Already kicked a keg. Fastest one yet. The US-04 really gave it a nice taste. Going to have to do this one again real soon.

Brewed this one yesterday. It was my first brew on my outside setup so I wasn't exactly intuned with my new system. I got 4.5 gallons in the fermenter so my ABV and IBU's are higher than I wanted but I’m excited to see how it turns out. It's bubbling away this morning. This was the first time I used a wort chiller and it dropped 100 degrees in 15 minutes. My SWMBO gave me the ok to invest in a kegging system. Hopefully this will be the first brew I keg. About to start EdWort's Haus Pale Ale now! Happy 4th!

After 36 hours patienly waiting I saw the airlock gurgling this morning on the Nierra Sevada batch.

Brewed this one up in a 5gal batch on Sunday afternoon, hit my numbers on the mark (1.046OG). So i'm happy I've got my procedure dialed in. This is my 5th AG batch and my 6th batch overall.

Pitched a pint of washed Notty yeast I had in the fridge w/o a starter. This is the first time I've tried a direct pitch of washed yeast without rejuvinating it with a starter. I was quite nervous about it monday when I got home from work and didn't see any fermintation happening yet. The fermentor is in my basement and was reading a temp of about 68 degrees, so I expected a slow start but not a 36 hour delayed start.

I plan on dry-hopping 1oz when I rack to secondary, so I dont have any trub in the keg when i rack. I think that will help with the clarity.

Looking forward to downing some pints of this one. Already have some "volunteers" to help with the taste testing.

Thanks for the recipe. I'll report back as we complete the various stages of this brew.

Just brewed another batch! Yum. First time dealing with a stuck sparge so brew day was kinda interesting. The SS hose came off. All good now!
