Malt was delicious after extraction, then added 1 lb of honey for 45 mins of boil
 
Brewing EdWort's Kolsch recipe with WLP008 East Coast Ale yeast - no Kolsch yeast at the LHBS!

:cross: Scratch that! Decided to brew up a version of Lakewalk Pale Ale with WLP008 today and wait for the kolsch yeast! First brew with temperature control - Fermenting vigorously within 3 hrs! I've got good feelings about this one.
 
Great weather here in Texas today. Brewed my last partial mash before going 100% all-grain. Made a West Coast IPA with US-05. Tried the new convoluted counterflow chiller and submersible pump to recirculate ice water; the setup worked better than expected.
 
brewed a big batch of ESB with some friends. Great time had by me and I believe everyone else as well.

@40 gallons of Maris Otter based ESB - OG 1.058, @ 40 IBUs
 
Brewed 12 gallons of a Homegrown Hop IPA yesterday. 2.15 lbs of DRIED Homegrown Hops used on the hot side. Wort tasted unlike anything I've ever made. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

It's Tuesday and feeling like fall in Albuquerque - brewed ESB last weekend and grilled some greek chicken on the bbq

If your experience is half as good as mine you are on the right track rowanb!
 
Brewing a Flanders Red right now, which is my initial brew using a Chugger Pump. Having lots of fun.
 
On deck for Saturday is a Belgian Strong Dark with honey in place of candi sugar. Probably going to ferment coldish and then dryhop it....
 
Thinking about doing my first brew EVER this weekend if the LHBS will open its doors sometime. They're changing locations and of course I got the gear just when they closed up for the move.
 
2L starter of WLP500 is spinning away for a Belgian Strong Dark on Saturday. Gonna toss a few of these in it.

SWMBO is brewing her first batch this weekend! She is super excited. I think it is awesome.

She's following the A-Z brown ale from Sam C's Extreme Brewing book. Its a pretty good recipe for a beginner - can't wait to see how it pans out.
