California common or steam type beer, with the same s-23 lager yeast i used and am lagering with another at lager temps from the previous week.Going to be interesting to compare the temp differences.
 
Just brewed last night a Magic Hat #9 Clone using Ringwood Ale Yeast. Blew the top off my fermentor using my old school plastic airlock. Seemingly, I'm ok with watching krausen form on top of my airlock. It's therapeutic.
 
No work tomorrow so.....brew day! I have all the grains weighed out for a ten gallon batch of an Oakshire O'Dark 30 Black IPA clone. Might do ten gallons of brown ale on Sunday.
 
Have some Cascade, Saaz, and Hallertauer lying around, and the SWMBO loves anything blueberry, so I might just make something up totally random...ha
 
Just bravely battled through a stuck sparge on a 13gal. batch of Barley wine. SWMBO is out of town, luckily. I don't know how I still managed 84% eff. but I'll take it. First stuck sparge...going to be a late night.
 
Bottling 6 gallons of English style Pale Ale tonight and using the 1318 slurry for a batch of Oatmeal Stout being brewed tomorrow.
 
Looks like it'll be today or tomorrow when I get the FV soaked clean for my English bitter. Might add 1oz of haulertau,since I'm out of Kent Golding.
 
Planning on it, I have to run by my LHBS (AHS) to get some supplies first prob. an IPA maybe a clone it will be my first IPA and my first clone brew.
 
Just got my supplies today from AHS and going to brew the Anniversary Lemon Wheat tomorrow. Looking forward to this as my end of summer brew. Then I've got a couple of Reds that'll take me in to the fall. Also need to start thinking fast as to what to brew for the holidays.
 
I'm sitting here, drinking a store bought craft brew, wishing I had the money to order the equipment I needed to arrive today in order to prepare tonight to brew tomorrow to ferment over the next few weeks while I'm brewing up something for the holidays..... bummer ... so jealous :)

I know the feeling. I had to go almost 2 months without brewing cause of low funds. Was finally able to pick it back up last weekend (gave the brother-in-law a crash course how to brew with an IPA kit, got the wort made and the yeast pitched, gave him fermentation instructions, the rest is on him, already had a number of phone calls since ;)) and I'm just finishing up starters for Sunday's double header. It'll get better. I feel your pain.

I am the king of broke. And I have had expensive work on both of my vehicles. Where there is a will there is a way. Convinced the wife to let me buy the very basic AG tools and ended up with a mill for free. Using home depot buckets, 5 dolla fermenters. I haven't had a brew I didn't make in a few weeks. Could spend 20 bucks on a couple sixers or malt and hops! You will get there bud. You don't need to be rich to brew.
 
SWMBO is working tomorrow which leaves me, the house, Iron Maiden and 10 gallons of Hefe to brew all alone. I think we'll all get along.
 
2 batches tomorrow...
1) Doing a 10-gallon Stone IPA mash
1a) Standard hop schedule for 5-gallon batch
1b) All Simcoe hop schedule for 5-gallon batch
2) Pliny The Elder - Farmhousebrewingsupply.com 5-gallon recipe (got hops today!!!)

Cheers!
Mike
 
I have the ingredients for an ESB but need to get another fermentation bucket. We will see...maybe tomorrow.
 
Getting ready to fire up the BK for an English bitter. I'm going to go out on a limb & use an ounce of Haulertauer in it,since I'm out of Kent Golding,& the Willamette whole leaf is for the wife's brew. Good pipeline filler. Maybe get my wife started on the summer ale recipe I came up with for her tomorrow.
 
Brewing my first Porter right now, it has been one long hard day of brewing :(

Hopefully tomorrow will be a smooth as smooth can be brew day :)
 
I'm just glad I finally got the FV cleaned up after that mess the IPA made in it. The brew kettle is on the stove,the yeast is back up to room temp,& my hop socks from the last batch have been emptied,rinsed,boiled,& soaking in PBW. I'm going to use a tsp of dextrose in 1.5C of warm water this time for the yeast. See how that works vs small starter/re-hydrating. Maybe an hour or so. It's been a busy day since I got up.
but a free batch of English bitter will be worth it. I'm interested what the Haulertauer will do for it.
 
I've got a Summer Wheat IPA tomorrow. It was scheduled for today but my wide called in the reservation for Ruth's Chris for 6:00 so a little too early for a full brewday...
 
brewing a Two Hearted clone right now. Just sparged and came out at 1.052 pre boil when I was calculated at 1.054.

Oh yeah, maiden voyage in my new keggle BK and 30 plate chiller.

We'll see how gravity draining through a plate chiller with whole leaf hops goes...
