Not technically this weekend. I finally got around to my "Hop Stream Rye" APA last night (Thursday).
Brewing 11 gallons of a Bell's two hearted clone tomorrow. Bottled 4 cases of BM's Centennial Blonde tonight. Had it in primary for 3 weeks..., wanted to rack to secondary for a week but I need the carboys for tomorrow. Lost about a gallon so as not to disturb the sediment. Oh well. This last brew was a first for me in many different areas:
-First All Grain batch
-First 11 gallon batch
-First full boil
-First time using my CFC
-First time using my new 3 tier brew stand
-First yeast washing(will use for tomorrow's brew)
I think that's it. I tasted the hydrometer sample...YUMMY!!!
Oh Yeah..., First brew SWMBO actually likes!!!
Brewing my first batch in 4 years today. Im going with a respberry wheat today and making a honey ale tomorrow.
"Eh, Rye Not", brew was smoothest/best brew day to date. Drank several 22oz "samples" from my fresh keg of BM's Black pepper Wit (which is being made again soon) then had a buddy pick me up (no way I was figuring out a door lock let a lone a gas pedal) and off we went for some Disc Golf. Friggin Great Saturday.
