Our faithful family dog passed away yesterday. He was a German Shepherd named Dante, so I figured I would make a German summer beer in his memory today.

Noble Old Man D's Honey Hefeweizen.

A few days behind on this, but I feel for you. We lost our Dante, a cocker spaniel, just a year ago. I brewed 2 batches named for him before that, Dante's Dunkel, and plan to make this an annual brew, although a little behind on #3.
 
I'm holding a club brew day on Saturday. Did it last year and had about 8 people brewing, but looks a little lean this time around.
Also brewing a quick extract batch on Thu with my Neice for her Bf's 21st bday next month.
 
Did an ESB last Sunday, and I think I should use this Kolsch yeast I'm building up this weekend. Then I need to start thinking about that Dark Helmet Imperial Chocolate Stout for this winter.
 
Bottling my Oktoberfest Lager that has been lagering at 34F for four weeks this Saturday and brewing an imperial stout as well to get that going. Plan to ferment for 2 weeks or so, transfer to secondary for aging/conditioning for a month at least before bottling... When that one goes in the secondary I will brew a harvest IPA from my homegrown cascade and hopefully by then, Chinook hops... But that plant took off slow before I transplanted due to being in a bad spot with not enough sun...
 
Gonna be cooler this weekend & new stove should be here any time now. Wanna brew the Hellfire IIPA this weekend. Hope I'm feeling better by then?...
 
Last weekend brewed a Drunk Monk Belgian Dark Ale. On day 4 of primary it blew out the airlock a bit.
This weekend will be brewing an all grain Cinnamon and Spice Oatmeal Stout!
Christmas presents for the fam and myself! Yumm!
 
9-10 gallons of 2 Hearted IPA clone tonight. Centennial hops are picked and freshly dried. Bells yeast starter is at peak viability.
 
Finally back to brewing after a year off ... This weekend it's a Northern Brewer Kiwi IPA I made previously and it was fantastic.
 
Maybe Sunday? Latest fridge repair finally getting it to cool down again. Gotta get it right before I can chill spring water & keep big bag of ice frozen. Then Hellfire IIPA, here I come!
 
Brewed 2.5 G of Irish Red. Chilling it to ferm temps now.

Recipe OG - 1.056
Actual OG - 1.064

Looks like I will never have a beer under 6% ABV... estimated FG is 1.013.

:(

(Yes, I know I am the one that added 1/2 a cup of honey to the boil!!!)
 
Just started the mash...forgot to get my RO water last night so I didnt get started on time...how do you forget water?!? Oh well...should be a fun day!
 
Dry hopping kinda weekend. American barleywine been sitting around aging, time for it's big blast of dry hops, 1.5 oz overall into 3gal. My IPA dry hop went in yesterday, my ale/lager got dry hopped today. All samples tasted pretty good and amazingly dry lager flavors from nottingham at 59F.
 
Considering brewing a hazelnut porter...maybe with cocoa nibs. Question: I found a recipe for Jamil's Hazelnut Porter and it calls for 4 packages of yeast in a 5 gallon batch. Another version called for 2-1/2 vials or 2-1/2 packages. Has anyone done this beer? And is a huge volume of yeast really necessary? (If so, why?) If you guys want to stay on topic, you can PM me. Thanks!
 
I did my first all grain today.
Its a 3.25 gallon Hoppy Wheat Ale.

Congrats. No looking back now. It's gotcha.

I brewed a Coffee Stout this morning. Well right now it's just a stout, adding whole beans to primary after fermentation. Target OG was 1.069, I ended up at 1.067.
