Since Jaime loaned me some equipment after his wedding I have made 3 five gal batches. The first was supposed to be a hopdevil clone and although was not even close It was very good and it is gone. The second brew was similar to the first except different hops were used. As it turns out I used my bittering hops where I should have used flavor hops and vice versa. Regardless, the IPA is on tap and is quite good. I am trying to save it for a potluck dinner this weekend. If it is gone I have some Old Rasputin on hand. Last night I brewed my third batch. I used 13 pounds of pale ale malt and no other grains. After consulting Jaime for some hop advice, I decided to hop it as follows. 1oz millenium at 60 min. 1 oz cascade at 20 min. 1 oz cascade at 10 min. 1 oz UK Kent Golding at 5 min. 1/4 whole flower of something I had at 1 min. The last hop addition was left over from my first brew. The whole flowers clogged up the system but I was finished by 10:30 pm. I ended up with an og 1.067. At 7 am it was bubbling once a second and is sitting in the corner of the kitchen. I'll soon decide where to put it. Thanks to Jaime for helping me along the way. Cheers!
