Doing a club brew day tomorrow - 35 gal of Dry Stout!

Got a big, rich, chocolatey oatmeal stout mashing right now. This will help me cope with the coming cold months.

Double decoction SMaSH pilsner with saaz, bohemian lager. 5 Gal.

About to start the boil on 10G of American Stout.

Dry Irish Stout for my second brew. Hoping to control fermenting temps better than I did my first.

My first English Dark Mild!

Going to try to get my 2-row/Belma SMaSH done this weekend, but if I can't do it this weekend then definitely Monday or Tuesday.

Gotta get a batch of cream ale done. The current keg is getting ready to blow!

Bottling spearmint porter and maybe brew coconut stout .

Hoppyum clone, after I change my shocks

I am doing a Little Sumppin Clone 10galand then throwing in the Wild as well
Also a boulevard wheat clone with extras. Orange and lemon zest at flame out and 5 of the 10gal will get Sarichi Ace dry hop

A friend is doing a 10gal English Mild, and 10gal Centinal IPA

Caramel Amber Ale with Pacman \o/

Just got done brewing a double IPA and we came in 9 points under bummer but it should turn out good. Also using my new fermentation chamber on this one so stoked ohh yea and kegged a citra pale to tonight it was a busy night.

It's just past midnight, and my first stout is in the BK with another 30 or so minutes to boil. I have an London ESB 1968 yeast cake I will pitch it on to.
I thought why not use the dry stout recipe and a medium attenuating yeast just to see if it will be "dry enough".
Drinking:American brown ale
Next to drink: English amber ale
Next to bottle: Chocolate porter
In Brew kettle: Dry stout

Just started mashing a dark Belgian ale. The grains smell fantastic, and I'm pretty stoked. I haven't brewed anything but IPA for quite a while.

Just started my mash on my house ipa. This is my first early morning brew. Doesn't feel right drinking coffee instead of a homebrew. Maybe it will cut down on all of my usual mistakes.

Quite Rye-ght! That's what I'm calling this batch. It is a rye bitter and is in the middle of the boil right now.

AND I just poured the first bottle of my Back to School Porter that I bottled a few weeks ago. Super tasty. It's a good day.

Just finished cleaning up after my first 1 gallon brew day....

Brewed up an all cascade pale ale. Hit marks as well as bottled up an IPA in the process.

I can see using the lil guy more often, start making 6.5 gallon batches and using different yeast / dry hops on the gallon ?? Could be fun.

Brewed 5 gallons of Irish Red Ale today with my father. Everything went off without a hitch. Looking forward to drinking this one already.

My second batch, an Irish Stout, is in the bucket and it smelled great. I just hope the finished product tastes as good as it smelled. This one went 10 times better than my first batch.

Brewed NB's Innkeeper, bottled month old caribou slobber.. Now, that just doesn't sound right...

If it's cold and dreary outside, I'll brew. If it's nice, then I'll go for a bike ride. Because it's an all-grain affair, I'll need most of the day to do the brewing.

That is, if I don't have to go to work...

Boris The Blade RIS which will be aged in the Balcones Bourbon Barrel that came in the mail yesterday.

My first all grain, Janet's Brown Ale. Doing it brew in a bag in my Bayou Cooker on its first run. Thirty minutes into the mad right now.

Just pulled the first decoction for my double batch of Berliner Weisse. It's nice and cool out on the back patio. Great morning.

And by double batch, I mean I'm doing two 3 gallon batches concurrently. Separate brews.

Well, with one of the occupants of my house down with some illness, I can't brew. There is no way to get the wort from my porch to my basement, without passing their bedroom; it would be cruel for me to induce vomiting (again), so I don't think I'll be able to pitch until Friday. This affords me the opportunity to reformulate my recipe.

I bottled my first 5 gallon batch. It went well but took 3 times as long as I expected it to.

The weekend's over, but I'm brewing up my first split batch/bast***ized partigyle. I'll be mashing enough wort to make 5 gallons of 1.055 beer, but I'm going ot mix the runnings and split them in two. Half will get a bit of sugar and American hops for a light AIPA (1.06, 50 IBU), and the other half will be diluted and British hopped for a special bitter (based on yeoman recipe). I appreciate variety too much to brew 5 gallons of the same beer.

I brewed NB's Bourbon Barrel Porter (extract) on Saturday, and NB's Grateful Dead Guy (extract) on Sunday.

My house smells like a brewery.

Not the weekend, but I'm going to brew up another batch tomorrow before I head home for Christmas. It'll be my first all grain batch, BIAB-style. Doing a fairly simple American IPA that should be ready for dry hopping just about the time I return.

Not really a clone of anything. I was given an ounce of whole leaf Amarillo hops a few weeks back when I picked up a new capper, so I figured, what the heck? Mostly 2-row, with a little Munich and some crystal thrown in, plus Alchemy (which this year I think is a blend of Magnum and Warrior), Cascade, Chinook, Willamette and Amarillo. We'll see how it turns out...

Bottled 3 batches this weekend. Next weekend I'll likely be bottling another (gonna pull a small taste sample first, may need more time on the oak), and probably make a couple starters for brews later in the week while I'm on vacation.

Running out of brown ale, so I'm going to try to do another batch this weekend.

Taking a day off and doing an easy double brew day. First is a no boil Berliner Weisse that I plan on doing an all lacto primary then finish with some brettanomyces. I do have a packet of US-05 on hand if I decide that it needs it. The lacto starter I made from grains and previous brews run off is tasting good and tart!

Second is a Belgian style blonde with pink peppercorns and grains of paradise. I will likely bottle this with some brettanomyces too.

We have a little one on the way. She could be here any day from now to two more weeks. So this might be my last brew day for a couple months or so, gotta make it count!

I intend to do a 10 gallon batch of English Centennial Blonde (replaced the 2-row wtih MO). We'll see how it goes.

Mashing a Blueberry Chocolate Stout at the moment. 5 gallon batch.
