Anyone brewing this weekend?
Bill and I are going to do a double mini-mash of oatmeal stout.
Anyone else putting something together?

Brewed my first all grain
I brewed my first IPA all grain recipe. Went down to Alternative Beverage (ebrew.com) and picked up
12 # 2 row pale malt
8 oz CaraPils
12 oz of Crystal 60
1 oz Amarillo (first wort hop)
2 oz " " (60 minutes)
1 oz (30)
1 oz (15)
I batched sparged got a little bit less than 2 gallons on the first running (water at 165F and the bed was at 156F). I then sparged with 172F water (bed stayed at 156F) and ended up with 6 gallons of wort.
Let's see how that turns out.

Yes this was my first AG beer. The OG was 1.050 (at 100F) the corrected gravity is 1.056. I didn't check the gravity before the boil, so I am not sure I know my efficiency. From what I am told, batch sparging is pretty inefficient.
I used S-04 dry yeast, first time using dry yeast. It is supposed to be like the whitelabs' english ale yeast.
It takes a bit more time but the getting the wort out is so rewarding.
Thanks.

Lupulin Threshold Shift
lupulin threshold shift \lu·pu·lin thresh·old shift\ n
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
