Premature Hopulation

[Beer-lord]

I create my recipes weeks or months in advance so I know I'll have enough goods to brew with. With Pliny this weekend and Chupacabra Charlie to follow, I wanted to make sure I had enough to brew a third batch. In comes Premature Hopulation. I'm continuing my use of lots of hops with late additions and dry hops. I pretty much have this down like I want it and know it's what I like to drink. And, as is 90% of what I brew, it's an IPA.
The stout portion will come soon enough.
Yeast isn't shown but I'll likely use 001 for this one.

Looks like heavy on the flavor and aroma.... I like...

[Beer-lord]

I realized I had 1 ingredient wrong. The Munich comes out and is replaced with White Wheat. But between now and then, things may change.
Much depends on how I feel at the time I brew.

[BlackDuck]

I like the change from Munich to white wheat. There are a lot of commercial IPA's that use wheat these days.

And where do you come up with these names. I thought Chupacabra Charlie took the cake.....now we have Premature Hopulation. Well done....Too bad you weren't a graphic artist, cause these would make awesome labels.

[Beer-lord]

I actually usually come up with the name before the recipe (most of the time). Most Wednesday nights we have a jam night with my twin and a couple and have a nice dinner, enjoy some homebrew and craft beers and play a little music. Of course, we discuss beer all the time. Someone may say something funny or silly or nasty and my sick mind goes for it.
Chupacabra was based on a conversation a few Sunday's ago when I had another 'beer summit' or 'Beer-BBQ summit' at my house.....where I brew in the morning and invite friends over to BBQ and share beer and just chillax. We talk about many things....God, science, life and death and sports. Whatever.....but, I'm a sicko so I things pop in my mind and it clicks (or doesn't).

Read the hop schedule and had a slight accident in my shorts Please make sure the wind is blowing East when you brew it.

[FrozenInTime]

Read the hop schedule and had a slight accident in my shorts Please make sure the wind is blowing East West when you brew it.

There, fixed Jeff's post.

I'll send out smoke signals first to make sure it makes it to you both.
