    Sadly, not I, but I already have 3 fermenting so not to worry.

    I'm definitely going to be DRINKING beer though!!!

    I made a starter today for my 847 Suburban Wheat I will be brewing tomorrow. I might transfer my IPA to secondary as well. Hopefully I'm not too hung over.:cross:

    Got done crushing for my Helles Belles about 20 minutes ago.

    I have a lot of beer chores to do tomorrow in addition to this 10-gallon brew.

    I WISH! I don't even have home brew to drink yet. Right now my first batch is carbing in the bottles. I'll be hitting the local brew/pub tonight for a couple and maybe bring home a batch of something decent from their bottled selection.

    I had planned to brew, probably tonight, but got banned from the kitchen stove. Might have to look up heat stck instructions and brew in the basement.

    Sorry, nothing to put it in... I have yet to clean the carboy from the wine making days. The Pail is in it's 3rd day of fermentation and perfectly stable at 65 deg. All the rest of the equipment is on the way...

    UPS just drove by... dang I only wish I had made it Next Day Delivery.

    Gonna do the Paulaner Hefe clone out of the BYO mag tomorrow (partial mash). Sounds like a productive endeavor to me....and next weekend I'm going to do the Yukon Red out of the same mag.... Gotta get the primaries full with something.

    Probably not on the first as I'm brewing a hang-over right now. The second and third for sure unless I brew both batches on the same day.

    Almost finished with the mash for my first AG pale ale. Not sure how the recipe will turn out because I suspect the LHBS mis-measured my grain bill. Oh well, it smells good-- I bet it will turn out yummy. :cool:

    I actually never said what I was doing...:drunk: I racked Mylo's XMas Ale to secondary Tuesday, had Spooky's Choc-o-let Stout last night. SWMBO got me a 365 beer desk calander...pretty cool, on Sunday they give you a recipe from Saturday's beer...So today I will have a Young's Double Chocolate Stout, it was supposed to be Young's Winter Warmer but couldn't find it. Tomorrow is Lost Coast Downtown Brown then Schneider Weisse Saturday. Mmmm...Yummy!

    I'm also in the process fo getting my AG setup together...can't wait!!:ban:

    Then we go to the Fiesta Bowl Monday!!! Go Buckeyes!!!

    On Sunday the 4th Photohand and myself are going to brew a 12 gallon batch of Caspio's Amber ale, and a 10 gallon batch of a sweet stout. Twoheadsbrewing may make the drive up, I just had drinks w/ a woman last night that brews extract, and she may come over to watch, and have a pint as well. Anyone else in the area is ALWAYS welcome. Cheers
