It ain't too cold to Brew!

John and I knocked out a Rye IPA today. It was cold as hell, and somewhat problematic since the water line froze at one point. We were shooting for 1.073 and hit 1.071 (adjusted). 10 oz of Mt. Hood and Columbus.
It was a good brewday. Going to try again on Sunday for a Bitter.

1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

Like Andy said, I like your set up. Looks exactly like where I am going to be next year about this time. Just need a keggle HLT and a pump and ... you get the picture.
With the Columbus and Mt Hood hops it sounds like Denny Conn's RyePA recipe. I brewed a version of it last year about this time and it didn't last until spring. Enjoy!

Very excited indeed about the RyePA. It is blowing off like crazy(thank you for the yeast Shane)! Smells outstanding! The brewery works like a charm,. Will be up early today to start on the bitter. As always company is welcome!
Cheers!

It was realy freakin cold today. The sky was dropping ice pellets on our heads as we finished up the brewday, but it was worth it. Bubling away nicely right now, and will be blowing off before morning.
Cheers!

Awesome job guys. I would have stopped by today if I had thought you guys were brewing... Not many would have tackled such a project on a day like today. It is too easy to rent dvds and veg. Gee, guess the men were seperated from the boys today-- well, at least you were John<g>.
Congrats, look forward to stopping by and tipping a few of those in a month or so!
