Got distracted on Christmas Ale sparge and pulled close to 15 gal. Boiled 90 min to reduce, but ended up with 12 gal @ 1.055, so it's a little thin, but oh well. I hope the 6oz of hops don't knock this out of balance.

My first attempt at a stout smelled heavenly. The Stout's fermentation is ramping up big time this morning, the ale is starting, but does not have full krausen. Nice feeling to have 4 carboys full after a 9 hour brew day.

Did 5 gal of Fat Dirty Blonde Ale last night.

Tried a bomber of my Cranberry Stout last night while boiling.

 

[Bulls Beers]

I'm doing BM's centennial Blonde today. I haven't done this one in a while. Just doughed in..

I love making wheat beers but have not done an amber wheat yet. Would you be willing to share your recipe? My brew day got cancelled due to severe winds and cold temp below zero.

 

[SIXFOOTER]

5 gallon batch of Dark Knight Sweet Stout for the January tasting/competition at BXBeer Depot

 

[HexKrak]

5 Gallons of Chocolate porter

 

[Hannable1975]

Got up and the weather was crap so I'm in my shop brewing up an AG Black Cherry Stout from AHS

Here is the thread, though first time making it, so I have no idea how it will ultimately taste:

All of my family is back in Iowa, by the way (Sioux City and Des Moines); Perry and Mt. Pleasant for me a long time ago. I heard you guys are having blizzard conditions there!

 

[Emmett]

2 Batches

Arrogant Bastard clone and a pretty basic porter (it's been years since I made a porter) Cooling right now. Also need to rack a black pale ale that's dry hopping, and rack 2 batches of wine. Shiraz and Trio Blanca from kits.

 

[rjwhite41]

Scottish Ale 80/-. Mashing right now.

 

[Bartman]

Rye IPA mashing now. Heavy rain and wind 49F. Luckily I have a garage!

 

[chapa]

Days like today, I wish I had a garage to brew in, or an indoor electric setup. Its so cold and windy out, and still snowing! Can't wait until the day that I have a cozy brew room!

 

[D_Struct]

I brewed up the AHS Our Special Holiday Ale yesterday.

It's bubbling away as we speak!

 

[JohnnyO]

5 gallon batch of Dark Knight Sweet Stout for the January tasting/competition at BXBeer Depot

I did a sweet stout at the beginning of September that is only just starting to come into balance. January might be a little soon. Hopefully it's ready for you.

Rye IPA mashing now. Heavy rain and wind 49F. Luckily I have a garage!

The rain/wind is sick today, huh?

I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout yesterday, and continued to sparge another batch out of it for a second runnings batch.

Between getting a new refrigerator & rain the beer gods intervened and stopped the rain long enough this afternoon to do the boil outside. Brewed 5.25 gallons of a Columbus & Willamette IPA.

 

[motobrewer]

5.5 gallons of ESB has already started fermenting.

Just finished bottling up the other half of my 10g of Burly Brown - Moose Drool clone. One good thing about kegging as well as bottling, you can usually be patient(or lazy) and let a few weeks slip in between kegging the first half and bottling the 2nd, since I'm usually anxious to start drinking on it.

Used a diff yeast on the split batches, London ESB 1968 on the kegged, and WLP002 on the bottles. There is a noticable difference, and I'd have to say(before tasting the bottles carbonated) the 1968 seems more smooth(and more like Moose Drool), but I think I'm really going to like the WLP002 also.

Someone said the "S" word here so there's a chance we may get out of work tomorrow. This will probably totally jinx that from happening, but if it does, I'm brewing. Not sure what? I have a rediculous amount of hops in the freezer so I'm sure i could come up with something. Not that I need more beer, but it's not like I'd have anything better to do! Pray for snow!

 

[Mermaid]

Not this weekend, but I'll probably brew 2 batches while I'm on vacation next week.

Definitely thinking of trying a New Glarus Wisconsin (Belgian) "Red" clone to have it ready to drink on my birthday in late March. Since I'll be doing a 3 gallon batch I can splurge and buy some the jarred sour cherries so plentiful this time of year

Still want to brew an English nut brown ale too.

 

[mikeysab]

Mmmmmm, sour cherries....where do I get some of those?

 

[philrose]

heating sparge water for a scottish 60/-, mash smells pretty fantastic!

 

[Bulls Beers]

I'm running a little low, so I'm making some of Edwort's Apfelwein. I love this stuff. Quick and easy.

 

[Lodovico]

Brewing the Green Flash West Coast IPA clone and throwing it on American Oak! Really pumped to do this one.


Mixing up a batch of Apfelwein on oak also!

 

[waldoar15]

Got a Vienna Lager in the BK out in the snow on the back deck right now.

 

[starrfish]

Racking 2 to kegs this weekend, bottling the Brett Hopless Olde Ale, and putting the lactose back sweetend cider to a secondary, just because I really don't want to bottle 2 batches this weekend and it will free up the 3rd primary. Teaching a buddy to brew soon so I'll need a primary for him. should make him clean it. LOL I'll make him clean after his batch. Made that mistake before.

 

[Slowfro]

Fat Squirrel clone from Yooper in BK right now. Spotted Cow clone in pint glass to go with it

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

Just started chilling my American Stout. Should chill fast it's cold & windy out, made for a crappy boil though.

[oteixeira]

Just pitched the yeast into a Winter Warmer type brew, it's my first try at it, leftovers from some store bought kits that never got made and a few extras.

You're welcome to tell me how bad (or good) it sounds. It smelled wonderful.
