At least post a pic of this thing before it swallows up your entire neighborhood.

An English barley wine I brewed back in March. I needed to see how it was conditioning.

In the middle of a boil right now. Experimental batch. 2.5 gallons of Stout with Weihenstephaner yeast.

Is this the stuff in the blue bottle? If so it came out right when I was discovering craft beer and lived a block from one of the only places to get anything other than BMC. I remember thinking about buying a bottle for weeks and then finally giving in. I wasn't sure what the hell I was...

Kearney! My birthplace! I may have to get an entry together.

Not too soon to bottle assuming fermentation is done. Whether it will be carbed to your satisfaction by 7/16 is another question entirely. Personally I wouldn't drink a barley wine that soon after bottling because it will probably be a little hot still. YMMV

Thanks for resurrecting it. I needed that extra chuckle tonight.:mug:

I'm getting ready to brew a RIS that will have an OG of 1120 in theory and am planning on just using the Irish Ale (Wyeast 1084) yeast cake from a cream stout that's just about ready. The last time I used an entire yeast cake was when I brewed two batches of Patersbier back to back which was...

I used to make Cream of Wheats with Watney's Cream Stout and Boulevard Wheat back in the mid 90's.

Love Deschutes Black Butte. They don't distribute east of Missouri though. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald is pretty great. Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter is pretty good as is Fuller's for the English style.

I'm going to do the NB Midnight Beatdown Wheaten Porter partial mash kit Saturday night. I haven't done a kit in awhile but this one sounded really good.

I did 10 gallons last weekend. The first batch was a case and a half of 12 oz bottles and the rest in 22s. I dug out all my empty 22 and 24 oz bottles for the second batch and only wound up with a 12 pack of 12 oz bottles.:tank:

Just pitched the yeast (1084) into a 5 gallon batch of Deception Cream Stout. I went with 5 lbs. of amber DME to 1 lb. of wheat DME and bittered with Northern Brewer because I didn't have any Magnum.

16273 + 5 gal. Deception Cream Stout 16278

I just saw New Belgium Ranger in cans last week for the first time. I'm pretty sure they can Sunshine Wheat, too.

How many gallons of beer? I'd just use the Northern Brewer priming calculator and choose the Mile Ale or British Bitter kit.

I've got a 2.5 gallon all-grain ESB and a 5 gallon partial mash oatmeal stout ready to go. I'm hoping to get them both in on Saturday night depending on how early I get started. One may have to wait until Sunday but I like brewing late so probably not.

12351 + 4 gal of Patersbier 12355

I like the way you think, OP. I don't think I've ever started a brewing session before 10 pm. I always do it on Saturday night after SWMBO and the dog have gone to bed.

Just racked my Patersbier to secondary so I could use the yeast in another batch of the same I have boiling right now. I didn't feel like running to the LHBS today so I'm using some Fuggle I had on hand instead of the Saaz the recipe called for. Should be OK since the yeast is the star of this...
