Brewing up a Founders Breakfast Stout clone and a Surly Bender clone. Splitting off 5gal of the FBS and adding heavy toast american oak that has been soaking in makers mark and grade B maple syrup. Attempting to make a CBS clone. Then pulling off 5 gal from the Bender clone and making a Coffee Bender. I can't wait for tomorrow. Going to be a long but kick ass day of brewing
 
Brewing a "fixed" batch of a stout I made. I wound up entering it in a competition and got about 30pts for it! (entered as a sweet stout but it tastes like a dry)
Wish me luck cause this ones going in for the competition at the state fair in August! This time it will be a "sweet stout":ban:
 
Brewing a Stone 2009 Old Guardian barleywine clone tomorrow. Wonder if it'll be ready by Christmas... :)
 
Got another Wit going right now. Brewed one Last Month that still has a week in bottles to go, but planned a BBQ with SWMBO for Memorial day weekend, so figured I needed 2 batches.
 
A full pipeline is a beautiful thing! :mug:

I've got to drink a 12 pack to make enough bottles for the Wit I am doing tonight. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Biggest issue is I have several smaller experimental batches I want to try, but go to go thorugh more bottles before I have room.

Oh well a nice problem to have :mug:
 
Brewing Jamil and Palmer's "Wittebrew" from Brewing classic styles on Sunday. Belgian Wit at 1.050 using Wyeast WYXL3655 (Belgian Schelde) washed and stored in the fridge from a pale ale I brewed in December. The yeast starter is happily bubbling on the counter.
 
Doing Dry Dock's Apricot Blonde tomorrow. Looking a bit cold, but oh well. It's been awhile, and I'm eager to brew again.
 
Brewing a Stone 2009 Old Guardian clone right now. :ban:

Sparge is a little slow, but everything's otherwise going great so far.

Edit: Nailed the pre-boil gravity and volume dead-on. :)
 
5 gallons of Beehive ale which is an ale with 2lbs clover honey and then 5 gallons of Pop a Cherry Ale, same concept, medium bodied ale with cherry flavoring.

The house smells GREAT!
 
Knocked out that baltic porter. Long brew day. Wife is out of town, we usually brew together and it definitely shortens the day if one of us can mill grain while the other is heating the strike water and getting stuff out and if we can both clean up together at the end. Also had over 2 hours of mashing and a 90 minute boil. I also had, believe it or not, my first boil over and this was a 5 gallon batch in a keg, I used to brew 5 gallons in an 8 gallon pot and never boiled over.

In celebration of being done, I went out and got an Okocim porter and the Aldaris Porteris ($5 for both, sweet). I also kegged a cal common and a couple other beer chores.
 
I did my first all-grain yesterday, EdWort's Haus Pale Ale, BIAB, no-chill.

I first finished up the 5-gallon water bottle hopper to complete my rip-off of WilserBrewer's ingenious Corona Mill in a bucket.

Unfortunately, my normally reliable ThermoWorks thermometer decided to flake out and I mashed much hotter than expected. I am hoping that it just needs a new battery. We will see how the beer turns out, as I am certainly not dumping my first all-grain attempt.

I expect that it will have cooled enough to pitch the Notty tonight.
 
Just finished for the day. Made a Pale Ale w/ Cascade, and some ginger beer.

Day took forever, had to rebuild the counterflow chiller, as we didn't have a quick connect when we first made it, and of course garden hose isn't NPT...

Big beer next weekend on the cake!
 
Just finished 10 gallons.
5 Gallons Sam Ale Light
5 Gallons Canadian ale..
So much for the Honey Do list.and she will P..... off
 
just finished up AHS American IPA a few hours ago....i think i pitched my Notty a little on the warm side :cross: oh well..it will be alright
