Brewing the NB Kiwi express ag kit right this second...just about to mash out! Wife thinks I'm mowing the lawn...
 
Brewed a traditional Bock yesterday. Performed a triple decoction mash which made me remember why I haven't done a decoction mash for years. Too much damn work & time involved! Geesh.
 
on Wednesday, i took the blow tube out of my first batch of wheat beer.
on Thursday, i bottled my first ipa
on Friday, i racked my second ipa to secondary
on Saturday (today) i'm doing my second batch wheat beer.

how's that?
 
Brewed my first all grain last night! It was awesome. Just missed the OG but it's not too bad for my first go at it. Chocolate oatmeal stout and it tasted so good :D
 
Last night I bottled my chocolate milk stout. Right now I'm brewing a brown ale. The only bad part is that I emptied the fridge of homebrew while bottling and forgot to restock. So I have to brew without a homebrew in hand. Guess it should be the best batch yet!
 
Brewed my first full extract boil on my new Blichman burner. Made Brewers Best Milk Stout. Thinking of adding some Vanilla Bean to it but not sure yet.
 
Pitched yeast to 12 gal of a red Saison about 2 hrs ago. Tomorrow it's 10 gal of a simcoe centennial citra double IPA.
 
Brewed a Robust Porter BIAB method, bottled/kegged an Irish Red, and drank a few Haus Ales in the process. Good brewday.
 
Brewed the Northern Brewer Black IPA last night and then the Northern Brewer Big Honkin Stout this afternoon. The ferment chamber in the basement is experiencing some flatulence at the moment! Wanted to make an all cascade IPA today also but got tied up watching football.
 
mashing a barleywine as we speak, gotta get an early jump on things, want to get done at a respectable time today!
 
Just got done with my second brew session, it was my first partial mash. Continually hopped American IPA. Chilling in the sink right now.
 
Made my second beer yesterday- used a Brewer's Best American cream ale kit, and added a little lemon juice, sweet orange peel, and ginger to the boil. Probably going to add more orange peel and ginger in the secondary.
 
Brewing 10 gallons of lawnmower ale!

Won't be brewing this weekend, but will put some of the 15 odd cases of empties I've stocked up on in some PBW tonight, and finish up the rest throughout the week. Hopefully hitting the LHBS some time in the week, and bottling a couple batches next weekend and brewing another one.
 
Pitched at 11pm last night on my own Curly Blonde Ale. My first full boil, and also my first that wasn't making the airlock rattle the next morning. It's moving, but not like it has been. Still, R,DW,HAHB. We'll be fine. CAn't wait to try it though!
 
I just brewed up a batch of Edwort's Octoberfest. I've never seen bees so attracted to wort before! The little buggers were everywhere. Despite the wildlife it has been a lovely fall afternoon.
 
Yep Shoggoth, just pitched my IPA with San Diego Super Yeast and there was a bee swimming in my bucket. Hope he didn't bring any nasty bugs with him.
 
Brewed an all New Zealand hopped IPA yesterday with Riwaka and Motueka hops. 6.5% abv, 60 ibu's, 2 row, munich, and carapils for the malt bill, plus no hop additions before the final 25 minutes of the boil (hop burst technique). I add my flame out additions to 120F wort to also further encourage hop utilization and hop oil maximization.

Bees, just like fruit flies, often carry acetobacter on their bodies. You probably won't have a problem unless you want to age the beer for a while. WLP090 works super quick anyway, but if you keep a six pack in the back of the closet for a long time you might get some vinegar tasting beer.
 
Yep, I had a bung hole without an airlock outside for a bit. Guess he crawled in and decided to go swimming. I had an acetobacter infection in my second ever brew but not since then. Twenty some batches later I don't want another. But your right that the SD super yeast is going strong. Hopefully it will win that battle. Thanks for your input
