we brewed up our cascadian dark ale (Fang Maker) this weekend. the hop bill in the batch included 12 oz of hops: 2 oz summit, 2 oz simcoe, 2 oz centennial, 2 oz cascade, 2 oz amarillo, 2 oz ahtanum.we hit an og of 1.065, a little lower than we were hoping for but it should still be delicious.

we also ordered a new 1/2" racking cane, some 5.2 buffer, and a little batch we like to call "kimosabe reloads". its a revision of the kimosabe recipe but with a little more base malt. we'll be brewing this fella in a couple weeks.
