My Own IPA- Batch 27

Bombay IPA Bottled, Batch 21 Brewed

Saturday I brewed a remake of the Righteous American, which would be my 21st batch of beer I’ve made.  We wanted to give it some extra kick without spending any additional money, so I added more hops.  Instead of the 1-1/2 oz of Cascades, I used 1oz Cascades and 1/2 oz of Chinook.  30 minutes …

Just made a traditional bitter (whatever that means) and an IPA.  I totally cheated, used the can-o-extract.  But I want easy to make, quick, drinkable beer.  So those were good options. Also got ingredients for an American hefeweisen.  They had ingredients for a pilsner, which looked surprisingly like the last beer I bottled.  Yummy!

What To Brew Next?

Friday is payday, and I’m planning on brewing some more beer.  Question is, what should I brew? I’ve been toying with doing an IPA, since I love IPA’s.  I love stouts too.  I like bitters.  I love a good porter (I had a terrible one at the Horse Brass two weeks ago- it was like …
