I just made a citrus wheat it's awesome.
I'm brewing tomorrow. Hmmmm.... Should I tackle a huge barleywine or should I brew a brown ale? Decisions decisions...
Bottled my Centennial Blonde last night so the fermentation chamber is now empty. That just feels wrong.
Tonight I'll be giving KingBrianI's Common Room ESB a go. I had to substitute Special B for the dark crystal in the recipe and I've decided to add the quarter pound of biscuit some people use when they do this beer.
I'll be mashing BIAB style with a sparge step and then boiling in 2 pots on my electric stovetop. This method worked out fine when I brewed my blonde and I didn't have to scale the recipe down like I've been doing when only using one pot. This adds a little time to the brew night but increases my yield by ~5 or 6 litres (~15 - 18 bottles). My second pot is smaller than the one I typically use.
Both! Do the barleywine and partigyle a brown ale after :rockin:
^^^looks delicious
Since I'm working this weekend, I'm setting my sights on a double header bright and early Tuesday. SA Summer Ale and a Irish Red
One of my yeast vials was beyond it's date since the 11th of last month. Just don't have a good feeling about it. Of the five vials I've used from WL in the past, the yeast was always firm in the bottom on the vial requiring a good amount of agitating to get it into a slurry, this one (WLP400 dated March 11th) turned into a mix with just minimal movement. We'll see how the starter looks Tuesday. Maybe all will be well.
Started the year off last weekend with a "ghetto winter wheat" and hope to brew another batch of something Friday. Not sure what but i'll find something!!

Hoping to do a Summer Saison, though it may end up something different by the time I start brewing.
