Still here, just been too busy with spring things, kids, yard work, family gatherings – all leaves little time for brewing. Just around the corner I will be brewing again. In the meantime, I have been doing some recipe research and catching up on some Basic Brewing podcasts during my commute.
I do have my centennial IPA fermenting away and will be dry hopping next week. I ended up having to make this on a weekday evening due to rain-out on the one open weekend day I had planned to brew on. I am not too keen on brewing on a weekday evening – it takes the entire evening and with 3 kids – I can’t do it that often. So in the next couple of weeks I plan on getting a couple more brews going. Stay tuned.

Jeff,
I’m new to your blog, but have it bookmarked now! Come on…get back to posting!
On that note, how did the Centennial IPA come out? The Dry Hopping and so on?

Ha – yeah I have been slacking. I have already brewed 2 more and am brewing another this weekend. I will try to get them posted up this weekend.
The Centennial IPA is … ok … didn’t get a good citrus flavor I was hoping for, also not happy with the s-04 for the yeast – left too much fruity esters for my liking. Maybe next time I will try us-05 for a cleaner yeast profile.
