Brewed Vinnie's recipe for Pliney The Elder. Previously brewed Jamil's version of PTE on sterioids so it will be interesting to compare that to Vinnie's homebrew recipe. Different hops and not quite the same grain amount in Vinnie's homebrew version of PTE. The Jamil/Hop Hammer version of PTE is quite good but also quite strong. Montanaandy
 
The grains for my first porter are in the MLT as we speak. This is a recipe of my own design (with a li'l assist from Ray Daniels -- Designing Great Beers. We'll see what a smart guy Ray is!)
 
Made starters last night.
Doing 2 batches today....an Alaskan Amber Clone and pseudo Irish Red.
I'll try to go light on the home brew consumption as I go, so I don't screw the pooch on something as I get into the 2nd batch!!!!
:mug:
 
i didn't plan to brew this weekend but might change my mind and brew up a red ale this afternoon. i did make some beef jerky yesterday, though! :mug:
 
Brewed my house IPA today, but my my efficiency was garbage. More like a super hopped pale ale now. Very upsetting. :(
 
Had some friends visit for the weekend and guided them through their first brew ever - an all grain espresso stout loosely based on the Zymurgy recipe. They may have done better than me!

Also had them do some racking to kegs and make a batch of ginger ale. And, help cut down a few trees.

This same schit happened to me on Saturday. I tried a rye IPA that the mash gummed up like a bowl of old oatmeal and my numbers (temp wise) were all over the place because I wasn't flowing wort (I use a direct fired recirc mash tun). Ultimately I ended up with a 1.038 OG when I should have had a 1.068. It's bubbling away now but I'll have to redo this recipe as I had big hopes for it. I even used a pound of rice hulls but it wasn't enough...
 
Missed my brew day this past weekend. Today (whilst working from home) I'll be brewing up a 5.5G batch of Ed's Bavarian Hefeweizen. (Checked the beer cellar and I only have about a 12 pack left of the last batch!!!) Luckily this beer matures very quickly!

If you haven't made this recipe, I suggest you give it a try!


Although I think I need to lower the grain bill as I just hit 83% efficiency on preboil extraction. :mug::mug::mug:
 
No brews for the weekend in my future...I've had a hankering for brewing mid-week for the last two weeks. The first one ended at around 12:15AM with a helper and last night's ended at around 2AM with most cleanup completed.
 
I was going to bre up an oatmeal stout but midwest still hasn't shipped my irder. I guess that means they're very busy, which is a good thing. Guess I'll be bottling my american brown, instead. Dying to try it, first all grain batch.
 
I work weekends so Tues/ Wed is my "weekend" Just got my infusion water on for a BlueRaz Wheat! An american wheat fermented with crushed rassberries and aged with blueberry juice.
 
I took Friday off to enjoy the nice weather and looking to do a double brew day. However may only get one done. Have somewhere to be at 530. Looking to do EdWorts haus ale. Then a Brown ale if I have time. Might mash in while boiling the first one. Should knock an hour off the day.
 
I will be brewing early sat morning a 10 gal batch of California common. This is the 2nd time in brewing this type of beer. The 1st batch turned out great!
 
I will be brewing up a 5.5G batch of Ed's Bavarian Hefeweizen. I can't wait, I've been on a hefe kick lately.
