Happy Brewing to all, and to all a Drunken Night

[histo320]

Earlier today (after golfing), I racked my Magic Hat #9 clone into the secondary and proceeded to go to the LHBS while SWMBO sanitized everything for me.

I am remaking my first batch which was an IPA but instead of using 2 oz of warrior hops, I am going to throw in some spare chinnook.

Here's the recipe:

6 lb Northwester Gold Syrup
1 lb Briess Gold DME
1 oz Chinook (11.40 aau) at 50
1 oz Warrior (15.80 aau) at 40:rockin:
1 oz Amarillo (8.60 aau) at flameout
White Labs California Ale Yeast

This is what I am making today, what are the rest of you making this great weekend?

Here's to all on this great brew weekend

I'm making a blonde ale that's going to have some kind of fruit added. I haven't decided for sure what kind. It's also going to be my second partial mash, the first of which went very well. Here's the link to the recipe:

I substituted some of the pilsner malt with extra light DME to make it partial mash.

It will only be batch #2 for me. I can't wait to get going on it. SWMBO's b-day is mid-May, and after watching me do my first batch, she said she'd like to do a brew with me, maybe letting her pick the style for her b-day. So, as soon as quittin' time gets here, we're going to head down to the LHBS and pick up stuff for an APA. Can't wait!

If I can get some pacman yeast going I am hoping to brew either a Dead Guy clone or a Vienna/NB/Pacman smash this weekend.

My brew last night went great, no boilovers and I had the pot almost filled to the brim.

THis will be in Primary for 3 weeks or so then age for 3 weeks. Right now I have 46 bottles aging, 1 batch in secondary, and 1 in primary which will give me plenty of beer for the months to come!

I will be racking the Magic Hat clone to secondary tonight, then start something else. Not really sure what though, I think I'm going to go w/ an American Wheat.

I just steeped the specialty grains and bringing the pot to a boil to add the LME for a pale ale. The kit is from Winemakers (Chicago area). This is my second brew. I have a Brewer's Best Robust Porter in the primary that was brewed last Friday. I went and bought a second Ale Pail primary yesterday so that when I rack the first beer, I will be able to have 3 going at once. (I want to get loaded up for the summer :rockin:!)

Great brewing to all!

I checked the fermenter, temp is 72F (where I want it) but fermentation hasn't started yet.
