I decided to donate and brew a batch of Resilience IPA using the recipe from chopandbrew. If you do, do not forget to donate to the camp fire fund. I had all but the yeast and crystal 60L on hand. After brewing a bunch of hazy IPA I am going to add whirlfloc and fine with gelatin to get a very clear beer for a change.

A part of my equipment that is not glamorous but works great is this big bucket. A quick hoist and dump of my grain bag into this large bucket makes moving my spent grain to the compost pile easy and clean. Also neat are these cold crash guardians. they are essentially bags that fill with CO2 from fermentation that then is available to fill the head space during cold crashing vs pulling oxygen or starsan in.
