Bottled my Porter and kegged my ESB and All Chinook IPA. All of the samples were fantastic.

The only thing that scares me is that I just recently picked up these soda kegs, and even though I've run pbw and star san through them, they still have a little soda smell. The esb one really did, but it was too late, I had already racked it. I've already got 2 kegged and tapped though that came out fine, so I'm hopeful the esb will be ok.

I need to get the proper tool so I can just break them down and clean thoroughly and replace all of the gaskets.
 
Brewing on Saturday (5/7) a Scottish 90/-... That's the style it's closest to. Started off as a dark cream ale, but the yeast (Wyeast 1318) could produce some fruity esters, so it's more in line with a Scottish 90/-... Brewing a the LHBS sponsored brew-day, so I'll get pretty much all the ingredients for $0...
 
Four gallons of strike water heating up for tonight's brew session as I type this. DubbelDach's Cascades / Orange Pale Ale is plugged into Beer Smith. I just opened the the first of my last three homebrews and SWMBO is off to the store to pick me up a sixer to carry me through the session.

Damn...I love brew days! :mug:
 
I'll be putting both a California Common and an Imperial IPA into secondary (and dry hopping the IPA with Cascade and Chinook). If it weren't for rent wiping my bank account, I'd brew up a raspberry weizen, but that'll have to wait until I get paid again.
 
So its my weekend Im off Tues-Fri. Im brewing a Bloody Red Irish Ale named so because I just sliced the crap out of my hand on a wine glass doing dishes. Thanks to redman67 for the recipe! Drinking an Snpa clone that I keep on tap.
 
I'm brewing an ESB tomorrow around noon. This morning I got out my London ESB Wyeast smack pak to get it ready for tomorrow and I guess I smacked it too hard because it's all over my living room floor now; first one I've ever had do that before. My LHBS has a very limited selection and doesn't carry that type of yeast. Any suggestions on a good alternative? I don't care about keeping to style or anything like that, I just want good beer. I haven't done much experimenting with yeast and I don't know what type of flavors to expect from different types. My LHBS only has the Wyest smack paks (maybe 8-9 different types) and dry Nottingham and my fermenting area stays around 67 degrees. Thanks for any input. :mug:
 
Brewing the Fresh Squeezed IPA and a Saison tomorrow!!

Care to share the fresh squeezed IPA recipe?


This morning I got out my London ESB Wyeast smack pak to get it ready for tomorrow and I guess I smacked it too hard because it's all over my living room floor now; first one I've ever had do that before.

I've had that fear once or twice. My last one I did I think was on the verge of blowing!!!!
 
Brewing what I'd call a garbage can wheat, with 4# wheat, 3# pils, 1# honeymalt and scattered amounts light grains I've had around for too long. Should be....interesting. Still on the fence as to whether or not I want to make this my first experiment with lemon zest as well.

Either brewing BM's Centennial Blonde or the Blood Orange Hefe this weekend...

Couldn't choose between the two so doing both tomorrow. Starter is going for the hefe and I'm overnight mashing the blonde later tonight...
 
I will (finally) be doing my first all-grain Saturday morning.
EdWort's Haus Ale seems like a good way to get things started.
 
kegging a Hoegaarden clone tonight and brewing a Kolsch tomorrow after I take the wife out to breakfast for Mother's Day.
 
I am thinking of brewing on Monday. I have two session ales in mind, which will include a repitch directly onto the yeast cake (which I usually never do). The first is a Mild, the second an Ordinary Bitter with American hops. I am trying to resurrect some 006 Bedford British yeast that expired last November, thus far without much luck. If it's not showing any activity by tomorrow, I'll probably switch to dry yeast.
