Do you have a recipe for the citralaxy? Thinking about brewing something like this next.
I brewed 10 gallons of it, so I could bring 5 to Zapp's and keep 5 at the house. It was my first 10 gallon batch using a keggle with more dead space at the bottom than I'm used to. So, my volume came up a bit short. I'll have to make a few adjustments to my water and grain amounts, but this should get you a decent start. Half it for a 5 gallon batch.
15lb 2-row
2lb Vienna
2lb Flaked Wheat
1lb Flaked Oats
1lb Carapils
1oz Apollo - 60 min (or use any neutral bittering hop)
2oz Citra - 10 min
2oz Galaxy - 10 min
2oz Citra - 20 min whirlpool
2oz Galaxy - 20 min whirlpool
3oz Citra - dry hop 5 days
3oz Galaxy - dry hop 5 days
I was gonna use Wyeast 1318 (London Ale III), but the shop was out when I placed my order. Went with WLP013 (London Ale) instead and it turned out just fine.
Let me know if you have any questions.

So how was Zapp's? What were the best homebrews? How was Southern Craft's brews?
Was out of town all weekend.

Fantastic, as usual.

Mine.

The Redstick Rye was fine. Pompous Pelican needs more hops. That one gets a pass until they've brewed on the 15 barrel system a few times.

How were the hop notes on this? Interested if there are any different notes being that these are "southern" cascade hops, as opposed to the NW varietals.

I will need to re-evaluate. I was already way too far into beer drinking for the day and had a 2oz pour from a plastic sampler cup. It was darker and maltier than I prefer. I'll give it another try later this week probably when I can tell more about it.

Thanks B. Looks exactly what I'm looking for I was hoping it didn't have any crystal in it.

Just curious - why do you call it an APA? Looks like your OG is over 1080 and i would imagine your IBU is well over 90 with those hops. Is calling a homebrew a IIPA out of fashion right now?
Posted on 4/4/16 at 12:49 pm to leveedogs
dont forget that's a 10 gallon batch. OG was probably around 1.050

Ahhh. Everything makes since now. Thanks!
Got one IIPA in secondary (Simcoe and lemon drop) and one in primary (all Azacca). Wanted to know if I had to start calling them APAs now.

Yep, 10 gallons. Based on the actual OG and estimated FG (I broke my hydrometer after checking the OG), it was a 5.0-ish% beer.

I can't imagine you'll be in a hurry to replace that

I just drank a bottle of his spontaneous fermentation beer from 2013. It was pretty nice, and certainly interesting

Nope. I mean, it's gonna be beer, right?

This line of thinking gives me anxiety...

damn right, and unless you screwed up somewhere along the line, it's gonna taste good

Exactly. I've done it enough to know that unless I totally screw something up, it's gonna be pretty damn close to my planned OG and FG. I don't care if I miss by a few points either way. I'm not good enough to be able to tell the difference.

And at the very least, it'll get you drunk.

Finally carbed up... Extremely sour, brilliantly red (but clear) cleanly sour cherry flavored. This was a success
Posted on 4/5/16 at 7:49 am to Canuck Tiger
Do you guys have seperate taps for strictly sour/brett beers? My fridge/kegerator conversion is only 2 taps at the moment, and those will be dedicated to sach beers. However, i've been thinking about installing a 3rd tap and using that one solely for sour projects.
ETA: Canuck, that beer looks fantastic!

yes, I do. For my purposes, I am not sure it is necessary, but I figured it best to keep up the good sanitation practices
