Will be starting my NB Extra Pale Ale extract kit in an hour or so, that will make pitching time coordinate with when my starter is ready.

My third kit and I still have not tasted any of my own brew. Bottling the first 2 batches next week so 2 - 3 more weeks.....

The Extra Pale Ale is pitched.... Now.... about 6 weeks.... :(:):mad::)
 
Just about done with the sach rest on a Belgian Tripel. That will be followed by another batch of Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale :D
 
Monday is technically part of my weekend so I'm brewing a Slow Elk clone. Hopefully it's up to snuff with the original because I plan on bottling it when my dad visits and then cracking open a few before he leaves.
 
About to sparge on my Oktoberfest-Ale partial mash. Gonna use some some wlp080 cream ale yeast...i guess that means i need to bottle or keg my cream ale too so I can wash that yeast!

That looks delicious. And that's just from the pics of malt and hops.

Thanks. Looking back I should have probably left out the chocolate malt. Those are cascade hops from my backyard. I also added some Chinook pellets. Pre-boil gravity 1.082. FG will be in the 1.115 neighborhood depending on how far I boil.

Bottled my double chocolate stout last night and just now pitched and air locked some cherry berry mead...
 
Brewing a simple bitter all grain right now. The grain bill is small enough for me to do it on my stove and a for a full boil volume.

Got a brewers best ipa started yesterday. Had to get up this morning and put the blow off tube on because the airlock was filling with foam. Seems to be running strong now.
 
Took a stab at Stone AB yesterday. Lots of hoopla surrounding this beer, I just wanted to do a nice chinook-based beer and I can't buy AB in Iowa.
 
got my house apa recipe going today, changed the hops up and trying out water chemistry for the second time.
 
I just finished a Coopers heritage lager (lager in name only). This is my third. The first one was pretty good. The second, a disaster. I decided to add some leftover hops and I guess I got an infection - foamy volcanoes. This time I added some leftover (3/4 Lb.) of amber DME and used S-04, plus some yeast energizer (left over from making Skeeter Pee). We'll see how this turns out.
 
Just finished the only hop addition for the AHS Chocolate Orange Holiday Ale. Probably won't make it to the holidays though - it smells gooooooood!
 
My Oktoberfest brewday from last weekened got moved to this weekend. I'm sparging right now after an abnormally long mash(about 100 min). My iodine tests were showing that I had conversion, but the wort just didn't taste sweet to me, so I let it ride a little, and pulled off some volume to do a decoction because I was losing more heat than usual.
