My wife is due in 37 days so I'm currently on my second batch of the weekend (choc porter last night). Maris otter cascade smash.
Congrats to both of you. Yeah, get your brews in while you can.
I am a tired boy right now. I didn't keep a close eye on my pipeline and both my taps ran dry this weekend. I only have 2 taps and 3 kegs so I have to keep close watch, but I didn't. I'm not in too bad a shape though.
I made a Helles last week, but that needs another month at least before tapping. I also have a British mild that was ready for the keg. So today I:
Brewed a southern brown
Kegged the mild ale
Cleaned out the mild's ferm bucket then moved the southern brown into that, and dumped in half the mild's yeast cake. Wyeast 1496-good for all that is brown
Cleaned out the other 2 kegs and both beer lines
Chopped the 2 inches of ice that was sitting on my driveway before the next snow started
So I'll be drinking Newcastles until my mild is carbed up, then the brown will be along in about 3 weeks. Serves me right for not having enough brews on deck.
