Here Comes the Judge!

This weekend Gus and I will be attempting our first All-Grain Brew.  Since Gus bought the AG brew rig from a local retired judge and that same judge gave us multiple bags of hops that he had grown we decided to name our first AG brew after the judge. 

Get ready for The Judge GYO IPA. 

This IPA is going to be roughly based on Dogfish Head's 90 minute IPA.  We will be doing a 90 minute boil and it will be continuously hopped with a mixture of Zeus, Columbus, Cascade and Goldings hops with a couple other mystery hops thrown in for fun.  Basically it's just going to be a nice, light colored IPA that will be a hopsplosion!

While we are doing our brewing we will also be tasting a couple of other Imperial IPA's in a blind test to see which is best.  We've got our very own Stormtrooper IIPA, Southern Tier's Unearthly Double IPA and Hop Valley's Alpha Centauri Binary IPA to compare.  Instead of knowing exactly what we're tasting I think we'll go about it blindly to see which IIPA comes out on top.

The Apocalypso is also now ready to drink so I'll be filling up a couple of growlers of that to share with Gus.  All in all it should be a great brew day filled with some delicious brews.

Have a great weekend everybody!
