Back in action!

After four months of not brewing my fermentation refer is now fully functional. I'll be brewing a cream ale:

11 lbs pale malt
3 lbs flaked maize

Sach rest @ 148F for 60 min

1 oz Czech Saaz @ 60 min
0.5 oz Czech Saaz @ 20 min
0.5 oz Czech Saaz @ flameout

This should set my ABV at around 7% and IBU's close to 17. I guess 7% is knocking on the double or imperial door. Oh well. I just can't wait to frickin brew again!

As for the porter I brewed back in May, it came out wonderfully. By far my personal favorite homebrew. It had all the chocolately flavor I was looking for and some citrus and coconut notes from the later hop additions. This will definitely be my go-to porter recipe.
