I am on the brink of not having a beer to serve at Zapp's, unless I serve one of the sours that I have hanging around. I didnt get the brew in on Sunday as hoped and it looks slim for this weekend. Too much shite going on at the new house and the lack of electricity in my new brewhouse makes evening brews impossible.

We had to back down to one beer instead of two for Zapp's... planning on brewing this Saturday then rushing it through to have it ready in time.
Sort of snuck up with Iron Brewer last weekend. Oh well.

That sucks.
Pulled the yeast slurry from our pale ale last night to add to the IPA we're going to brew this weekend.
Trying out this method after reading the Sloppy Slurry vs Clean Starter exBEERiment you posted the other day.
Before I would just pitch onto a yeast cake. This method helps out with some timing problems we're dealing with as well.

Saw that they're having an Embrace the funk fest up there in May. You're going to attend I'm sure?

Maybe kick the rye up to 7-8%. I don't get any rye spiciness below that. And personally, I would double your hop amounts and then maybe add some more.
Seriously, whatever hop you think is going to give you the grassiness, I would add 1 oz at 5 minutes and 1 oz at 1 minute.Posted on 3/4/15 at 9:36 pm to Zappas Stache
I'd go 75% 2-row, 15% Vienna and 10% rye

Well, if I really say what I'd do, mine would probably be closer to 20% rye
You getting any sprouts yet?

haven't checked in a week but not so far. I took a handful, wrapped them in a wet paper towel, into a ziplock and into fridge. I'll let those sit for a few months and try late summer. Sometimes they need a cold period before they will sprout.

Yeah I'm not familiar with all those hops but it seems like you have the potential for some of them to clash.
Might restrict some of them to just the ones that should have that flavor you're looking for.

Well, i have a reason for using each. But i get what you mean about clashing. I don't want to get too muddled. Made an ipa once with too many hops and you really couldn't get a single distinct flavor.
Here's my reasoning for each hop at each addition.
Galena FWH - clean bittering
chinook @ 30 - additional bittering, some spiciness
northdown @ 15 - little bit of spice and cedar flavor. Minor bittering addition
mosaic @ whirlpool - lend some spiciness and mosaic tends to enhance/compliment other hops
topaz @ whirlpool - grassy aroma and flavor. May add this at 10 minutes also to increase flavor profile. This is my star hop for this ipa.
chinook @ dry hop - spicyness and a little pine aroma
Palisade @ dry hop - grassy/apricot aroma
Topaz @ dry hop - grassy aroma
Looking at that, i think i'll make some changes.

I don't know how much of that you'll get out of palisade. Ended up with lots of it when I was buying kits still and haven't been able to get rid of it all yet.
I throw it in the middle of other hops when I make IPAs sometimes but I don't think it's really that great.
I'd probably take the Chinook out of it too and leave yourself with just these non-traditional hops.
