Palate Pulverizor Brew Day 10/11

This past weekend I brewed my annual Double IPA, Palate Pulverizor. This is the one and only beer that I make that I use my home grown hops in. Aside from my hops I keep the hop bill pretty loose and use what ever is readily available, but overall I like to use a good amount of citrusy hops to get that West Coast vibe from the IPA. Here is a photo journal of the day!

This is the hop bill for this version of PP. From beginning to end 11 oz. of hops are added to make this beer extremely hoppy!


This is a look at the spent grains used in PP. I used 19 pounds of grains to bring the ABV of this beer to between 8.5 and 9%.

Here are some pictures during the boil of hop additions. As you can see it gets pretty crowded in there!

And there you have it a final version of Palate Pulverizor. Looks gross now but in about 2 months it'll be drinking good at over 100 IBU

WHO'S READY FOR NEW YEARS EVE!!!

Back Right Corner - Kremlin Joe's Russian Imperial Stout Batch #2 - 10%

Back Left Corner - WarChild Quadruple - 9.5%

Front Right Corner - Emma Rose Abbey Ale - 7.5%

Front Left Corner - Palate Pulverizor DIPA - too early to tell ~8.5%

Still got a few other goodies up my sleeve for the New Year, but I guess you'll have to be present at the party to find out about those.

CHEERS!!!
