Brewing this weekend!

I'm not unfortunatly. And I probably wont be brewing for a long time, I deploy in Jan.

Bottling my bitter (can't seem to keep enough of this on hand) and rebrewing my stout - need to drop the mash temp a smidge and dry it out a little more.

It took awhile, but I finally got my household chores done (damn, I hate cleaning the pool filter) and it's brew time!

Currently sparging a batch of my ESB. Switched it up a little this time, and substituted maris otter for the 3lb of 2 row base malt. I also had to make some very slight last minute hop adjustments, as I was a touch low on Tettnang. It'll be interesting to see what the differences are.

Today I'm brewing outside for the first time. Hopefully it will go a lot faster than my usual kitchen routine.

Well it's -3°C out side. That's the fastest chill I've ever done.
It's draining into the ferment and I'm ready for bed. I'm up in 6 hours.

So what, that's like warm, right?

It's quite pleasant actually if you are wrapped up.
No wind or rain, that makes all the difference.

Anyway, the blow off tube is on the Goblin. I reckon this is probably about batch 20 of the stuff.

my efficiency is really sucking at present. I'm putting it down to the warminster malt rather than the Thomas fawcett I normally use.

Just finished up an Old Speckled Hen clone. It was an interesting adventure. I had to make my own invert sugar so I did on the Banjo while the grains were mashing. The sugar gets added late in the boil so it was a bit of an adventure getting the completely solid lump of pure amber sugar out of the pot. I had to put the pot right into the boiling wort to soften it up. The sugar actually cracked when the pot hit the hot wort.

Just the make the day that much better, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the Eastern division semi-finals and will go to Toronto to play for the Eastern title. Two more wins and the Grey Cup comes home. It was a great game. Right down to the wire. The Western semi-final is on now and it's turning into quite the battle too. Football and beer. Nice.

Oh, and it got up to 7 Celcuis here today. Not bad for November.

Brewed an AHS Mini Mash Nut Brown. My first beer using a turkey fryer made boiling so much easier.

Didn't make as many mistakes as first time. Took almost 4 hours from start to finish. Timed sanitations a lot better as well

Brewed an all amarillo IPA on Saturday. Lots of experiments involved with the recipe to try to get a more full bodied IPA without losing the American IPA charm. We'll see how it went in a few weeks. =)
