Brewing Update

Today I am brewing 5 gallons of pale ale using my own hops! I ended up with about 2.5 oz of cascade and about 1.5 oz of centennial. Pictures:

Centennial
Recipe is pretty simple, 8 lbs Pilsner, 1 lb munich, 1/2 lb crystal 60. I'm putting most of the hops towards the end for a big hop flavor.
I also brewed 10 gallons of stout a month or so ago, it came out good despite the fact I used dark crystal instead of chocolate malt. Cheers!
