Thinking of it, as an experienced Dad you now the elbow trick for the bathing water temperature for the baby. That's also the perfect mash in temperature for a classic decoction.

Decoction mashing. Ruining Olan's repeatability since... Well, since he started brewing. :P

Just got done boiling a gallon of first runnings for 50 minutes. At least that one's repeatable. Feels like I'm making wort candy....

I love doing that.  My boil is nearly done.  Got derailed for some time as my mother came over...

Pitched and in the chamber. You're moving fast by your standards tonight.

Tell me about it.  I'd be in the chamber, too, had I not stopped to shoot fireworks.

Beer in the chamber just before 12:30 AM.  I did take a long break to eat supper, watch Shark Week with the kids, and bake spent grains bread... after all, the boil was done.  

Also, Sam Adams Double Agent IPL?  Another nicely drinkable beer.  The Whitewater IPA sucked (lots of floating chunkies in it, overly bitter for no good reason, tasted like sucking on orange pith), but this one is pretty darned good.

I made my first and likely last partigyle batch today. 

11Gallons of IPA and 5.5 gallons Session Pale Ale from the grain... which became - really fucking session clocking in at a whopping 1.032. An ounce each of Motueka and Amarillo @ 5m and called it a beer. 


Still, was pretty happy to have 15 Gallons of beer in the pipeline, and be 6 hours from when I opened the garage door to when everything was cleaned up and put away. Also Made myself a brew stand yesterday.

Next time I make a "big beer" I'm going to partigyle it into acid beer for blending. I just need to find a super acid tollerant lactobacillus.

A local pro brewer told me he has a strain of lacto that can get to 2.6 pH. That's what I want. Something nasty sour that I can use for blending like Council does. He wouldn't tell me what strain of lacto it was or how he got it to do that though. He indicated he adjusts the brewing water in a certain way to favor the lacto, but I'm not sure if that just mean pre-acidification or what.

Why wouldn't he share the information/process with you?
