Ran to my local HBS to exchange my backup CO2 tank. The one that's on is about to kick.

Went to LHBS, picked up grain, hops and yeast for next brew next weekend.
Planted some EKG sprouts - Cascade is finally flourishing, hoping for good things from these 2 in a couple of years.

Cleaned and rebuilt 6 kegs, moved the Barley Wine from barrel to keg-added some Scotch to the barrel, moved the Hibiscus Wheat Saison into a keg with Guava puree as a priming sugar-added Gin to that barrel, made 6G of Pear-Agave Cider. Everything took longer than expected because, well, homebrewing and unexpected repairs/maintenace.
Did not keg the IPA because I really couldn't take any more surprises and extended tasks.

Yesterday I bottled my Dogfish Head 60 into 34 bottles. Now Carbonating for 2 weeks.
Kegged 2 German Lagers. 1 brewed 2/17 , the other 3/19, Happy to get them packaged.
Set up four carboys for soft-crashing, then made four of these:

Yesterday I cleaned and checked out the workings of a used grainfather, heater heated and the pump pumped, so brew day today. Grain just milled and I should be mashing in soon. 
Today I brewed 21 litres of Old Hooky Bitter clone, the original is brewed in Hook Norton near Oxford. My recipe is
3700g Maris Otter
300g Flaked Maize
200g Medium Crystal Malt
35g Black malt
30g Challenger at 60m
25g Fuggles at 15m
30g Bramling Cross at 80C whirlpool 20m
Nottingham style yeast.
OG 1046 so expect an ABV 4.5%
