Some definite aroma differences coming off these two primaries:
Omega Star Party has ripe passionfruit, guava, sweet orange and mango. Almost sherbert-like.
SafAle US-05 is still fruit forward from the Calypso hops, but more papaya, green mango/amchor, lime leaf and lychee.
Planning to add the Brettanomyces and Funk Weapon 2 culture tonight. Can't wait!

Brewed a SMaSH beer with TexMalt San Jacinto 2-Row and Calypso hops.
This is my first experiment with Mash Hoppjng. After reading Scott Janish's article I'm starting out with a rest at 112f before boosting up to 149f for rhe remainder of the mash.
Will be splitting this batch of beer into two different primary fermentors - one with Omega Star Party and one with US-05 for a few days before adding in Brettanomyces Lambicus and Bootleg Biology Funk Weapon 2.

Debating adding some commercial dregs too- I have some Phantome culture, Bootleg Biology Funk Weapon 4 and OB Belgian that could be added..
I'd like to get a Jester.King-ish culture going so that I can brew a batch of Farmhouse Ale once a month or so. Mostly low gravity Table Beers and Grisettes, though I'd like to be able to do some mixed culture Saisons as well.

Bottled three batches of beer over the last couple of days- first up was a Vista hop SMaSH for an upcoming Club comparison and the other two are a split batch fixed ferm Table Beer, part dry hopped with Meridian and part was rested on lemon zest for a few days.
