I've gone two for two for the past two days and am going for three for three. Tonight I'm going to brew up some type of PA using Styrian Goldings and Saaz. Not sure exactly what kind, but I'll give it a whirl.

Brewing an amber ale with Simcoe and Amarillo. It's my second all grain batch, and my fifth batch overall. I'll be using harvested yeast for the first time.
 
Just got done doughing in the belgian wit, once this mash is done I'm starting the mash for my RIS and then getting the boil going for the wit. Going to be one long brew day, 2 6 gallon batches.
 
Not me. Gotta strong ale goin.Gonna enjoy the sun for once. Gotta scottish shillings lined up next weekend 60.70.90? who knows.whatever it wants to be.
 
I have a boner right now FYI. After my first AG last week getting like 50% efficiency. This week I was given a corona and crushed my own. 78% efficiency! If this tastes good I am going to be so stoked.

Check my getgo set up lol. It was missing the cup and the grain was flying everywhere so...

The to go cup gave me enough to put in a pound at a time.

I'm looking at a batch of witbier. Not sure how much yet at this point. My 10gal fermentor is currently full. I might rack this saison into two different carboys to let the brett finish up. Then I can clean and sanitize the 10gal fermentor well and utilize it for the wit.
 
Just checked on my Madrugada Obscura clone I did yesterday. Chugging along nicely with the stepped up dregs from the bottle. The starter had that peppery spiciness that MO has. Took the lid off to let it open ferment for a few days, and will be top cropping (still undecided on if I want to do this or pitch on the cake - probably the cake route) to make another next week that will go on about 7 pounds of cherries for the wife. Can't wait to try this one out after a couple months on oak, then a few more months bottle conditioning.

Regardless of whether I use the top crop for the next batch or not, I will be top cropping for bottling.
 
Brewed 10 gallons of Bavarian Hefeweizen Friday night in 100 degree temps. Hot hot hot.

Chilled down to 85 degrees after the boil and then put my buckets in the chest freezer, taped the temp probe to the side of the bucket and set it to 66 degrees. I put my starters on top of the bucket lids and went to bed.

Got up on Saturday morning and the wort was at 66 degrees as was my starters. I injected some O2 in the fermenters and added my starters and dropped the lids.

This morning, the Hefe's are happily fermenting away. It was worth brewing in this heat to get some cold refreshing Hefe on tap.

I'll use this chilling method again and again till ambient temps and ground water temps cool off.
 
Wanted to update everyone that the fermentation of the Kolsch is done and I'm cold crashing 5 days before bottling. It looks and smells amazing!
 
What's the best American IPA extract kit out there? I wanna add some citrus (orange) to it and see if I can duplicate sweetwater 420. Any ideas?
 
Brewed a Tripel similar to Westmalle yesterday, with Wyeast 3787 high gravity trappist yeast. Made a 5g starter beer, that was a similar grain/hop bill, but was only 1.045. Pitched on top of the starter cake and it was going nuts within a few hours. Hit 1.062 on the Tripel, and am going to add 2.5lbs of sugar once fermentation slows down, to bring it up to roughly 1.082.

While we brewed, we drank several Tripels, including a Westmalle, St Bernardus, Rochefort, and Schlafly's Smokestack Tripel. Westmalle was the best, with Schlafly being my 2nd favorite. I've had Schlafly's Smokestack Quad and Saison also and they are all really good!
