Today I brewed 11 gallons of all Citra Pale Ale - 1.054 OG, 30 IBU's calculated plus a 30 minute hop stand got me maybe around 40 IBUs.  Hydro sample was yummy.  I'll dry hop with Citra too.

I've tried Widmer's Citra blonde. Not bad, but a little on the catty side for me. Makes me wonder if it's a Citra thing or a widmer thing?

Friday I did 10 gallons of weizen and 10 gallons of IPA, heavy on the mosaic.  Smelled great going in to the fermenter.

Jim, there's a pretty strong consensus that it's the 60 minute, maybe even the 45 minute additions of citra that can give it a cat pee flavor.  I've made versions of this a couple previous times, avoiding a 60 minute addition, and never got any cattiness.  This 11-gal batch I went with 1.5 oz. FWH, .5 oz 10 minutes, 2.5 oz 5 minutes, and 2.5 oz at flameout, followed by the hop stand.

This approach has had me smackin' my lips waiting for a new batch when the last keg kicks.

Thanks I may try as a late add sometime

Yesterday I planned on a Summer Cream Ale. The plan went a little astray when I took my fist reading in the boil. It was way high. Started scratching my head to figure out why only to discover the recipe was for 7.5 gal not 5 gal.
No worries, just ran the boil as planned then added back extra water to get to my SG of 1.052 and split the batch. 5 gal with WLP080 and 2.5 gal with WLP013 (only thing I had saved from earlier batch).

Brewed a CAP with the Huacek's today, as part of their 4 brew Sunday. Can I say it was fun?

If you have been to NHC, you would recognize Joe and Andy.

Fixed that   I can't believe they did 40 gallons today, but it helps when you have 2 mash tuns and kettles.

My bad.

Along with 2 mash tuns and kettles, a jumbo HLT so there is always hot water.

They had 100 gallons brewed for the Octoberfest party, now 140. They have a lot more to brew. When you coming?

I thought I had a busy weekend, until I saw some of your schedules - I made 10 gallons of pilsner on Saturday and racked out of primary to keg 25 gallons (2 ten gallon batches of pilsner and a dopplebock 5 gallon) then on Sunday I brewed 10 gallons of an amber lite lager, racked 10 gallons of Flanders Red to an oak barrel (5) and a glass carboy (5), racked 5 gallons of a dry cream ale to keg, adding malto dextrin (needed a little more body) and corn sugar (priming) in the keg, and thoroughly cleaned my system, while smoking two racks of ribs.  Harvested yeast from all primaries.  It rained, so I didn't get to the yard work....but the wife is out of town, so no worries there.

First day of vacation. Was going to paint the house but it's raining. Lost my cream ale to a broken spigot so maybe I'll be brewing a cream ale today. Might bump up the ibu and call it a blonde

I kegged a 10 gallon split batch of Premium American and Mexican Lager on Friday. Saturday brewed an APA hopefully along the lines of a Mirror Pond.  Hit my numbers and volumes spot on so was pleased with that.
