Breakfast stout clone would be great in the winter.

Going drinking with some old coworkers. Hopefully see a couple local bands play. Sunday? Yard work...

That looks like what happened in spring with the dry Irish stout I made. All of a sudden it got hot outside and I lived in a 3rd floor apartment so it fermented pretty warm. That was 4 months ago and the stouts still taste good. I wouldn't worry about it.

I remember my first AG day. It was a disaster and my efficiency was something like 66%. I didn't close the valve on my mash tun and leaked out about a quart of hot wort on my floor. Now brew days are so routine, I can dial in my beer exactly. You'll get there man, it just takes practice and some...

Land Grant Boom. Tasty.

5 gallons of dunkelweizen from Brewing Classic Styles, and a SMaSH saison with palisade and belgian pilsner.

Still doing 5 gallon batches. I can't drink enough beer or give enough of it away fast enough to justify doing 10 gallons batches. Maybe one day.

Zauber brewery has good German style beers, Seventh Son has a lot of great hoppy beers, but also a good American stout. Wolf Ridge Brewery has a nice new tap room and they have a lot of good beers with a good variety. Four String is a pretty decent brewery, but Friday and Saturday they have...

Bottling. Hands down. Can't wait to start kegging after I move out of this apartment.

5 gal dunkelweizen + 5 gal SMaSH Saison = 11264.5

Brewing a SMaSH saison and a dunkelweizen. Looking forward to working with saison yeast for the first time.

Hops by the pound and reusing yeast have saved me so much money. Get a water report and use tap water. Make it work for you with salt additions. You might find that your water could add some unique flavor to your beer.

I did a DIPA with 2 dry hop additions for 7 days each. Racked off the first dry hops into another fermenter with more dry hops. Turned out awesome. I think 10-14 days would be way too long.

+5 gallons of Belgian witbier = 8259

I had a double IPA at The Great Dane in Wausau, WI. It was just bitter. No hop flavor or aroma, just bitter. I was severely disappointed because some of their other beers are great, specifically Crop Circle Wheat. I honestly don't remember what the worst IPA I had was. I think I repress bad beers.

Chocolate Rasberry Stout. Seriously though, probably a kolsch or helles.

Leinenkugel's Original. It was horrible when I was 20 and it's horrible now. My least favorite commercial craft beer was called a little crazy by Revolution, a good brewery. It had an aftertaste of grape robutussin.
