So who's brewing this weekend?

[electric_beer]

Well, ive brewed 10 gallons so far this year. Hardly taking up all my time. All my additions to the brewery have been DIY with a bare minimum spent on materials.....always. ive been unemployed for 3 months but take home more money than if i were working. Basically GAVE UP brewing this year and cant get away with brewing 10 measly gallons of wee heavy. WTF? Am i a ***** or do other people go through this?

Just remind her how much money you save by brewing. Wee heavy isn't cheaper than $9 for a six pack...so you've just gotta brew it. It's too expensive not to.

Bottled my 4% brown porter, and it tasted delicious! Nice roasty flavor with some molasses. I put 4 oz of black patent to make sure it would have a good amount of roast along with the chocolate. Tastes like I'm going to be very happy with it!

 

[Zider]

Tasted my first flat lager after 5 weeks lagering. miraculous transformation. All that buggering about with craigslist fridge and chopping bits off the door repaid in a few sips.

6th batch this last weekend, and my first attempt at a hefe.

2kg Briess wheat DME
1kg White wheat malt
.2kg Honey malt
20g Liberty @ 40 minutes
15g Liberty @ 20 minutes
WLP300

Fairly simple recipe. Hoping to just get a hint of that honey malt to shine through. My OG was spot on at 1.050, which made me quite happy. Promised myself I wouldn't flip out when my mash temp dropped to avoid ending up with a bunch of unfermentables again. Dropped to around 60C near the end. Overall, I'm quite happy. Checked this morning after pitching last night and the krausen is already alive and kickin. Can't wait for this one.

Next week I'll try a second attempt at a witbier, this time using T-58.

Bottled up 4.5 g of cider today. Best cider ive made yet. Steeped a pound of c60, added a pound of brown sugar and a pound of honey.put 2 gallons on scotch soaked oak chips also. I used 3711 and it went down to 1.000, but surprisingly isnt too dry. Cant wait for carbonation.

 

[JeepDiver]

Bottled my Wheat last night, just started the water for an Amber. First time using a starter, made with my Xmas gear (5000ml Flask and Stirplate both used for the first time). Got a bunch of frothy yeast waiting to be pitched.

Working remotly rocks :rockin:

Well that was a crappy brew day. Only second batch since moving, so haven't got everything dailed in yet ended up with a gallon more wort than I should have, thought about boiling it down and taking the hit on the added bitterness, then the clouds started rolling in, so had to get to chilling, got it to 80 before the bottom fail out, manged to only get a little rain in the fermenter. guess we will see how it goes.

Just finished adding the 2.5 ml starter to my "Poor Goat" Pale ale. We are butchering a goat on the 3rd of July. This will be a good pairing.

[Stevo2569]

Did a Kentucky Bourben Barrel Ale Clone today. Gonna rack onto Bourben soaked scorched oak chips for 3 weeks after primary. The original is delicious and I hope this one is too.
