Making a traditional bock on Monday using double decoction. Yeast starter tomorrow! I plan on laggering for 12 weeks so it's ready for my birthday at the end of may!!
15# Munich
10# Vienna
1# caramunich
.5# carafa 1

Perl and tet hops.

Wish me luck!!!
 
Brewed a RyePA this afternoon...less than 4 hours later, air lock is already bubbling away. Had a pretty massive starter for this one. Hoping I can get a better than average attenuation and dry it out despite overshooting my mash temp.
 
Going to be brewing with my wild harvested yeast. I'm a bit worried as the starter I made with the first bit that I caught took almost two weeks to start fermenting. But we'll see.
 
Brewed a 5 gallon extreme brewing book ginger saison. Used white labs American farmhouse for the yeast. I also am set up 1st time with a swamp cooler set up but I've got an aquarium heater in it with a small water pump just to move the water a little bit. Trying to hold 70 degrees and then I'll bump it up to 72 in a couple of days.
 
I will be brewing an amber ale with citra and amarillo hops and a pale ale with citra and amarillo hops, hopefully.
 
I should be able to put together my "Burn in Helles". A terrific beer and recipe, of my own creation. Neighborhood loves it... Now they're gonna have to make donations, as this is a keg that lasts far to little time! LOL!!!!
 
Hopefully, tomorrow will be "brew day". I have two AHS kits ready to go; A TWR DIPA (Texas Wildfire Relief, Double IPA) and a Holiday ale (which I should' ve brewed about 2 months ago). I'm leaning towards the Holiday ale, just so it's not too far removed from the "Holiday" for which it was intended. I also have to bottle 10 gallons of a starter vs. no starter battle royale.[QUOTE/]
Woke up EARLY (3:30 am) and couldn't get back to sleep. Made a 1 qt. starter with Notty yeast, (For tomorrow's brew. I guess that means I'll have to remove myself from this list.) boiled two batches of priming sugar and bottled 9.3 gals. (by bottle/capacity count) of the starter debate.
 
Just fired the kettle on my first all grain. NB cream ale. Nervous and excited at the same time.
 
Just about ready to brew NB's Honey Kolsch. Smack-pack has been smacked. Sanitizing will commence shortly.

Ooops. No appropriate water in-house. Must run to the store to get decent water and a bag of ice for cooling.
 
West Coast Amber with using Cali V liquid for the first time.Gonna secondary to dryhopp and so i can harvest/wash the slurry for the next 6-8 batches.Yey!
 
40 minutes into the mash right now. This is my first AG batch, doing biab with two vessels. I usually do PM but this is low gravity enough my equipment can handle the small grain bill :rockin:
 
Bottled my Oatmeal Coffee Stout yesterday, and got my first pils lager in to my primary. Setting up my Johnson temp control today on my swmbo's repurposed chest freezer! Busy weekend!
 
About halfway through my mash for my inaugural BIAB batch on this system, using the bag I made yesterday. Normally, I do a 2- or 3-vessel setup, but I figured for small batches like the one I'm doing today, I should try to come up with a more portable arrangement.
 
I'm boiling up another mirror pond clone this weekend. The wife and I did one last weekend and had a couple of problems with my bucket fermentor (blew the lid off, twice) ;-( So I picked up a new carboy and kit and started again.
It's kind of ridiculous to contaminate your beer in fear of the damn blow off tube not getting a good enough seal on a plastic lid, oops.
Two carboys = tons of peace of mind.
 
Boiling a late winter warmer now. Had the stuff and life got me behind. Here's to more cold weather. Lol
 
Just finished cooling my batch of NB Honey Kolsch. I'm just letting the hops settle out of it for a few minutes, so I can limit the hop-sludge addition to the primary.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying a Shiner Kosmos Reserve. Wonderfully crisp, with a tangy green-apple acidity on the back end. I got this in a 6-pack, variety-pack. I've loved Shiner Bock for quite a while and jumped at the chance to try 5 others from the Spoetzel Brewery. The Blond was nice (not my favorite type of beer), the Hefe was very lemon-citrusy, and this Kosmos is uber-tasty. 2 more to go, after I pitch my yeast, then I'll be cracking open the first bottle of my NB Olde Luddite Strong Ale.
 
Just finishing up my first double ag day. Ready to get out of this cold garage. Did a Belgian golden strong ale and a monster iipa.
