oh I can see them but I have to go through some hoops.  FB I have no way of seeing.  I usually only jump through the hoops if I really need to though ;)

Got it!

At least it worked good for you.  I hope I will be back to my normal trick latter this week with a quick IPA.

Bumping this thread cuz i can.  :D

 

Just put a nice English IPA into the primary: mostly Pils, with some Munich, c-60, and Victory malt, for an abv of ~7%.

 

Magnum for bittering, and EKG for FWH, 10-min addition, and a 25-min hopstand, for ~80 IBUs total.

 

US-05 will handle the heavy lifting in the primary.

Last Thursday Ironkite and I both took off work, braved the heat and, picked  8 lbs of Cascade.  That's two 5 gal pails full.

68 pounds of grain.

Magnum bittering.  The  usual Centennial, Cascade and Amarillo for flavor and aroma.

We cut back to 60 minute mash with the wet hops and a 30 minute boil after attending the Brulosophy seminar.

Sparge to 14.5 kettle volume.  Second sparge another 14.5 gal.

28 gal into conical. Temp control to 65°F with US-05 on a stirplate to step up.

Stirplate motor froze and burnt up about an hour prior to pitch.

 

I think the beer will be OK though.

Oh yea, two ounces of whole leaf Cascade in a hop rocket.

What am I thinking? I'm hosting my club tomorrow for a garage brew on the face of the sun in Coconut Creek, FL. Besides doing a 10 gallon Mandarina Bavaria Pale Ale, I intend on holding a workshop on the finer points of keg and bottle washing. Quality :) Beautiful wife is making pulled pork and BBQ brats. Sitting on about 12 gallons of beer I expect to be destroyed.

Went off pretty well. In fact, there was a great breeze coming off the ocean and kept the heat to a comfortable 90. I put up a tent in the driveway off the garage, had several fans circulating, plenty of beer and about 10 members showed up bearing beer and watched me sweat and brew LOL. Great day all around.

Fellow MALTS member wanted to show 2 of his buddies all grain.  We did 10 gal robust porter.  Hit all the numbers.  

 

He wanted to know why we started at 6AM.  By 11 AM he knew.  Extreme ball-sweat.

I'm brewing a pale ale similar to the American Pale Ale thread I just posted in the recipe section. Hops will be Nugget and then 2 ounces each of Crystal and Glacier in the last 15 minutes. Cheers.
