Today was another double batch day. We are brewing a heffeweisen and an IPA.
The Hef is built from our tried and true recipe but we are using mostly pilsner malt and a Weinheinstephan strain of yeast. The yeast is really going gangbusters as a starter.
We missed our mash temp by 10° (low) and had to scramble to get it fixed.

The IPA was inspired by a prize from the NHC. Epic brewing of Utah awarded us a 5 gallon all grain IPA kit and instead of using it this weekend, we decided to use the yeast cakes from our Belgian blondes for a Belgian rye IPA.
3lbs of rye and 2 lbs of oats, plus some caramunich, biscuit and special B make this one of the most complex grain bills ever.
Lots of hops on a stupidly elaborate schedule add to the fun.
