My daughter and SIL inherited his mother’s ‘02, 200K mile, Lexus SUV. It’s gold, with slightly gold tinted windows. They’ve christened it “Goldmember”…I wish mine was golden.

I'm currently doing my first step mash ever! Kolsch! Second step for me, as well. Off from work means impromptu brew day!2nd step of the mash going on a Strata Pale Ale for an upcoming competition. Only the second time trying the step mash method, it's actually going quite well.

Are you sure that's not a big pot of Mac 'N' Cheese???Well, efficiency was far from what I estimated with this being my first batch with such a high wheat percentage. All good, I had been toying with dropping it down to 1.085 anyway. Glad I didn't, as that's where I ended up. IBUs adjusted when I saw the pre-boil gravity.
Early in the week I pitched a 3 months past best by date WLP066 into a 500ml Shaken-Not-Stirred-Starter. When it was fully fermented I poured off the liquid and poured in another 500ml of fresh wort. Let that get ripping, then added another 500ml fresh wort to it. Pitched the whole 1000ml at high krausen into the main batch last night at 8p, there was an inch of foam when I woke up at 5a. Now I've got what's got to be the most interesting krausen I've seen yet. This is before any rousing or cropping.

Doing my yearly batch of cider, but with an ale yeast to see if I can get a less than bone dry result.
Just mashed in on an American pale ale. Haven't decided on hops yet...
Edit: Strata and Cardinal. They smell fantastic. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
I hear you. My latest LMA (lawn mower ale) is leftover 2-row and whatever hops I have in the beer fridge crisper.I'll be brewing this week, just not sure of the day. Busy week; new furnace and AC today but I got grain weighed out.
I went through my left over grains and I see I can brew an amber type beer. For the last year I have been going through my left overs so I'm not having so many small bags around.
