Brew Batch #153 Not Old Spice

Slid into a keg today and man did that AMG work its magic! It is D-RYE. My only concern at this point is the hop selection. I may have come off better using different new age hops instead of Amarillo or even perhaps Comet. I'm hoping the orange of the Amarillo plays well with the tangerine and blueberry of the Comet and Mosaic, but I sense a touch of "comet grass" in the nose. Either way, FG 1.000-0.001@ 56F and it's an eye-popping D-BIPA (Double Brut IPA). May be the 1st of its kind?

Brew Batch #152 Reinke's Revenge 2020 CoViD Edition

Added 2 cups of pecan flour for a 2 week soak and kegged on maple and pecan flavoring today with a full ghost pepper suspended in a stainless strainer. My only concern is that FG 1.054+0.000@ 59F tells me the yeast may have petered out a little. Or did the flour add more sugar to the beer that the yeast didn't have tie to convert? Either way this will be a 10% peppery sweet libation. (just realized I never posted this as I was looking for previous notes 12/13/21😄)

Brew Batch #154 I Like Big Oats! v1.0

(and I can not lie) a little beta batch to see what Calypso, Loral and HBC 342 taste like with a big up tick in oats on the usual haze recipe. Loral has the Glacier and Nugget parentage with a floral/herbal perception, HBC 342 is a citrusy melon release with a possible Simcoe substitution and Calypso all over the place depending on where it’s used. I’m hoping they play well together but with all at alphas around 12% with decent myrcene levels it may be a pine bomb.  OG 1.070. 

Brew Batch #153 Not Old Spice

Enamored by the brut IPA, I tried one myself AND split a 10 gallon base with my buddy at OTB to do with as he sees fit. This one was a slight departure from my haze bombs with the addition of corn and no bittering hops. Instead all hops were post boil in a 10 minute whirlpool. I'll let this ferm all the way out then throw some AMG on it to really dry it out. Numbers were a touch better with OG 1.062+0.000@68F.
