I'm off with a random beer today. I was going to brew an Imperial Stout tomorrow, but some of the bits from H&G haven't arrived, so I thought "what the hell, let's use up some open ingredients...."
So today's mystery beer is "Hip Hop Hound" kind of American Pale Aley in style, but with lots of lager malt plus some munich, crystal and torrefied wheat that needed to get used.
Hop schedule is a belt of 9.3% Amarillo first, then flavour and aroma hops using a mixture of First Gold and Bobek to use up some open packs from the freezer.
Yeast is US-05.
Mash has been in at 66 for half an hour. It'll be a 90 minute mash and a 90 minute boil.
Fingers crossed.
No brew porn yet as the missus has the camera.
