I do plan on a stout in the not too distant future, but Guinness is one of the few stouts that she doesn't care for.
Last week I did a apa/apl. There different extracts and steeped simcoe, chinook, and centennial. It's gone from 1.050 to 1.016 after a week at upper 40s f with S-189. I expect another two or three points, after which I plan to dryhop with German cascade, wai-iti, and glacier.

It's down to 1.012 and I'll be dry hopping in the next two or three days.
The hydrometer sample tasted nice.

I recently got the go ahead from the editor of Zymurgy to do a Last Drop piece on no-boil brewing for the Nov/Dec issue.

I bottled this on Monday: yummy 😋.
And on Tuesday I brewed a batch of IBUless hazy session IPA that I'll be serving at a brewfest downtown on the fifth of July. This will be the first year that homebrewers will be included.

Bad news (kind of):
I just found out that this piece is being pushed back to the Jan/Feb 2020 issue.
Good news:
At the same time I got the go ahead for a feature article on extract brewing.

Hi all

Rather than start a fresh thread I thought I'd add to this one.

First off, @Rookie, I hope your wife's recovery is progressing well? I'm due to have a valve replaced myself when the doc says my condition has reached the stage that requires action. Not looking forward to it but it's something that has got to be done.

Anyway, I usually brew all grain but of late (for one reason or another) I've done quite a few kits. The two can/big pouch types that give you 2.5-3kg of malt extract and to be fair, they do make a very drinkable beer.

As regards the process of these no boil brews. Simply put is it basically.......
Mix malt extract with some boiling water.
Add some iso hop extract (if required).
Top up to brew length and pitch yeast.
Add dry hops via your preferred method for additional flavour/aroma.
Keg and enjoy.

Sort of a deconstructed beer kit if you will? It's something I will give a go in a few brews time but I just ordered another 3 kits last night :lol:

Cheers. Tom
