I just got some MI Chinook hops which have a lovely pineapple character, so I'm rethinking things.  Gonna with Mecca Grade Lamonta as a base, maybe 20% MG Opal (toasted) malt, a little bit of carapils.  Bitter with PNW Chinook, finish with MI Chinook.  WY1217 WC IPA yeast.

Happy Big Brew day y’all. In this photo mash is complete.  Close enough 5.43 pH (@ 20 min) to a predicted 5.4 and spot on predicted SG into the BK.  89.5% mash efficiency (BeerSmith calculation).

Starting the boil and waiting for the hop additions.



Edit:  Big Brew day complete. One of the most relaxed seamless brew days ever. Hit volumes and OG spot on.  Cheers everyone!

Beautiful clean wort into the FV:



Edit 2: closed transferred from FV to keg today. Finished at 1.012 with a 1.011 prediction. Not bad.  A nice 5% beer.

I'll be live on Facebook starting around 9:30 AM left coast time.  I'll also be on virtual events for Lallemand and Grainfather during the day. Stop by for a laugh!

Mead is all set and the yeast is pitched.  OG clocked in at 1.128.  And my glass raise at 1:00 was a traditional mead made with tupelo honey.
