As I sit here sipping another glass of EdWort's Apfelwein, I have decided that I have to make another batch of this stuff this week in addition to my Kolsch.
 
I'm doing 10 gallons of BM's cream ale and 5 gallons of a maple pecan nut brown on Wednesday. May make another 5 gallons of hard cider too.
 
Just finished up a chocolate java stout in the garage (w/the door open) with a nasty rain storm coming down. Took forever to hit boiling today. But everything turned out OK other than just getting cold and wet.

Looking forward to turkey day when I can offer my guests an Irish Red Ale, a Cream Stout and a nice Copper Ale.

I was either going to brew today or tomorrow depending on how my business went. It went, so I could take care of this a bit early.
 
We bottled my wife's summer ale clone yesterday. So I'm cleaning the FV,bottling bucket,etc today. It'll be the beginning of December before we get more stuff to brew again. But we do have 2 batches of ale at a total of 118 bottles for Christmas. So we at least got that one covered.
 
If I can get the brass gas part to make a brewery repair I'll be brewing the Westy 12 clone I have been telling myself I'd brew for the last decade.
 
I'm giving my son and his friends their first brewing lesson Friday. Ten gallons of Pale Ale. Think I'll forgo the drill and let them hand crank out 24lbs on the barley crusher. ;)
 
Debating on whether or not to try making a quick winter holiday beer the weekend after Thanksgiving.
 
Well, I want spent grain bread for T-giving, so I'm doing a Simcoe/Maris Otter SMASH Wed. Oh crap, that's tomorrow!
 
Going to do some sort of vanilla bourbon porter this weekend. Usually not a huge porter fan, and have never brewed one, but after having the ESP at Elk Head Brewing in Buckley going to give one a go
 
I'm doing my first two all grain brews over Thanksgiving. An Alpha King Pale Ale clone that I converted from an extract recipe that I really liked making and attempting an Alagash White
 
I'm doing my Northern Brewer Chinook IPA all grain kit on Turkey Day. My second all grain. The first one went fine. "knocking on wood" Wish me luck.
 
Looking at upgrading my system to a 3 tier gravity set-up. I'll be ordering supplies this week (a total DIY job). Once it's set up, I'm going to do a Pecan Porter. It will be my first using yeast I harvested from my last ale. It will also be the first with whole leaf hops. I'll have a few smack-packs on-hand in case the yeast doesn't activate / isn't viable. I woul welcome advice on the use of whole leaf hops vs pellets if anyone has recommendations.
 
If I have time I am hoping to brew a honey amber ale recipe that I have been working on. I also need to move my barleywine to secondary on oak.
 
Brewing a Rye Pale Ale tomorrow all Centennial hops, gotta make a small dent in the two pounds I have.
 
Brewed a batch Friday and Tuesday night...Bottling right now (wednesday) and probably brewing a Centennial/Grapefruit IPA this afternoon
 
Ol Lefty's Brown Ale and My Blackest Friday Porter......well hopefully. 2 brews in one wekend, all be it a long weekend, needs approval from SWMBO and I forgot to submit my request in triplicate 7 days in advace.

Kidding aside, my SWMBO is usually pretty cool about me brewing these days....hopefully I can push my luck to double brews......
 
How about bottling..? Does that count? Look at that bottle in my hand.. does that count? Handouts? Who can resist my smile? Fill it up.. please.. then I can sing "Drinkin' from a mason jar... " (I Love This Bar- Good Toby Keith tune)
