Plinian Legacy bottled today so we now have an Irish Stout in secondary and a Vandal Eyes PA in primary that brewed today. All are NB extract kits. Think I will try a BIAB in the real near future. Next stop on the path to all grain. 
What's in your fermenter(s)?

5G session IPA.
Just to clarify,BIAB isn't just AG. It can be used in partial mash as well. I do Partial Boil,Partial Mash biab & it works just as well for that. The mash doesn't care about it's size 
. My Irish red is finishing up after initial fermentation, bubbling occasionally. The ESB I brewed on NHB day is still bubbling,but not the machine pistol bubbling like yesterday. That S-04 yeast re-hydrated is pretty fast,like they say it is. I believe it now fer sher. The red might just be ready for Memorial day after all...

Please let me know how that turns out! I was planning one f my next smashes to be GP and Columbus so i'm super interested. How much Columbus will you be using and at what times?
I'm on a tear. Today I racked 5G of Patersbier IPA, and 5G of Session IPA and 5G of Pale Ale (yes, they're different! ). Going to be brewing at least twice more this week.

Good point. I think maybe I've just seen one too many buthurt posts on HBT, and didn't want any BIAB AG brewers to get defensive.
12 gallons of North German Altbier fixin to get kegged and lagered this week and 12 gallons of Saison fixin to get kegged.
11 gallons of the house IPA
Nice conical.
Do you actually need a blowoff tube with that much headspace, or do you just do a blowoff tube with every batch to be safe? Not sure of your experiences with it, but I would suggest keeping the growler below the level of the beer - I have a fishtank that drained itself halfway twice thanks to an air-intake tube for the pump that got backed up and started to siphon until the water level inside the tank was lower than the end of the intake tube. A blowoff tube carries much greater volume of air, so it takes more pressure to start that siphon, but it can (and does) happen in certain circumstances.
An overpitched IPA, bubbling away

I still have an Irish Red Ale in my primary, as I haven't been able to bottle it yet. I found a bottle bomb today in my Strong Scottish Ale. Then another bottle bomb went off and again another. I was hoping it was a bad priming sugar blend but, a gusher went off when I opened it. Damn, that sucks. I had something happen at bottling with my priming sugar. Arrgh.
Good point! I hadnt thought about that.
It's a US plastics 17gal induction tank - This is the second year I've used it. I havent had much luck with sealing the lid so it rarely bubbles and I could do away with the blow off.

My Irish red has been fermenting since a week ago last Sunday. The ESB I brewed on NHB day last Saturday is already past initial fermentation as of today. Both used re-hydrated S-04 yeast. Seems like the ESB is catching up to the red quite rapidly. Many of you said,as did the manufacturer,that S-04 can ferment out quickly. Seems like that's basically true.

I have a Munich gold lager with 65% Munich type I, about 33% blend of Best pils and floor malted maris otter, and a couple percent acid malt. Czech pils yeast and noble hops to about 23 IBU. Hoping for something between a Marzen and Helles. Should be good. OG was 1.053, expecting it to finish around 1.012.
6 gallons of flanders red:rockin:
Now for the looong wait.

Pretty much any of us here. Especially if the airlock is saying hello.
Was busy with mother's day yesterday,so I gotta get FG's on both the Irish red & ESB today. That S-04 works pretty quick when pitch temps are close to equal.

My version of Fuzzy's Hi Nelson saison!
An ESB that finished & settled out clear in two weeks flat. Gonna bottle it today. Clear,amber-orange color & nice balance already. Funny thing is,I brewed it the weekend after the Irish red,which seemed to have stuck tuesday.

In one I have a simple mr beer kit with muntons yeast, and in the other, I have 1 gallon of arnold palmer in it's secondary stage. The mr beer kit was almost too simple since I've been brewing wine and cider for about a year now, but who passes up free beer??? As for the arnold palmer, it is VERY acidic, but I am not going to basksweeten it, instead I'm going to let the user add sugar to taste, just like you would any other iced tea... once it has sugar in it, it tastes amazing! Once the sugar is added, it tastes like a sweeter twisted tea with a hint of lemon... I'm definatly going to make a 5 gallon of this...
