Okay, hold up. Beer #2 on my list may get scratched. I just kegged a "british blonde/English Summer Ale" and I have a number of other gold beers so my thinking is this... A Red Ale made with all RedX as the base malt and then 4 ounces of Special B and 4 ounces of Thomas Fawcett & Sons Dark Crystal #1. I used that crystal in the ESB I posted in the picture thread and it has some red in it. Bitter with Magnum and then a bunch of late Santiam or something along those lines. A 5%, SRM 15, IBU 35 Red Ale. Huh, huh?

 

Sounds interesting. Could go lager with it and be a smoother irish red.

Brewing a raspberry wheat tomorrow. Sounds like a winner, Ken.  BTW, how did the hopstand beer turn out?  I recall it was called Plan B or something like that.

In secondary and going to get some dry hops shortly but I have another dry-hopped beer on tap right now and I don't want to dry hop the PLAN B too soon. Sometime in the next week, probably. Then I have this Session IPA that will need the dry hops too. I need to space out these "quick-to-the-taps" dry-hopped ales so they don't sit around too long.

Hmm, yeah... interesting. I have WLP940 Mexican running at the moment as well as 2002 Gambrinus and then 2308 and 2124 waiting in the fridge. I also have some Mandarina Bavaria that could be used late as well.

German pils tomorrow the old fashioned way, followed by a tripel in the Zymatic
