Finally got around to brewing after a few months. Had to get the backyard hops used. But I may have waited a bit too long.  But Halloween is closing in and this beer needs to get done one way or another.

They are a bit dry but not bad and still smell very good. So I picked about a half of a 5 gallon bucket to use as the late hops.

Backyard IPA.

• 1o lbs pale
• 1 lb 60L
• 1.5 Oz magnum @60
• 1/2 bucket of the Mt Hoods @5
• 1 Oz falconer flight at flame out
• 05 yeast and mashed at 158

Always hard to get a read on how much extra water to add with homegrown hops, so I used 3/4 gallon more.

And seemed to be pretty close. Just a tad too much. But shouldn’t be bad.

Ended up with an OG of 1.058.  And will be ready for Halloween.
