I brewed an ipa yesterday (10 gal) with 16lbs dme, 2lbs steeped 10l crystal and hop schedule of 8oz Simcoe @60, 1.3oz Citra @30,20 and 10min. Finished with 1oz cascade at flame out. 1056 ale liquid yeast.
Plan to add some mango extract to the fermenter next week and keg it in 3 weeks.
Next week I'll do my usual arrogant bastard clone on top of the primary fermentation remains of the ipa.

Damn, lots of early hops. I now typically use 1-2 ounces at 30. Sometimes an ounce at 5. But the majority of my hops now are at WP and DH.

10 Gallon batches...
I brewed a Kveik IPA yesterday with Lotus and Mackinac hops. It's currently fermenting at 97° and the gravity dropped from 1.070 to 1.032 overnight. I will lower my magnetized dry hop bag after fermentation is completed and it's chilled down a bit.
IPA in the primary fermenter about to be transferred to secondary and my Arrogant Bastard clone now in the kettle will get dropped on the primary remains of the IPA.
I haven't brewed in almost 5 months........

Kegged it yesterday. I have more brewing though, I still have 3 open taps.
Looking to brew a Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale tomorrow. Just weighed and crushed grain (pale malt and rye).
After a slow start, fermentation is now rolling hard!
Weighed out grain for tomorrow or next. Unusual for me, I'm going to do an English Ale. Stronger than most English Ales but I require +6.5% for all of my brews.
