weather permitting, I'm going to try my 1st 10 gallon batch. Still on the DME "kits" right now, but hopefully going AG after this brew. Picked out a Mild Brown Ale for this weekend (Sunday).
Assuming I can use the lip of my garage to keep my wart free of rain - I'll be brewing my 2nd all-grain batch this weekend, 3rd batch total. Gonna try my hand at making a rye-ale of my complete own doing. It could be bad, it could be good. Either way, I'll have fun.
In the brew room now -- brewing a new Centennial IPA recipe. Nice to be inside because outside today are 20 to 30 mph winds, blowing snow wind chill about 10.
Let us know the result... I've been contemplating a decoc hefe at some point over next few months. We're brewing a hefe at work next week so I've got plenty of hefe yeast available
Making a strong porter with juniper and licorice. Bottled a Scottish ale yesterday and a wicked bourbon vanilla stout on Wednesday. Wow, the stout turned out great. Basically doubled the bourbon and vanilla in the Denny Conn recipe. The stout is a smooth 10 %abv before the bourbon. I like big beers and I cannot lie, those other brewers can deny..........
Jealous. Working on putting in a new floor but I did get to buy some of kegging stuff today. The batch I brewed last week will hopefully be the first to be kegged.
Making a UK Ipa with washed wlp005 british liquid and making a starter for the first time for that.
Doing a double batch so im making an ipa with wlp051 washed yeast no idea what hops im going to choose for both but i know im using the rest of my citra pack for a late addtion for this one. Was going to make a black ipa but maybe next time. NO idea what cali v wlp051 is like and i will probably have made 3-5 different batches without even knowing how this yeast is.
