I did my weekend brewing a day early and it's sitting in the fermenter bubbling merrily away in the 65 degree warmth. This is a basic recipe to which I intend on adding 1 pound of wild blueberries and 1 quart of blueberry juice in the secondary. Ask me in about 6 weeks how it turns out.
 
ButtCrack Brewing!

My first two brews in a day brewing day:

A IPA based on the Brewer's Best 2010 Hopnog

An American Brown , based on my guess at a recipe and Arizona IPA's help in a thread.

Both BIAB per Deathbrewer's method.
 
Tomorrow a 10 gallon batch split into Warthog Cream Ale and a Stout of my own design.
 
I just finished with a Saison. It was a partial mash recipe. It turned out pretty good so far. I calculated out a 70% efficiency. I was pleased since it was my first time doing a partial mash
 
All depends. :) Might have an opportunity to pick up a couple of Sanke's for a case of beer! Or, if that falls through, I've got a batch of 'cream of three crops' ready for the brew pot.
 
Making 10 gallons of Belgian style Blonde ale tomorrow, using the grain bill for Russian River Redemption. Gonna guess on the mash temperature (149-150?), fermentation temps (64-66?) and use Tradition and Saaz hops.

Yay!


:ban:
 
this thread just goes on and on, huh? kegged my bravo pale ale (kolsch, might be a bad experiment)

bottling strawberry alarm clock tomorrow (SWMBO cannot wait)

autumn spiced braggot and old fezziwig clone in fermenters

vanilla bourbon porter brewing tomorrow I hope, might also try to do the prep work to be able to do a 10g batch next weekend.

Just sent the work email asking for bottles for those last 3 that will need more aging in the winter cellar.
 
Bottled my Poughkeepsie Pride on Wednesday. The sample was absolutely scrumptious!

Brewed my Fugged Up Barleywine last night. Fermentation took off like a rocket, too! Less than six hours in the primary, there was already a two inch, pearly white krausen. Less than twenty four hours in, had to race to replace the airlock with a blow-off. The dogs didn't mind the airlock, but the big burps coming out of the bucket every few seconds have been driving them crazy.
 
I'm crushing for a saison. Got some East Coast Yeast "Saison Brasserie" to pitch with so it should be a good brew (i hope). Target 1.068ish SG and some other goodies. I hope it turns out funky. :)
 
just got back from the local brew shop. brewing an irish stout this afternoon. planing to get started about 1:00-1:30. :mug:
 
True Blonde done yesterday. First time on the new setup. Stuck sparge, went and added another bag of hulls, stirred it up, still stuck. Propane doesn't travel well uphill, used a stack of five gallon buckets to put the tank on, problem solved. Forgot to use my new hop bag:eek: Forgot to use my new Refractometer, had the Hydrometer to test it all out, Never got an OG:mad:

All in all it was good, was working out kinks on the setup as I was brewing. Son in law came over and was helping out, he bought some Sierra porter and some Honey Mead. First time I ever had mead, I will be making some of that! Two more days I will free up my Primaries and bite the bullet and brew a batch after work. I am getting the pipeline going, so I can make some wine. I want get another primary for the five year barley wine that Revvy has made.
 
After about 15 batches of all grain brewing, I finally had my first stuck sparge on Thanksgiving. I'd been getting 60%sh efficiencies over my last 3 batches so I decided to make my crush a bit finer. I certainly did that, the grains looked a bit "powdery" but I went for it anyway. Can't say I was too surprised when I found out it was actually stuck. I ended up just dumping the whole mash tun into my empty HLT, rinsing it out and dumping it right back into the MT. I was good to go from there. Pretty painless stuck sparge if you ask me. We'll see how the beer turns out....it was a kolsch
