Hello from Colorado

[Smogre]

Hello Everyone!
My buddy, Malkore, told me about this place and while researching stir plates I stumbled on it and decided to sign up.

Lemme see here. I've been brewing for about 4 years now. I love this time of year because I start making all my seasonal cold weather stuff. Porters, Stouts, Holiday spiced brews, etc. I'm a total hophead and always have some sort of IPA in the keg. I wrestled about 30 gallons of beer last weekend and I can't wait until they're ready.

Cheers!

Smogre

Welcome to the forum! Wow 30 Gallons, you don't mess around when you start brewing . Are you doing 10 gallon batches?

I'm fairly new here too and from Colorado - so I might as well introduce myself as well . I have been a bit more active on a couple other boards and recently started reading this one daily.

Smogre, where are you located?

Welcome to HBT Smogre and caskconditioned!
Aurora here. Always good to see folks from Colorado.
Who else made it to the HB conference?

 

[Hemi]

I wanted to go but had a bit too much on my plate at the time. Look forward to the GABF however!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I'm out in Littleton, caskconditioned.
I have to admit the 30 gallon day was only because I got lazy with my secondaries. I do 5 gallon boils and my brew buddy does the same. We alter hops or a little specialty grains or something to see what we like best.
It's AG and we run dual burners. It gets a bit hot in there. Especially with these recent super hot weekends.

I couldn't make it either - work trip. But I will be at the GABF

I have a Saison conditioning (2 weeks old). I was going to brew an APA this weekend but looks like other life obligations are going to keep me from brewing until the following weekend. On tap I have a German Hefeweisen and an APA (house brew).

I hear ya. Personally I would love to brew full time but life seems to bring other "hypothetically" more important priorities to the table

 

[RichBrewer]

I don't have anything fermenting and I haven't brewed in a long long time.
It has not been a good brewing year. Maybe in a couple weeks...

I only have a smoked Vanilla Porter in the secondary right now.
I too, haven't had a very productive brewing year.
