Those are some hefty numbers. That will be one kick ass mug of beer.
Yeah, lol ...
I have an oddly good feeling about it ...
We'll see, though ...
I did replace that midnight wheat along w/ my holiday ingredients order, as it's positively heavenly ...
It should be entertaining for a while, there's going to be a period of time where I'm going to do a bunch of one-gallon stove-top/sous-vide batches between now and when I brew the first big batch, outside ...
I'll probably be doing some water stuff, too, so I'm looking forward to some micro-batch brewing/experiments etc ...
I have quite a bit of beer to drink, assuming this one makes it too!

3rd stir-plate for split batch yeast side-by-sides ...
So, on the Mulberara, the pH of the filtered water was between 6 and 7 ...
The universe wants this beer to make it ...
The dark grains pulled the mash right range, so I didn't use any pH5.2 this batch ...
Having a big beer, to celebrate brewing beer!
Didn't realize flash was on, oops ...

Is it OK if it gets cold, or does it need to be closer to 65-70F, or?
Looks like March 29th is my 1st #brewversary ... which is a Tuesday in 2016 ...

Â
Actually, it's not all that unrealistic to believe that's when the Mulberara might be ready to drink, in truth ...
This beer is gonna fuck make it, I think ...
Just cruisin' at 75F ... 72 hours since initially pitched.
