Post if you're brewing today

[DrinksWellWithOthers]

The porter's in the carboy and almost everything is put away. Didn't get hit with any rain so that's a plus. Though I did make a couple mistakes today - forgot the Irish Moss and forgot to take a gravity sample.

Oh well.. guess I'll have to brew again tomorrow. Practice makes perfect, right?

A little late in the day, but I'm about to brew up a belgian wit.

Brewed for the first time in about six months. ESB that turned into a SB. "Michael Bishop's Finger"

I brewed up Dude's Lakewalk Pale Ale today. Can't wait to try it, the reviews are extremely positive.

we did a raspberry wheat today. First time I will try fruit in beer. Of course it has to wait for the fruit, so it will eventually be a fruit beer. OG 1.064!

still tossing around frozen fruit or puree. anyone have any major preference between the two?

All went well with may American Wheat today aside from a few pesky stuck spares. Wheat you know can be pesky stuff.

I think I'll be done and cleaned up in about 6.5 hours, including the trip to the LHBS before I got going. 1st one was a partial mash, then while it boiled I steeped the grains for the 2nd one (extract + specialty).

It wound up being 9:45 to 4:45 (7 hours) to drive to the LHBS (30 minutes each way), get ingredients for 2 recipes, and brew.

Having 2 brew kettles and having the ingredients on hand in the morning would each shave off more than an hour, but it was still a fine day. I made slow-roasted chicken BBQ during the day, too. SWMBO works 9-5 on Saturday, so I basically dropped her off, went to LHBS, brewed 2 batches, and had dinner on the table when she got home.

First time brewing w/o her, though, so that was a little odd.

Brewed up another batch of Orange/Cascades. Took about 4 or 5 hours. Not many curve balls. I cant wait till its drinkable in a few months

Just brewed my first Hydromel/Braggot

6.5lbs of blueberry honey, 1lb pale liquid extract.
Threw in 1/3rd oz of Saaz during the pasteurization and filtered them out in the carboy
Balanced the pH to 4.2 with 1 & 1/2 tsp malic acid
OG : 1.052

Gearing up to aerate the bugger. Pitching the activated WYeast American ale yeast in 1 hour.

Was looking for domestic beer drinkability with the exquisite flavor of honey.
Very excited about this one. Going to be very light in color. Had wonderful notes of sweet blueberry and the saaz comes through as a subtle zingy spice aftertaste

I brewed up Dude's Lakewalk Pale Ale today. Can't wait to try it, the reviews are extremely positive.

I brewed a batch of Lake Walk last week. God i love this beer. This is my second batch. The Orange/Cascade pale Ale is a close second for me.

It seems as if everyone who's tried Lakewalk loves it. I hope I did it justice, I want to see what the hype is all about!
