Took forever to get the beer flowing into this keg. First time I have tried dry hopping loose. If the flavor or aroma is better, I have some thoughts on how to improve next time.

Yeast is pitched and everything is cleaned. An uncommon sight, all my fermenters in use. Kolsch on the left goes into keg next weekend, Helles on the right a few weeks after.

So many hops, almost 5 oz, plus almost 2 oz already added, and 1.5 that went in my hop jacket, and another 4.5 that will go in at dry hop.

Got a really good hot break. I love my kettle, achieves a very robust boil, especially as an electric brewer.

You know what this means. Nothing better than a splash of @sagamorespirit rye in the wort sample after confirming everything is on target.
