My coconut wheat has become a favorite around my bar and I knew I was running low so I decided to brew it again this weekend.  This time, I'm trying something new with it though.  I've always separated it into two 5gal fermenters, one with WLP300 and one with WLP320.  I then blended them when kegging to get the profile I liked.  This time, out of sheer laziness, I just pitched both into the same fermenter.  Will see how it goes!

My planned brew day ran into some snags when I couldn't get my ingredients in on time.  So as not to waste an already scheduled brew session I scanned homebrewtalk.com for a recipe that sounded good, took advantage of ingredients I already had, and would be ready somewhat quickly.  So I present Sudden Drop Off Irish Red:
