Teach a friend to brew day is already in the fermenter. Neighbor came over and we did flyangler18's March Brown Mild. I tweaked it slightly with just a bit of Willamette at flameout.
 
Strike water heating up as we speak for the IBA. Also got to break open the Mild that was bottled 3 weeks ago last night. Very tasty.
 
Had to work today. So tomorrow is brew day. Got ditched by friends for teach a friend day. Oh well. SWMBO's having a get together for the girls tomorrow. Maybe I'll teach one of her friends to brew. Going to try to pull off my first 2 AG batch brew day. Hefe and Ordinary Bitter.

I vote for Heffe:ban:
 
I'm working today and have a thing I have to do tomorrow early evening. So I am brewing on Monday or Tuesday. This will be my 2nd brew since coming back to brewing. I'm also bottling the 1st batch tomorrow or Monday. Most likely it will be a nice simple English type ale. I'm just getting my feet wet again and make some simple ales.
 
I brewed 10 gallons today. I was going to go to a TAFTBD thing, but the wife went shopping so I had to stay with the kids. Oh well, I was able to brew two 5 gallon batches, a porter and a brown. It was a good day.
 
I think I just put my last IPA for the winter in primary today. Two in primary, one dry hopping, an ESB and a Alaskan Amber clone in primary.
 
Brewed an 8 gallon batch of light blonde ale. Everything mostly went perfect. 83% efficiency, excellent boil.

A wasp, a fly and a gnat got in the wort. Hope I don't get an infection. I need to get a screen for the keggle.
 
Threw down all 15 gallons this weekend:

Tasty APA
Milk Stout
Special Bitter

Might move to double batches from here on. Did both the Milk Stout and Special Bitter in 6 hours total.
 
The bugs add protein :)

Brewed a Irish Red this weekend! And so yet again a waiting game begins to taste the newest brew in the line up :)
 
5G of Bee Cave Robust Porter to introduce a friend to homebrewing. Looking forward to the end result.
 
6gal Belgian Golden Strong
5 Gal Christmas spice beer with a good dose of chocolate malt

Bottled Belgian Pale ale

I'm teaching a friend everything I know about brewing before I ship off to San Francisco next month. He's learning quickly.
 
Successfully put off brewing again this weekend. I am getting really good at this. Looks like a split day mid0-week brew for me is unavoidable.
 
I had many malfunctions and a 12 hour long comedy of errors again...typical for my AG brewdays. I still don't have my rig dialed in and I make adjustments that screw with everything else on the fly...and then my lab-thermometer falls to the patio and explodes.

All temps were done with my backup thermometer that wasn't calibrated to mashing temps.

OOPS!

2 batches down- Hoeegarden clone (second try on this) and an IPA. My first runnings were .010 too low, so I kept on boiling and boiling with an extra 1.5G water to get to my target.

Fun stuff, but my whole body is sore today from the experience.
 
Ended up with a OG of 1.120 on my brew from this weekend, overshot the estimated 1.113.

Half way through the sparge, I realized that I could run a few more gallons through the grains and get a normal gravity brew, so that is what I did. I have the big brother 1.120 and little bro 1.045 beer, both chugging away in my new chest freezer :)
 
My group brew day was a success, between us we made over 30 gallons of blackheart stout, sampled a lot of tasty homebrew, and had some awesome bbq. Pitched a nice big starter, this is my second time fermenting in a keg so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my cleaning routine was adequate and everything comes out nicely.
 
Keepin this thread going. Weather in MD is perfect. I'm brewing a Munich Helles based on BM's Helles Belles recipe. Just got hot break, strolled down to the mailbox and there's a new issue of BYO. Been drinking my Amarillo PA, and will probably crack a store bought SN Torpedo next. I <3 brewdays.
 
I did a Mild last weekend, and I'm gonna try to do something this weekend, but not sure what.


I still need to pitch yeast into the mild (its in a winpak, no chill). All I have is 1084 (Irish ale yeast), anyone think that would make a decent mild?
 
Figure I am going to brew an IPA of some sort. Any suggestions (needs to be extract or partial mash because I am still assembling my AG setup. Montanaandy
