Almost halfway done boiling the Black Butte clone. I am not accustomed to hop additions under the ounce level. Measuring them in grams threw me a little. 24 grams of hops total just feels weird.
 
No brewing this weekend, but I racked my "There Gose Sea Breeze" and added the grapefruit zest and hibiscus tea concentrate. Looks like a giant jar of cranberry sauce! Hopefully, it will be ready to bottle next weekend and will carb in time for Thanksgiving.

Well, I brewed up my Scotch ale on Sat.
Wyeast 1728 once again in the holster. Damn it, I made too much wort even after a 120 min boil. And I know this yeast needs headspace. So since I'm a genius, I split the batch between my glass car boy and a bucket.

Yesterday it appeared that high krausan had come and gone so I figured it was safe to transfer the bucket beer to the carboy lot.

So I did that last night *idiot* I actually know better, but was hoping for the best.

I woke up this morning to half a gallon of scotch ale on my basement floor.

10 second rule?

I recently filled a carboy and underestimated the krausen action. Should have played it safe anyway. Can you say "blow- off tube"?
 
I did a BIAB Sculpin IPA clone on Sunday afternoon, my first brewday in a LONG time. It was so great to get back to it and I'm going to do another BIAB this Saturday. Thanks go to my wife for suggesting I go to the homebrew store last Sat and get enough ingredients for two brewdays. The "Wife of the Year" award has been claimed!

This Sat I'm planning on brewing the "Softer, Juicier, and Uglier APA" recipe by the Mad Fermentationist. He actually made three beers from the same recipe: a Berliner at runoff, saison before whirlpool hop additions and an APA. I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out the numbers using Beersmith and converting it to my 5 gallon BIAB system. I'm no mathlete, so it's proving to be a challenge for me. I also had the crazy idea of splitting the Berliner wort and making a Gose, but that would be a super long brewday.
 
Forget waiting for the weekend. I needed some time away from the family, on my own, so I'm cooking up just a fizzy yellow drinking beer. Coincidence? I think not.

Your wife might need to share the award with mine. I got the ok for a brewstravagansa Sunday. I extract brew and I have 7 recipes ready to go, hoping to do 3 or 4 of them. Can anyone say all day brewing and football![emoji482]
 
Blow off =Serious necessity.
The problem is I always push the limits of 'not enough headspace'. It just seems so sad that it could be used as 'beer space'. But that never works out.

I need a wider diameter blow off tube. My 3/4 inch syphone tube just blows up like an airlock dumping beer on the floor.
 
Hopefully i will have time this saturday to brew another batch of my house beer. pornstar pale. I work all day sunday so thats out.
 
Brewing our Christmas card beer Saturday - the AG red brickwarmer - for the 3rd year in a row. Shoulda prolly brewed it a few weeks ago but I think it's be ready just in time for deliveries mid December.
 
Doing a 10gal batch of Porter on Sunday. Got the starter going last night and i'll be stepping it up today and tomorrow. Half of this batch will be bottled and given to my brother as a 'thank you' for helping out on a bunch of brewdays. The rest will be kegged and guzzled in-house. Cheers!!
 
Brewing a Witbier and an ESB. I'm doing back to back 5 gallon batches with the new HERMS setup. The Witbier will be good to test the new step mash capability and doing back to back will prove out the convenience. I have done back to back before where I had to wait for my one and only kettle to be available to start the next batch. Now I have an electric element in my HLT.

Is it Saturday yet? Is it Saturday yet? Is it Saturday yet? Is it Saturday yet?
 
Brewing a SN Celebration Ale clone on Saturday, then a house pale ale with homegrown cascade hops on Sunday.
 
It is "Learn To Homebrew Day" this Saturday. Our homebrew club has our monthly meeting at Barley John's, a local brew pub. We have also contracted with a local apple orchard. to get fresh pressed cider.

I am getting 15 gallons of cider, and have 5 different hard cider recipes designed and all necessary "additions" purchased and ready to go.
 
Brewing a porter tomorrow for our club's Learn to Homebrew day meeting. 3 gallon BIAB. It will get either coconut or vanilla in the secondary.
 
my best friend is moving into his first house in december so im making an ipa for it since its his favorite beer. but going to be using simcoe and amarillo for the first time.
 
Brewing an Irish red, kinda nervous because this is the first brew on my new equipment, but it will still be beer even if i make a small error
 
Version 2.0 of the gluten free hard root beer. Version 1 was good, but lacked caramel body. I made 4 lbs of candi syrup today, and I'm hoping that I was able to convert enough to have some residual sweetness. I'll likely keg in 2 weeks and be ready by thanksgiving.
