Not brewing unless Hop Union's Citra hops were/are harvested today, and I'm able to get em from my LHBS tomorrow/Sunday. Should be happening any day now. I'm getting anxious.

I will, however, be bottling a Dubbel and racking a Blonde onto strawberries this weekend.
 
Brewing Yooper's dead guy ale now.
Missed my pre-boil by .005 so decided to go for a 90 minute boil.

My first AG in my new mash tun. Making a rye pale ale

7 lbs 2-row american pale ale
2 lbs rye malt
1 lbs carared
8 oz crystal malt 90L
8 oz rice hulls

centennial 1.329 oz at 9.4% AA 60 min boil
fuggles 0.9 oz at 5% AA 10 min boil

us-05 dry yeast

can't wait to see how it turns out
 
If anyone is interested there are swing top bottles of lemonade 1 liter. For sale at big lots for 3 dollars. This is cheaper than empty swing top bottles anywhere else I have found them and you get to drink a soda.
 
Just put my second batch of home brew into the primary. Bottled my first last week. It is a summer ale. My second is a Pumpkin Spice Porter.
 
Mashing right now. Hybrid Pale Ale type 'thing'.

11 gallons

15 lb Crisp Marris Otter
5 lb briess wheat malt
1 lb British medium crystal
.5 lb crisp amber
.5 lb American six row (for a little extra conversion)

Hops whole leaf:

90 minutes .5 oz BC Goldings (5.9% AA), .6 oz Magnum (20% AA)
30 minutes .5 oz BC Goldings
15 minutes 1 oz BC Goldings
FO 2 oz BC Goldings

Yeast S-04

OG 1.054 ish, IBU 36ish, SRM 8ish

We'll see. Just trying to use what I have. I haven't used this yeast yet. I hear it's good to keep it around the lower 60's.

Wife and son out running around enjoying the cooler weather. Brewing alone and loving it!

Drinking a Boulevard pale ale.

Couldn't brew this weekend, waiting on some fermenters to become available. Today is going to be big.

Kegging 2 beers
Brewing Nelson clone
Propogating yeast(turning one vial into four)
Maybe I'll brew a milk stout as well to pitch on a cake, but I'll likely wait until Wednesday.
 
Going to do a farmhouse type beer on Thursday with Wlp670... just a basic 10% wheat, 10% rye, then pale malt... maybe some Munich in there as well.
 
Just got my Black Wheat into the primary about an hour ago. Missed my OG by a mile and didnt have any DME to make up for it, so now its a nice sessional Black Wheat. Hopefully it will still turn out decent. I think I need to calibrate my thermometer, or work on improving my batch sparging technique. Either way I'll have beer in the keg in 10 days.
 
Brewed an amber ale today. Breaking in the new fermentation chamber. I am brewing a chipotle blonde Thursday. Then a blonde for a fruit beer. My wife needs to decide what kind of fruit she wants. Im thinking blueberry.
 
Currently have my closet full with (3) 5 gallon batches, so I need to bottle one or two of those before I can brew again. I am, however, going to a buddy's house to help him brew (getting back into it after a 2-3 year break). Its nice to enjoy the process without having to do any of the cleaning :)
