I wish I was brewing. My Zurich lager yeast needs to hurry up so I can use the fridge for my Pilsner smash.
Brewing a doppelbock.
Brewing a sour Saison? My first sour. Will barrel age for secondary.
Brewed a Mystery Ale today. I'm not really sure what grains went into it, as I was cleaning out some miscellaneous bags from the cabinet and figured I'd use them before they were useless, as they've probably been in there at least 4 months. I >think< it was roughly:
½lb Flaked Oats
½lb Victory
½lb Crystal 120
½lb Belgian Wheat
1½lb 2-row
¼lb Amber Belgian Candi Sugar at 225-263°
1lb Corn sugar @ flameout
All I really know for sure is that it totaled out to 3lb 8.5oz of grains, plus the corn sugar and candi sugar. I first wort hopped with ½oz Liberty at 5.8% AA and ¼oz Amarillo at 8% AA, and added ½oz Citra at 7.5% AA at 5 minutes, and the plan is to double dry hop with Citra and Amarillo. Final volume was a shade over 2½ gallons, and I added half a packet of US-05. It's not really an experiment so much as just having fun, since my hydrometer is broken and I have no clue what most of the ingredients are. It made me feel like I usually do when I cook, because I do that the same way. FEEL the recipe, and just add a bit of this, and a dash of that. The result could be awesome, or it could be an abject failure. Whatever it is, dammit, I had FUN making it!
Just finish an imperial stout with coffee, chocolate and peppers
If this beer turns out well, it'll be in spite of me. Holy mash-mishaps Batman!I'll be taking a stab at Biermuncher's SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde tomorrow. If it's as good as his Centennial Blonde I'll be delighted.
Kegged DIPA Friday, bottle 2nd runnings APA today, brewing modified version of DIPA next weekend with several total noobs who want to learn
Didn't happen. Maybe on the 31st. Definitely on the 7th.Hopefully doing up some Mint Chocolate Stout on Sunday.
That sounds like a darn good combo!
Cooked up a founders stout clone. I made a black mess of my kitchen. Hope I didn't make a mess of the brew!
