Getting ready for a late morning brewday. I plan on mash hopping, first wort hopping, and a &^%$ load throughout the boil. Details will be in the film.
Here's the grist:

14lbs. US-2 row
.5lbs Caramunich
.5lbs. Honey Malt
.5lbs. Crystal 15L
Hops: Cascades, Cascades, Cascades!!
O.G. 1.067

Loved the video. Made you look like a classic west coast hop looney. Oh wait a minute....

Cool video - a nice bit of fun!

You kind of reminded me of Henry Rollins, except... a Henry Roliins who loves beer. Really loves beer.

Love the recipe!

I am planning on doing a Cascadian Dark Ale on Tuesday and wanted some insight on mash hopping. (sorry for any thread hijacking involved...) :twisted:

Do you notice any difference from mash hoppping vs first wort hopping? Smoother bitterness? More layered hop flavour? Would love your insight as I have always drooled over your recipes... :D

DING DING DING!

I'm all ears. Fresh thread methinks as I'm doing a ton of homework on the CDA style and it will be my next brew.... my long-suffering aspirations to knock out a Lambic take a beating once more!

I drank a couple of CDA's in Idaho this last weekend. Widmer's W10 and Deschutes, Cascadia Dark. Both were excellent. Very interesting style.

I took a gravity reading on the Harvest. It's getting close. Gravity was at 1.022. I'm going to dry hop it real soon. The sample I had was excellent.
Nicely bitter, with tons of grapefruit rind and citrusy deliciousness. I'm going to do another Harvest Ale soon. It'll be with Chinook. Got tons of
'em.

Ok, in exchange you pay for and arrange the shipping for a cask of Landlord. :=P

The Cascades were apparently not that strong. It's hoppy, but not as hoppy as I anticipated. It's dry hopping now.
I'm going to rack it into the keg tomorrow.
