Pics from our first-ever homebrew

Posted in Craft Beer by Larry Koestler on February 11, 2013

We brewed Brooklyn Brew Shop’s Everyday IPA, though we swapped the tiny amount of Columbus and Cascade hops the kit came with out for 3 ounces of Citra and adjusted the hopping schedule for a very aggressive late/post-boil hop. I also intend to dry-hop with another ounce of Citra in 2 weeks. Our hallway closet now smells like someone smashed a case of Zombie Dust in it, which is pretty wonderful.

Citra. ‘Nuff said.

Boiling the wort!

The waiting is the hardest part

    Awesome! Welcome to the club. Love the smell of Citra. I bottle my saison on Sunday.
