Just brewed 5g hefeweizen while transferring my 7 month old homemade watermelon wine for more bulk aging. It was a good day. Hit the marks on the hefe and the wine had a really good watermelon taste without being too dry.
 
Early start plans were laid to waste due to staying up late. Ah well...

Underlet strike...

Brewed a Wheat Ale today. Sort of a hybrid of an American Wheat and a Weissbier. 45% Pilsner, 45% Wheat, 5% C50 and 5% flaked corn. Perle and Tettnang to 20 IBU and K97 yeast. 4.5 gal to the fermenter (4 gal batch). Beersmith predicted .050; missed it by that much.

brewed an irish red ale, huell melon pale ale, kentucky common last weekend..
this coming weekend will be brewing whitbier, serrano pale ale, rye ipa and
a nelson sauvin pale ale.
house and garage temps are cool enough to keep fermentation temps in line!
 
It may be a Cascadian Dark Lager or Cold Robust Porter or Czech Dark Lager with a twist but it contains 7kg pilsner malt, 0,5 kg crystal 56, 0,25 grams of each: crystal 225, special b, carafa 2 & 3 dehusked, and 200 g of Simcoe hops.
12 l ferments wirh w34/70, 13 l with polish equivalent of munich lager yeast and last 8 l with voss kveik.
Boom!

Brewing Belgian IPA this weekend.

Batch size; 21 liters
OG: 1.058
FG: 1.010

4kg Pilsner
1kg Vienna
0.5kg Wheat
0.5kg Aromatic

50g Magnum @ 60 Min
75 g Hallertau Smaragd @ 10 min
100 g Southern Passion @ Flame out
100g Cascade Keg hopped.

Yeast: Mangrove Jacks M47 (Belgian Abbey)
 
Rebrewing my previous beer because it went way to fast. Think it only lasted 2 weeks in the keg. I think it’s a cream ale, haven’t figured out what to call it exactly. I used US05 at 60° last time but going to try using Bell’s House yeast from imperial (since it’s almost Oberon day). Think it’ll change the flavor profile too much?

3lb brewers malt
2lb. Pilsner
2lb Vienna
1lb flaked corn
1oz Hallertau mittlefruh 45min
 
220 litres of Apple Juice and Honey Wash for an Apple Jack.
Will press another 200 litres of apple juice for 3 meads (Cysers) this week

.... forgot the Rakija from the apple skins and sugar, lets see how it goes.
