Chocolate stout.

Cooper's Original Series Stout kit
1kg Dark DME
250gr Chocolate malt
6ish heaping tablespoons of Cocoa
2-3 tablespoons of lactose (leftover from previous brew)
10-20ml Chocolate extract
2 7gr packages of Cooper's yeast

Steeped the chocolate malt at around 155f for a half hour. Pulled the grain, added the lactose/cocoa and brought the whole mess up to boiling for five minutes. Add chocolate wort, DME and Cooper's Stout concentrate to fermenter and top up to 21 litres with cold water. Final temp around 19C. Sprinkle both packs of yeast and stick the fermenter in fermentation chamber set to 18C +/- 0.5C.

Will add 10-20ml of chocolate extract (to be determined) along with the priming solution on bottling day.

I've used a pretty similar recipe a couple of times in the past, but not recently, and have enjoyed the results.
 
Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, with a few of ounces of leftover Rye thrown in...and some additional hops so I wouldn't have extra of that laying around, oh and substituted a pound of leftover Pilsner. Dang, guess I didn't really brew that beer after all...
Whatever it turns out to be, the Notty is doin' it's thing.

I just brewed a 5 gallon batch of a pale ale that I pitched brett-c into as the sole fermenter. I'm hoping it brings out some good fruity aromas.
 
I have 10 gal of Airedale Amarillo SMaSh and another 10 of Hannie's Summer Wheat cold crashing for kegging on Monday. Next up is 10 gal of porter with half aged on vanilla beans and the other half on cocoa nibs. Contemplating a Kolch, too.
 
A honey hibiscus wit. Putting the hibiscus flowers in during the final stage of the boil turned the wort brilliant purple! I'm stoked!!
 
Rye IPA brewed this morning. East coast heatwave today making me find a cooler spot to ferment
