In two weeks (November 1st), we will be brewing up Four Lane Double IPA. This brew is being done for Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day. Our guest brewer will be Mike Yocius, a friend of mine from college.

The brew will be estimated at 10.7% ABV with 100 IBUs (minimum!!). We are using twelve pounds of liquid malt extract and three pounds of amber dry malt extract. We are planning on using a 1/2 pound of Crystal 60L and a 1/2 pound of Carapils for our speciality grains. The hop bill is two ounces of Warrior, three ounces of Centennial, one ounce of Cascade (dry hop), and one ounce of Crystal (dry hop). We will be using Wyeast's Northwest Ale yeast. This yeast was also featured in the Bike Path Pale Ale and Two Lane IPA.

We will be posting pictures from the brew day as well as comments from Mike on his first brewing experience.

Until later, keep your beer cool and pint full.
