Was a long PAC craft fair day, didnt have time to take gravity readings, but my equipment is sanitizing now to get that done. Since I don't have a capper yet, or any PET's with caps, I'm going to be patient and let this first batch age. I plan to rack batch #2 onto pumpkin in the secondary late this week if the readings are all good. If fermentation is finished should I get it onto pumpkin as quickly as possible, or be patient with it? (Sorry, not to hijack this thread :eek: )
 
Saturday brew day complete. First all grain batch today! On the menu....Russian Imperial Stout. Anyone wanna taste?

it won't hurt anything to let the brew age a few days until you can get decent bottles.

and, i can't answer your question about the pumpkin, but one thing i'm learning (the hard way) is that being patient is the right answer about 99% of the time in this hobby
 
A personalized version of a west coast ipa. Not quite on par with stone brewery but I had them In mind as I made this batch. Hoping for the best. And worst case scenario I'm still drinking it when it's done
 
Id be lucky to make anything today...too buzzed from the tasting we went to earlier at red hare brewery!
 
I brewed my first all grain batch today. 5.25 gals of an Oatmeal Vanilla Stout. Had a blast, efficiency was great, my DIY mash lauter tun worked great. Good brew day.
 
Yeah, nothing more disappointing than having to cancel a brew day. I've got some time off next week, so maybe I can do it then. I'm glad I didn't already mill my grain yet!

Cheers!
 
No brewing. Kegged a Belgium ipa and secondaried an American pale ale. Monday is brew day. Amber ale that will be the house beer.
 
Put my pale ale in the secondary, did some bottle cleaning, moved a few bottles from a previous batch to the fridge, prepped gear for my next batch which won't probably happen until after Christmas. Ill be ok until then, I still have fourteen gallons of various brews conditioning. Beyond that just doing some recipe research for the weeks ahead.
 
Picked up a 7.8 gallon fermentation bucket today from the LHBS and have a 5 gallon batch of cider going.
 
Well just started my boil so ill finish on saturday techinically.

Tomorrow I'm brewing a Winter Wheat beer - figure I only have a couple more brew weekends before I can't brew "winter" things anymore.

This is also the second to last one gallon batch I make before I upgrade to 2.5 gallons (for the most part).
 
Gotta check the SG on my pm pale ale 3 weeks in primary today. Still gotta scrub the BK & strainer for the 2nd time & clean a few bottles.
 
Not brewing today as planed. Shipment got here late yesterday and got my yeast starter going last night for a Belgian Dubbel that I will brew up on Monday.
 
I'm going to brew something I don't have a recipe written for yet and probably won't be drinking for at least a year and a half. :D
