Peoples has rebrewed the Killa. And I'm already up to my old ways. They took their 4 gallon firkin and dryhopped a bit of Killa on "C-word" hop pellets. As far as some of can tell, it's the same combination of the Seaward, so I thought this would be a preview as to a "scalable" version of Seaward. Well, it was tapped at 4 pm, I have group meeting at 6 pm, and had not a lot of progress today. I took off at 5 to get a snifter and return by 6. Good thing I did, I got the last 4 pourable ounces from the firkin. (I am the assassin afterall) The beer was heavy on sediment, but the flavor profile stayed true. The dry hop did fantastic things to this great DIPA. I've always thought that Hop Killa was a little rough compared to a Space Cowboy or Hopslam, but the extra dryhop was excellent, and there are definitely citras in the "C-word" pellets. I look forward to the regular Killa when it comes out.
I did go back after group meeting...a couple of the regulars who missed out were definitely informed that I killed it. What can I say...it's what I do. I also ran into a first year who happens to be my academic nephew (his PI is one of Scott's former students) and a sales rep from Waters (which sells Mass Spectrometers). That was fun, not sure if others thought so though.
As far as homebrewing goes, my proper Amber is sitting on an oz of Indiana Cascade hops in the secondary. My next beer will be a Rye-IPA, in which I hope to use a fair chunk of Indiana grown Nugget hops, if they're still any good. I'm also planning on having people over for that brewday....which means I should get back to cleaning up the ol' bachelor pad, eh? I also need to find my missing airlock...or else things will get interesting.
