Sounds good.
No way I could brew that much on my stove.

It was tight. I only try for 6 gallons when it's a lower gravity beer. I use an 8 gal Megapot on the stove, with a 1500W bucket heater stick to help get it to a boil.

I mashed in with 6 gallons water, BIAB, hoisted out and added another 2 gallons. Preboil was 7.25 gal, so a few drops of Fermcap-s helped.
Racked 6 gal into the fermenter.

If I can get my NEIPA crashed and kegged in time, I might do my Christmas doppelbock this weekend.

Pilsner, Munich II, Melanoidin, CaraMunich II and a touch of Carafa Special. 8.4% ABV targeted, with 26 IBU of Hallertau Mittelfrueh.

8kg grain bill so pushing the upper limits of my BrewZilla. Might need to be a reiterated mash...
 
Roggenbier today, found the recipe on Beersmith plus some minor tweaks
Briess Rye 41.4%
Voyager Compass 33.2%
Voyager Munich 18.3%
Joe White Choc 3.1%
Rice Hulls 4%
Hallertauer at 60 to 12.1IBU
Hallertauer at 15 to 7.8IBU
What ever wheat beer yeast I have in the freezer


Original recipe was Krekal Roggen, which had oats in it, which I removed as once I put in the malt I was using had an estimated 6.2% abv, currently aiming for a 5.2% so 1.055 SG and 1.015 FG

Mashed at 66.7C for 75mins


This is done as a single batch in a 1v (2nd brew using it), will probably do a tripple batch neipa in my 3v this weekend (first time using my 170L kettle)


Got the case swap in two weeks and we are doing the latest version of Dr Sumurtos Golden ale (Rye) 18 Cubes worth (circa 450L batch size)
 
Been absent for a bit, work and life getting in the way. This morning trying another batch of rice lager; first one turned out to be a dumper, not sure why. Possibly that I used regular rice, it didn't want to cook, and I ended up scorching some of it. Oh well, try again. This time using minute rice.

IDK if you have a microwave, but the rice setting cooks it perfectly on mine.
 
Chocolate Milk Porter. Easy brew day(s). Mashed in Friday night, brewed early Saturday morning. Mashed full volume in that 10g pot at 154. Placed it in my oven overnight set to 155. 7:30 this AM it was 148. Only having to boil, chill, and clean up this AM made for a relaxing session. Measured out the grains earlier in the week. Milled them and mashed in while the bride was at bookclub.

Brewed up an adaptation of Franciscan Wells Irish Pale Ale. It’s pretty similar to SNPA. The key characteristic is the combination of German Tettnanger for a floral/herbal note and Citra to give new world citrus and tropical aromas. Chico strain yeast (I’m using Flagship) gives fruit esters, too.
Last batch was one of my best.

Lots of nectarine blowing off airlock right now.
