This week has been full of preparations for our first brew day of Summer 2011. We are excited to be brewing our popular Golden Hour IPA. Our recipe has gone through some minor changes and is dialed in for a great tasting beer that will be most excellent to drink on hot summer days!
Some of the slight tweaks being made to the recipe are:
- A reduction in the amount of first wort hopping
- An increase in the amount of finishing hopping
- We will be adding Summit hops (18% Alpha)
- Our grain and base malt will all be from Great Western Malting Organic Company
We’ve been using a new iPad brewing app called BeerAlchemy to help us plan, organize, and create consistent recipes for all of our beers. We’ll be using this program on brew day.
Today, Kent Moore will be traveling to see our friends at Brew Brothers | Home Brew Products to pick up the supplies for Sunday’s brew. We are excited for a great time of fellowship with friends, perfecting our recipe for Golden Hour IPA, and brewing some outstanding beer!
Cheers!

Looking forward to a great day! We are really fine tuning our IPA and it promises to be our best yet! Hopefully we will have our bbl fermentor in time for our next brewday in August! Stay tuned!
