Brewing BM's Kona Fire Rock Clone as we speak.

It's -30 Celcius out here.. I really need to go electric!
 
Finished 5 gallons Vienna lager and 5 gallons of Munich Dunkel yesterday.

Trying to get all my lagers in before spring warms my cellar.
 
Getting my brew on today. Brewing the AHS Northwest Cascadian Dark Ale. Super excited about this one. All the while I am sipping on my previous homebrew... AHS Holiday Ale.
 
Just put my AHS Smithwick's clone in the primary. I was also going to do an American Amber, but I got a late start. I'll do that next week, I guess. Gonna run out and get some more snacks. I'm waiting for the J-E-T-S-Steelers Game at 6:30.
 
Did this on Friday. With the help from a friend who knows more than I do about brewing.

5 gallons of mead in the 6 gallon better better bottle that melted when I put it in there too hot.

Everything went okay even though we were having trouble with the mash tun sparge clogging on the first batch, oh and my better bottle melting, we were only supposed to get the honey and water up to 140 to pasteurize it, but was 170 when I started racking it into the BB oops, hopefully there wont be any off flavors.
 
Extract Brewed hefeweizen. Its fermenting as we speak, OG of 1.050 on the button. My first brew ever so I'm excited. Any ideas on how long I should let it ferment? I've read several theories on Weizens, anything ranging from 1-5 weeks in primary with no secondary (I'm going for an unfilitered very cloudy banana weizen) so I'm not sure how long is just right. Any help would be great!
 
West Coast Style IPA 12lb 2 row
2 lb Munich Malt
1 lb 60l crystal
3 oz centennial 2oz cascade 1oz willemette O.G.1078 got the recipe from this site sounded good so gave it a try.
 
Brewed a second batch in as many weekends yesterday! Did a 2.5 gallon test batch of my first recipe creaton. Up to 7.5 gallons for the year. Up from a grand total of zero from last year so off to a good start!!
 
Chipped away at the ice on my patio and shoveled some snow out of the way, and managed to cook up a Scottish Ale. Can't wait till March to taste it. First time trying a Scottish. I winged my own recipe......10lbs of Gold LME, some 120L, 40L, and Toasted Barley, Wyeast 1728 (with a 650ml starter) and 2oz of Challanger @ 60 minutes. I guess that it should be close to a Scottish???
 
Introducing a new person to the hobby after my Half Marathon on Sunday!
We're going to do a partial mash Oatmeal Stout that'll eventually be split in to two secondaries for some experientation
 
Got my first starter going yesterday, going to brew a Blackberry porter tonight. We still have a freezer full of hand picked blackberries from around our house over the summer. Hope it turns out good!
 
I am quite possibly brewing 1-2 batches this weekend.

We have a 'friends' brew-off at the end of March and i've got a 'Ryan's Face Puncher IPA' kit to get done.
