That's about the look of tomorrow's Partial Mash. Who else is going to spend the day around a Brew Pot?



P.S.- Recipe came from my LHBS in Nashua, NH. Jasper's, to be exact.

I got the day off but I am not brewing, I have to finish trim work before the in-laws get here this weekend. Have fun Brewing though.

I'll tell you what I'm brewing...I'm brewing up a meaty deuce as I sit here at work in my shirt, tie and dress pants. My wife gets the day off...lucky ho.

Fuggin lazy union bastards. Here in the real working world, we get paid based on the services that we provide, rather than what a group of organized lawyers negotiate. As such, stupid holidays like columbus day are like any other day.

Enjoy your brew day, though.

In honor of columbus day i am thinking of brewing my "gave the indians the clap pale ale"





j/k

brewed yesterday.

Go Union!!! BTW, I'd Sheet Rock and Frame circles around your Rat Ass.:rockin:



Just Mashed in about 5 minutes ago. Looking forward to trying this one in about 8 weeks.

I think I'm brewing my winter warmer today. First I need to get my grain mill back on line. Guess it'll be a slightly late evening.

brewing an amber and racking a brown as soon as I get home from work. woo hoo

20 minutes left in my Boil. My new lautering mainfold worked AWESOME!!! I'll be posting pics of it this evening. I know everyone has seen one, but I am so damned proud of it.:fro:

So I finally got doughed in at 7:00 PM. We're switching to a night schedule at work for the winter, so this is gonna be a great way to begin adjusting the body clock!

I love the way chocolate malt smells in the grist!

AH Yeeeees. The Shift swings. One of the many things I DO NOT miss about Law Enforcement. Good luck on your brew session mah HBT Bruddah!!!:fro:

5 hours later - just cleaning up. About to pitch some rehydrated S-04.

Missed the OG by 10 points. Garbage efficiency. I got lazy with this brew - didn't hook up the steam, used an undermodified base malt in place of a few pounds of 2-row (Bohemian pilsner that needed to either get thrown out or used). Guess I learned my lesson. Oh well, it'll probably finish lower than the BeerSmith estimated FG, so I'll still get 8% ABV or better.

Just checked on the fermenter - this is the most active fermentation I've had to date! The blow off tube is blowing a constant machine gun stream of BIG bubbles!

Couldn't resist a small sample - this stuff tastes GOOD!
