New recipe, I have a bunch of wheat on hand, so thought I'd try a wheat IPA. This is a pretty simple recipe.
10 gallons
14 lbs 2-row
14 lbs white wheat
60 minute mash at 152F.
2 oz El Dorado, 15% AA, 60 minutes
1 T Irish Moss, 15 minutes
6 oz Cascade, Bob's homegrown from last fall, 5 minutes
90 minute boil
Wyeast 1272, pitched on the yeast cake from Batch 157.
Nice easy brew day.

Batch 158, Gemutlich at the Edge
I finally got time to brew at the Edge on the pilot system. I went with Gemutlich because it's a recipe I've done a few times and it's not an over the top recipe, so if I've screwed up the recipe quantities adjusting for the bigger system, it should still be okay. Kerry, the head brewer at the Edge, was a huge help in getting this batch going and in the fermenter.
20 gallon batch
I see now that I did make a mistake, I meant to bump up the efficiency to 85%. This may come out more on the malty side instead of well balanced like it usually is.
The pilot system is pretty sweet. All stainless and quick connects everywhere. It does fly sparging, which I'd never done before. It's pretty easy.
Here's a picture of the system:

The boil kettle is filled really full, so foam drops are a big help.
