I just kegged my most recent hoppy beers on Saturday, and drank a couple pints of both yesterday. Lots of experimental stuff going on in them.
Beer 1:
Golden Promise plus some white wheat and a touch of carawheat with S-04 English yeast. Used 3ml of Hopshots for bittering, then 1oz each of Citra and Eukanot cryohops at flameout. Dry hopped with 1oz each Citra, Eukanot and Mosaic cryohops. Used 2:1 ratio of calcium chloride to gypsum. Surprised that it's not hazier, but it doesn't bother me at all. Smells and tastes great.
Beer 2:
All pilsner and carapils with 4oz crystal 40 for color. 7ml of Hopshot for bittering, then 1oz each Citra, Amarillo and Centennial hops at 10 minutes and flameout. Dry hopped with 2oz each Citra and Amarillo, then added 1ml steam distilled Chinook hop oil at kegging. US-05 yeast. Used 2:1 gypsum to calcium chloride. Was hoping for more of a West Coast IPA. This one is hazier than the pale ale, but it does have more of that classic West Coast flavor. More bitterness for sure, but I enjoy it.
All in all, I'm really happy with both beers. Will definitely use the cryohops more. It certainly improved my yield. The double brew day allowed me to split up the 10ml syringe of Hopshot between the 2 beers, so that was nice.

My spontaneous beer continues to ferment. Smells pretty bad, tbh.
This past weekend I brewed with a friend to see his BIAB method. I liked it. I ordered a brew bag to give it a try this next weekend.
