Mojo Puravida is ON!!!!!
Thanks for the spiritual guidance folks - I'm mashing in right now!!!!!

Best way to regain the old brewing Mojo :drink: :drink: :drink:

I lost mine for a while, then the beer started running out, so I stuck a brew on and lo and behold the mojo came back with a vengeance!! :mrgreen:

So - two weeks in now and Mojo Puravida is down to 1080 or so and is already crystal clear and delicious.
There have not been many beers I've brewed that I'd be very happy to drink a couple of pints of after just 2 weeks.

Might dry hop for a week for an extra simcoe hit and then keg it up next weekend.
