Vienna lager, 2 saisons, American Amber, and American stout. Oh and a marzen that's been in the cooler at work since... You guessed it, March.

4 gal of cinnamon apple cider
4.5 gal of apple/cinnamon/Italian Plum cider (an experiment)
5 gal of my Special Winter Amber Ale
 
Once September arrives, I'm all cider through the end of the year.

I have 5g of cider from my apple trees and 5g of a cherry (apple) cider. Hoping to do at least one more from apples before the pears are ready to press.
 
Makes me wish I started brewing at the old house around a country block from this new one. I had half an acre with a few apple trees. One was this hard green apple that tasted kinda like a granny smith, but shaped like a delicious. Popped when you bit into it with running juice. Had a red delicious in the front & a royal gala near the back of the house. Black oak & maple trimmed for smoker woods too. I kinda miss it sometimes. Had wild grapes for wine making too.
 
Right now, I have an amazing 7.35 ABV rye ipa using the zombie dust hop schedule. Currently dry hopping with 3 oz Citra.
 
ESB that i salvaged from a stuck sparge Saturday-what an ordeal. Going to rethink my brewhouse.
 
Told ya ..... :D:D:D

The mess is going to be worth it, though! I tasted the last sample I took for a gravity reading; mostly flat, but very tasty. And it's going to be a strong one: the calculators are telling me that it's around 13% ABV right now, and the gravity is still dropping. (1.120 OG, 1.024 at 6 days, 1.020 at 8 days)

EDIT: I think I figured out how my OG was so much higher than the OG expected in the recipe, in that I accidentally partial-mashed my steeping grains instead of just steeping them :D
 
10 gal - Vienna Lager (dry hopped)
10 gal - Alt

now at 48 degrees and dropping....will hold at 38 once it gets there.
 
5.5 gallons of caramel apple cider. Been going about a week with double the sugar and using champagne yeast. OG 1.075. Haven't taken a second reading since I started fermenting. Need to do that. :)
 
Half-Baked Pumpkin Ale.

A little late to be making it, but the heart makes what the heart wants, whenever it wants it...

A very fast-fermenting oatmeal stout. Temperatures were carefully controlled the whole time (and low! 62 degrees for 1272 yeast) and this fermentation took off like mad on Sunday night after a lag time of maybe 10 hours, and was pretty much done Tuesday night. Proper starter plus O2 = happy yeast.
 
6 gallons Lambic, soon to be kriek
5.5 gallons saison
5.5 gallons dry hopping pale ale
5 gallons apfelwein
2- 1 gallon saisons with different sour dregs
1 gallon buffalo sweat with brett b
1 gallon long strange tripel with brett b
 
10 gal of single decocted Oktoberfest fermenting with Alt yeast
10 gal of 9.5%abv imperial pumpkin porter
10 gal of saison fermented with yeast harvested from Prairie Standard
5gal of Belgian Dubbel with homemade candi sugar
5gal of some sort of frankensour
 
A citra/centennial/cascade IPA dry hopping with about 150g of the 3 hops.
 
Left to right:

Stone 15th-Inspired Black IIPA

Ed Wort 's Apfelwein

Zombie Dust clone (just bottled)

 
5 gallons blond sour
5 gallons gold sour
3 gallons barley wine with brett
 
I bottled today, so all I have left are 4 gal of holiday spiced cider and 4 gal of a tester: Apple and Italian plum cider. From everything I've read, that one's at least a year in the bottle to be drinkable.
 
I bottled 5 different one gallon batches yesterday and now all my fermenters are empty, including my buckets. But I have the ingredients for a mixed berry cider coming up. Five gallon batch. I just don't have enough bottles to keep up.
