Not me. Working. But while im gone, my wife is bottling a cream ale for me this weekend!
 
Either a porter or a dry stout, have a yeast cake of wlp 007 that I'm gonna pull my bitter off of, haven't decided what which I'll do yet.
 
Assuming FedEx makes good delivering my new Better Bottle tomorrow, I'm going to throw together a batch of cider. Otherwise, it'll be whatever day next week the thing arrives.

Argh! No dice, apparently they just like getting your hopes up. They sent the shipping notification 30 hours before they actually picked up the delivery. :mad: Jerks.
 
I cranked up the starter for a Bohemian Pilsner this week. It is going to be my first attempt at lagering. Brewing Sunday afternoon.

Tuesday night I'm bottling my Abbey Ale.
 
First batch has begun!!! I'm pumped!!!! One problem though, I've watched videos and read billions of threads and one thing I keep reading is you must have a homebrew, while you home brew. Since this is my first batch I don't have any. :(

So the question is..... Which came first, the home brew or the home brewer ?
 
Heating the strike water for my 1st 10 gallon batch, my favorite summer session brew, a spotted cow clone.
 
Mashing a fwh marris otter/chinook SMaSH right now so I can compare to the amarillo SMaSH I made last weekend.
 
2 lbs US 2-row
2 lbs wheat
1/2 60L Crystal
3 lbs Muntons Amber DME

I am going with 1 oz Northen at 45 min and 1/2 oz Cascade at 15 min with Lallemand Windsor yeast. Figure I'll end up with a kolsh/bitter hybrid!
 
Just cleaned up from my first double brew day. I did a pale ale, 4.5% abv, with loads of late citra additions. Its also my first time using WLP007, just looking to change it from 1056. I then did a brown ale with a pound of chocolate rye malt, 1/2 pound of flaked rye, and marris otter as a base. I am shooting for a bready, pumpernickel like beer for fall. This will be my test batch and I am splitting it between wlp002 and wlp028.
 
Practice run on dark candi sugar, seemed to go well, tasted nice.

Going to take some into work and test fermentability on the stir plate.
 
Black Ipa going on tomarrow at the ripoff time of early day also.Who decided to change time and add days to the year anyway? And why is the world not flat like it should be? And why cant i find a new cell phone battery anywhere?
 
If the world were flat, I'd live on the edge for sweet low and tangential gravity...if it worked that way
 
Brewing up a half batch of Widmer's X-114 right now. Really looking forward to seeing how close it is. Should at least be decent since it's a scaled version of the actual recipe.
