Tomorrow I'm brewing my very first decoction, a triple too! It's a Vienna lager using Pilsner Urquell yeast. Thought I'd mix it up a little. Wish me luck on the intimidating decoction.

GOOD LUCK! Takes a while, but totally worth it, IMHO.

Planning on brewing a low gravity stout so we can drink all day long on St. Patrick's! I figure I'm up to the challenge of brewing something low gravity but with good body.
 
Doing what may be one of my last Mr. Beer recipes.
I have 3 kits to go. After that I will be buying myself a couple Better Bottle carboys and be moving to all 5 gallon batches most likely.

This weekend will be a High Country Canadian Draft (HCCD) Fat Tire clone, minimashed.
 
I'm having some friends over and we are going to brew up my second 5 gallon batch.

I plan on it being a chocolate Irish Stout.
If I cant get the chocolate flavor to come out the way I want it will still be an Irish Stout.

:off:We will also be smoking some corned beef to enjoy after the brew.:rockin:
 
Brewing up an imperial bourbon stout in the driveway while watching the sunset reflect off of my sexy Subaru. Lifes good :mug:
 
Brewing a Montmorency Tart Cherry Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. I have never tried adding the cherry to a beer, so this should be interesting. I hope it's good!

Add the cherries to the secondary
 
Add the cherries to the secondary

Absolutely. I actually have some concentrated Montmorency tart cherry extract from a cherry farm/plantation/whatever-you-call-it in Northern Michigan.

Any suggestion for how long into secondary, or how long before bottling to add the flavor? As I rack to secondary? At the end of secondary?

Thanks!
 
I have 6 gallons of a Standard American Lager boiling right now, seeing how good my process is.
 
I am packaging my Belgian Wit this evening to free up all my empty buckets so I logistically have enough spare volume to hold to wort & sparge water to make 10 gallons of Cuvee de Tomme tomorrow. I had volunteered my system as part of a club brew but this beer is high enough gravity (and with a 2 hour boil) that I am having trouble fitting it in my MLT and BK even as a partial mash.
 
Ill be doing an all grain Black IPA in the morning. It is SWMBO's birthday weekend so I hope it doesn't come back to bite me.... She did however try a wheat ale I brewed for her and really liked it. Maybe she will start encouraging this obsession of mine.
 
In the carboy.. 5 gal of what will be a brown ale... no name yet. first try with S04. New to dry yeast. smells fantastic though.. 1.05OG.. 90%+effeciency.. going to have to check my notes and numbers in the am when I'm less.. uh.. in the beer mind... perlimenary numbers show actual over 100% effeciency.. does not sound right.. need to refigure.. I have all my dat though so I'll work it out... when Im more clear.

Can you share your recipe? Thanks.

10 gallons of Vienna/Northern Brewer SMaSH planned today. Gotta go with SWMBO first to see her newly born cousin though. Hope to be back by early afternoon to get it fired up. Supposed to be a gorgeous day here today! :rockin:
 
Making a vienna (pseudo) lager with 1007. First time using bulk base grain, first time grinding the grain myself, first recipe that I designed (with help from hbt of course). Gulp.
 
Going to my LHBS today to pick up some bulk grain a bag of US 2 row, Vienne Malt Carapils and 10L crystal I see a Pale ale coming this weekend.
 
picking up the ingredients for my first brew in over a year today! It's gonna be an easy wheat for spring and my first partial mash! Wife is taking the kid to her parents tomorrow so between brewing beer, bottling some wine, replacing the muffler on the daily driver, and playing with the new air compressor Sunday looks to be Man day! I don't think i've had one of those in 8 months.
