicely. Not sure if brewing on the back porch is my thing since it was a little windy which happens to catch the burner flames so I may try the garage but in the summer that will be stifling and I don’t want to leave the garage door open because what I do here is still illegal. Archaic constitution. Great Cascade bite on the taste, OG 1.036+0.001 @71F. This is one of the beers I hope to have on tap at the wedding, had to slide something in there for the BMC drinkers.
