Just started to dip my toes into brewing. The setup I'm using is the Vevor 10 gallon electric all in one, the first brew I decided on was a Hazy IPA. I thought for sure I'd fuck something up, but DAMN is it tasty. I used 9 lbs 2-row, 2 lbs golden promise, 1 lb flaked wheat, 12 oz flaked Oats. Hops were Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy. Did 2 dry hop additions, kegged it Thursday and tapped it Saturday after carbonating at 30 psi for 36 hours. Here is the second pour from this batch.....my first attempt at brewing.

Edit: Yeast was Wyeast 1318 London Ale III

Pretty ambitious to go right to full-grain brewing. I am still doing extract brewing mostly because I don't have space to store much equipment. It is a fun hobby and it sounds like you have a pretty good handle on stuff. Brew on!

My first home-brew was a clone of Black Butte Porter, and it was awesome.  I haven't done much brewing lately.  Thanks for the inspiration.

That was how I was when I got into bbq. I read everything I could, watched the masters of the craft all I could to learn, and jumped into the deep end. Just how my brain works, I get immersed in something and go all in or nothing.

That looks very drinkable. Well done!

I just tapped my Spotted Cow Clone last night. Really close but not exact, I'm thinking I need to work on my water profile a bit for this one. Either way, a nice easy drinker...

I also have a wheat beer fermenting that I plan on adding blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries to in the secondary. Just wondering how you all do your fruit additions, in a muslin bag or just dump them in...

I brewed my fifth beer yesterday (3rd all-grain) and it's a Hazy IPA.  This morning, I read that Hazy IPA's are extremely difficult to bottle without oxidation happening, so I guess I'll see how that goes.  I also have a porter fermenting, a dark ale in bottles (my very first all-grain and lot's of fuck-ups, so no high expectations) and I bottled my extract Imperial Stout yesterday.

I'm lusting after some shiny, stainless steel equipment, but I need to wait and see how these turn out.  My first extract brew, a hefeweizen, isn't really to my liking.  I don't know of it's the style or if I got some contamination.
