 NEW BREW

This is my newest brew. Its all-grain with mostly 2 row and some chocolate malt and dark oak chips. The hops used were zues & citra. Intensely bitter but beautiful. Smells like oranges. That's 2 ounces of citra dry hopping in top! Life is too good somtimes.

Nice, I like your style. Dry hopping just let it float on top and to do orange citrusy notes with chocolate that sounds really good.
But hey Cover That Carboy! Maybe you already do but if not ALWAYS COVER YOUR CARBOY. I either use a t shirt or wet towels if trying to cool things down. Or in extended storage put the carboy back in the cardboard box I saved. The airlock sticks right out the top ez pz. Just do your untaped box overlap.
Anyway I LOVE chocolate malt! Use it in just about any porter or stout without exception. The British chocolate malts Munton's or Bairds or Crisp are good.
Yesterday I was looking at all the Australian/NZ hop varieties there are now! It was on Rebel Brewer newsletter pretty interesting. The one had Simcoe notes which is always a good thing.

I never cover the jugs. that's a dark basement its in. Nice and cool and dark. I do usually throw a rag over the airlock so fruitflies don't crawl in the little breather holes . Yea man I dry hop brews constantly. Love the impressive aromas when you open one! Its cool to talk to other brewers! If u guys ever wanna exchange ideas...I have some really awesome belgian ideas and a knockout raspberry pilsner called the cats razz that will impress even a non beer drinker

Nice mang!, I just bottled my first dry hopped brew, it smells incredible!! It's called hippity hop pocket  not my recipe though.. Between the boil and the dry hopping it was 6oz of hops!! My only issue is I ended up with a fair amount of hop debri n my bottling bucket. Next time I'm gonna attach a piece of cheese cloth to the inside of the spicket for a basic filter.

Cool cool.
Well my fruit beer thing is free wild blackberries. We are rapidly approaching said time. The blackberry stout is the ticket. I will look to combine that with my fresh garden hops. That will be my entry in the local beer contest this year. Unless I get lazy and just dry hop a big hoppy American Barleywine that has been aging over a year now.

I've brewed a few things with chocolate and im a huge fan of it. It goes well with rye. One of my favorite recipes I've done was a Mexican chocolate stout I brewed with Chocolate malt, 93% cocoa chocolate shavings, and just a smattering of ancho and arbol chili powders.
