Today was a great brewday. I showed a newbie my all grain process. We made an all grain Imperial IPA .... OG 1.095

I used a 1.7L starter and my new stir plate... and plenty of O2.

The yeasties are very happy...and so am I.

What did you brew this weekend?

Bottled my first all grain IPA and brewed an extract wheat beer. I plan to add 4 pounds of raspberries to the secondary.

I just finished up a Northern Brown Ale. It`s one of my favorite beers.

Courage Russian Imperial Stout clone. 1.103. Missed it at 1.096. Close enough.
Used yeast from my first ever washing. It looks like they may go mad.
Threw a blow off tube on from the get-go.

Update: At the 2.5 hr mark 36 bubbles per minute.

She's gonna blow!

Made an AG Irish Red ale with a single decoction to bring out the malt profile. It's more of a mock octoberfest than a red. OG was 1.052.

Going to brew a batch of Lady Liberty Ale tomorrow. Want to do an amber too but I doubt I'll have the time.
