Looks delish! Good job. Love “boring” beers.
After a day's judging, there's nothing better than boring. Save me from exciting beers!Looks delish! Good job. Love “boring” beers.

Arapahoe County Fair. Our homebrew club puts it on for them. We're Aurora City Brew Club, by the way...Ha! I could see that. You aren’t judging at Jeffco fair comp are you? I could never judge even if my palate was up to the task. Good on you.
i found an old picture of grain crushed ... what do you think ?How’s your crush look? I got a grain mill and my brewhouse efficiency jumped up 8% immediately.
Heaps of uncracked grains in there efficiency would of suffered because of it. Don't be afraid of them crush em or waste em!
As mentioned above, nothing wrong with boring.... My preference in beer is boring. There. I've said it. I like boring beer.It's always hard to tell from a photo, but I tend to agree with @Trialben .
About hops for the recipe: I'd try Loral here. What do you guys think about that? I've used it in a cream ale, and it had a very nice discrete hint of citrus, without moving into apa/ipa-territory.
As for this being a boring style: No well-made beer is boring. (But I'm pretty bored by a current tendency to brew fancy beers by putting all sorts of fruits, spices and other sorts of tasty additives into them. That's boring to me.)
I wish more peole were clear about this. Much better than those who tie themselves up in knots saying how one thing is better than another because of a or b when it's really just a preference. And also remembering that preferences change.As mentioned above, nothing wrong with boring.... My preference in beer is boring. There. I've said it. I like boring beer.
Amen, brother. And preferences are just that: I love a well-made IPA as much as the next guy, it's just not my go-to beer. I have a roasty, toasty beer with coffee and chocolate fermenting in the basement (the infamous Kentucky Breakfast Stout failure) and it tastes good - a coffee-chocolate IPA! If it's a thing a few years from now, you know where it started.... ;-)I wish more peole were clear about this.

When today's pale ales are yesterday's IPAs, when guys throw so much mosaic in the beer tastes like you'd imagine cat urine would, when the bitterness goes over to metalic, when I have to hold my nose to drink it due to the "funk" then it tastes like brake fluid... Back to that slow-pour pils....I do find myself enjoying the standard basics more and more. I think the neipa, milkshake haze craze kinda ruined it for me.
