HB chocolate Doppelbock. Last night of summer break.

HB Cascade and Willamette Pale Ale

Attempting a wet hop IPA with Cascade on Sunday

Will be brewing a triple chocolate imperial oatmeal milk stout on Thursday. Spiced with Vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa nibs and ghost peppers. This is one I try to always have on tap but it goes fast!

Willamette and Cascade Pale Ale. Overnight mash and early brew morning tomorrow

I’ve enjoyed brewing single hop pales as well. Great way to get to know a hop. I’ve always liked mosaic, didn’t realize it had a bad rap!

Brewing the last of 3 wedding beers tomorrow. 10 gallon Azacca/Mosaic IPA

Brewing 10 gallons of cream ale tomorrow. Second of three batches for an end of August wedding.

I dumped it. I guess I’m wondering if it’s any worse than eating moldy bread? I’ve got a few kegs that taste just fine but likely had moldy grain in it.

I’ve been noticing clumps like this in my brewers malt. I’m sure I’ve brewed and drank several batches having not paid much attention to the clumps. Beer has been good. I have 100 lbs left. Any thoughts?

Brewing my annual Birthday Brown tomorrow. It’s a huge beer that will sit for 12 months to be enjoyed next year. Last years batch sat on apple brandy soaked medium toast oak cubes and turned out pretty nice. Not sure what this one will sit on yet. 🤔

Just got asked to supply 6 kegs for a wedding at the end of August, so Thursday just became a brew day. 10 gallons of Blonde Ale to start.

Brown ale with some toasted oats

20 minutes into an extended boil after a length but enjoyable decoction mash. This is a long brewday! Adding cocoa powder to the boil and dry hop with nibs for a hopefully nice chocolate Doppelbock.

Not the weekend but my 3 year old is on quarantine as a close contact for about the 6th time this year. I’ve missed more work this year than my entire working life before that. I could sit and stew or sit and brew. So, Doppelbock grain crushed and ready to get after it tomorrow! Brew on!

Not enough time to brew the Doppelbock this weekend so decided on a quick and simple cream ale.

How do you make a hormone? Squeeze her ****s.

Brewing a Doppelbock Saturday. The only decoction mash in my rotation.

Update - moving this off of yeast today to sit until kegged in September. Gravity sample was 1.022 so about 12% abv. At this point the roasted malts really dominate but there is definitely some complexity and layers coming through. A little hot but it should mellow over time. Will post back in...
