Indeed, now if only I had a 5 gallon keg of it instead of 2.5. That was the intention with the pale ale I have that tastes like cleaner...argh. Not sure wtf happened there.
I'm looking to get a brew bucket soon so I can close transfer into the keg like I do with my 2.5 gallon kegs. Plus, stainless is better than plastic.

Pale ale with 98% Vienna and 2% special B, cascade and centennial, 1028 yeast.


what kind of impact does the 2% of special B have in a pale ale. I've never thought of using it in that?

I think it adds depth and character, you know that little sumpin-sumpin extra (except way better than Lagunitas...well what isn't better than Lagunitas?). Not sure what the color rating on the special B is, but this beer is probably 7 SRM when Beersmith said it should be like 9 SRM. Low oxygen makes for that lighter color. But I'm also wondering what the typical color rating on Special B is.

huh, might have to try it. At that percentage, do you get many of the prune juice/raisin notes special b tends to kick out?

You know, I'm not sure, but I'd think probably in the 4-6% range. This wasn't quite high enough amount for it to come through, or at least stick out anyway.

My latest APA. I'm really digging this beer. New malt bill of 75% two row, 20% Munich, and 5% C60. I think this will be my new APA bill in order to differentiate a bit more from my IPA bill. 3:1:1 Cascade:Citra:Amarillo at FWH, Whirlpool, and dry hop. Killer combo. This beer has cleared much faster than another beer that I've ever kegged. The only fining I used was whirlfloc. The secret might have been discovered by accident. I accidentally froze all of my kegs in my keezer solid by accidentally leaving the temp controller probe out of the keezer. It Screwed with the carbonation a bit, but was easily corrected. The beer was this clear about 3 days after tapping. It might end up Being my new practice except I'll do it before carbing.


Is that Mork and Mindy?

Ordinary bitter:

These were my first two attempts at using all that LODO stuff.  They are about 2 months old now and are pretty tasty.

Risk of failure should be no deterrent to trying.
