  1. I don’t think you can tell much through feel about a brisket that’s chilled to a few degrees above freezing.

     

     

    That’s why I hide all of the briskets at heb behind the canned veggies and go back the next day to check which one is the most pliable.

  2. So I feel like my summer is slipping past me and I haven't even brewed once.  Tomorrow, I'm brewing with whatever I've got laying around and I think i've got enough to make a tasty ipa.

     

    grains: Plenty of 2 row, some rye malt, some crystal 60, some carared and maybe even some flaked oats from the pantry.

    yeast: us05 packet, 34/70 packet, washed denny's fav

    hops: half ounce of apollo and brewers gold, plenty of cascade and citra

     

    I'm thinking 12 lbs of 2 row, 1 lb of carared, and .5 of c60.

    Bitter with the apollo and BG to get around 35 ibu, and then start hopping the shit out of it at 10 minutes including some hefty dry hop charges with both cascade and citra.  Probably use the 05.

     

    Thoughts?  Is the carared and c60 combined (right around 10-11%) too high?
