Updates and Brew # 15

Kegged the Ayaz Ayaz Heart-y Hopemeal Stout, and blended 2/3 with the Bourbon Goatmeal Stout, so it has a slight bourbon flavor, and tasty, and the other 1/3 by itself. It racked at 1.015 bringing the abv to 5%, so it's really drinkable. Lighter in color than I expected, but a nice creamy oatmeal body and taste.

Next up is Brew #15, soon to be called MexiCali TropicIPA. It will be a tropical fruit IPA, with a touch of mango in the secondary, and tequila soaked oak chips, as well as some agave nectar, etc. The hops list includes Chinook, Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe, Williamette, and Citra... all the citrus fruity hop varieties I can pack into it. It should weigh in around 1.065 for about 7% abv, and 75 IBUs. Should be a really interesting beer. Brew happens this coming Saturday, July 24 around 1-2PM.
