It's Friday...who's brewing this weekend?

I've got a Oatmeal stout brewing right now. Can I drink it yet, can I can I please!

No! Now go find a ruler and rap yourself across the knuckles with it for pennance.

The 1075 "Dubbel Yer Pleasure" is chugging away nicely at 36 hours.

Looks nice BM.. does your temp probe leave a bad gap for air to get in? from the pic it looks like its just in there pushing the blow off tube aside.

My CAP is at saccharification rest now, and will be for another 90 minutes, thanks to needing to run an errand or two. Then it's boil, chill, and pitch.

Nah...the blow off is in there a good inch or so.

I just moved the space heater over near the fermenter so in a few hours I recon the fermentation temp will be at 70. I'll keep it there for 48 hours and then bump it another 2 degrees.

I got my pale all brewed up before lunch... now I need to figure out what I'm going to brew next weekend. Oh the troubles of a brewing man...

Is it the Sam Adam's Boston Ale you cloned? My girlfriend brought home one of those Sam Adam's variety cases the other day and I tried the Boston Ale. It was really good. There is a strong caramel taste to it that is really nice. Can you post the recipe or a link to it?

Yup, I guess you could say its the Boston Ale. It's done with Amber DME, dry ale yeast, halletauer and tettnang. It's one of the first recipes I did when I started brewing many moons ago and has been my go to ever since.

I pulled a few draws off the keg last night and got a funny yeasty taste to it. I'm wondering if I didn't clean the keg well enough (maybe some residue in the dip tube). Not enough to not drink it but certainly not up to snuff. Maybe it will mellow over a few weeks.

After drinking way too much at the War of the Worts, sleeping in late was necessary. Once up, I got in a decent run (silly attempt to stop the hang-over.) It was after noon before we even ate breakfast. After relaxing a while, I bottled a couple of sixes and kegged the rest of a English Ale from a few weeks ago.

All this leads up to starting the brew day really late. Didn’t pitch until 10:30PM, but having a batch of Robust Porter in the basement makes it all worthwhile.

Congrats to everyone who had a successful brew session this weekend!

Met at a buddy's house 9am saturday and left about 1030pm!

We got 50 gallons into the fermenters. Wasn't worth a damn Sunday!
