Finally brewed last night. Weeknight brews are just so much easier for me to pull off. Started heating the strike water at 5:45, went for a run during the 60 minute mash, ate dinner during the sparge, and helped my daughter with her homework before starting the boil. Even with that half hour of delay before I could start the boil, finished up by 10:45.

Here's the recipe. It's based on Drake's Aroma Coma, but I subbed out some of the hops they used for ones I had on hand.

9 lbs 2-row
4 lbs optic malt
1 lb flaked rye
8 oz C-15
1 oz Apollo 60 minutes
1 oz Cascade whirlpool
1 oz Citra whirlpool
1 oz Chinook whirlpool
1056 yeast
1.5 oz Amarillo dry hop 4 days
1.5 oz Citra dry hop 4 days
1 oz Chinook dry hop 2 days
1 oz Citra dry hop 2 days
1 oz Simcoe dry hop 2 days

Plan to brew tonight too now that the wife is in town full time.

Last time I did more of a 30 minute mash and 30 minute boil and it turned out just fine. Will probably do more of a normal schedule tonight.
