Brewed a Pale Ale today, using up some leftover grains. Ended up with 65% Pilsner, 28% Munich 10, and 7% Viking 100 which is 50 SRM. Centennial, Cascade, and Citra to 35 IBU. That makes it a CCC APA.

Managed to sneak out of work a bit early today, so I'm doing a rare evening brewday. Today it's a Mosaic Smash, and for the very first time in my history the hops will go in commando. Got me a paint stirrer that created a very nice glump of hop goo when I tested it with some very old (2019 I think) pellet hops, and very little got past the mesh basket I turned over it before transferring; so this just might work. Mashing right now, I do love the smell of a straight two-row mash.
 
Brewing my annual gluten free Maple Milk Stout today. A candy cap mushroom tincture will be used to impart the maple flavor...the results are always been bangin'!
 
Tomorrow I am trying my hand at a rice lager, for the very first time. I've had great success in the last year with cream ales, so I thought let's take it to the next level. Got the grain milled, and the rice as well. My rice cooker will handle 4lbs of rice no problem for the cereal mash (somebody forgot to buy minute rice at the store today so have to go old school). Looking forward to this brewday.
 
Not a beer, but I just put in the fermenter what should become a red wine.
Some juice left and now thinking of making a beer-wine hybrid tomorrow :)
 
Saturday - second iteration of last year's attempt at a pumpkin ale, that turned out better than expected with some re-priming and a few months to age; hoping to do a little better this time around, first time around. Relying on my favorite yeast ever, S-04, to be the hero.
 
Slowly getting back in brewing after a hiatus. Brewed a Porter couple weeks back. Now throwing a 8.5% Imperial Milk Stout on top of the yeast cake. Doing half as Peanut Butter. Half as a French Toast Stout. A third incarnation of the yeast will be a Cigar City Hunahpu Clone'ish attempt. Using S-04 so probably only plan on a 10.5%er.

Why the parsnips? Just curious.

Same for me to be honest :)
I like the taste of it, seems rich in potential sugars, and in the end just curious of what it will provide in terms of flavours. I also suspected the pumpkin to be too dull in terms of craziness for a Halloween beer :)

Bottled a few days ago in two versions, one neat and one with added Speculoos spices and a bit of stevia for sweetness.
 
Doing a step mash right now on my Pumpkin Ale that I make every year for Thanksgiving. It has 16 pounds of pumpkin, fresh spices and a nice grain bill, along with molasses and Belgian Candi 45. Pumpkin Ale...... I know, I know, but my family and neighbors love it and request it every year, so what's a brewer to do! Have a great weekend everyone!
