Cleaned out the garage and brewed myself an IIPA this afternoon. This finish's up 2 weekends and 20 gallons. Might not be much to some, but seeing as I only do 5 gallon batch's and I've only been brewing for six months, I'm stoked.

Brewed a Columbus/Citra Pale Ale today. Should ferment pretty quickly with some Nottingham but the recipe was a LHBS whim and might completely suck.

 

[bassbone]

Did my first all grain (Epic Pale Ale Clone) on friday. Need to fix my efficiency a bit, but smells pretty good!

Congrats!

What kind of efficiency did you get?

Plenty of good simple tips around here to get those efficiency number up... Simple one that helped me was just stirring mash very well at start to break up dough balls, and stir every 15-20min through mash.

 

[jbrookeiv]

Brewed my first batch of Graff this weekend.

Brewing a batch of Rye PA from Northern Brewer next weekend.

I was at 62%

I got my grains from brewmasters warehouse and should have looked at how they were milled (not very well.... according to Ed they were having some problems that have now been fixed). Also, planning on stirring more at the beginning, and 2 times during the mash (did not stir at all during). I also just let 'er rip when I was sparging so i will try that slower next time.

I figure just fixing those things have to help a lot. After I try those I will start looking at other parts of my procedure as needed.

I brewed up a Dubbel on Saturday and an IPA on Sunday. Busy weekend, but the girlfriend was out of town -That way I can leave things scattered everywhere, the way I like it when brewing! I might not get another brew day for a few weeks so I had to do it up! Both went okay, lost a lot of wort due to clogs when siphoning from the kettle, but all in all it went well However, I'm going to buy a big funnel and start dumping through a filter into the primary instead of siphoning with a filter attached to the autosiphon.
