Finished brewing about an hour ago, I got to brew with my christmas present a 15 gal ss pot with basket, it covered 2 burners and made the stove look small, I got to brew my first full boil tonight thanks to my Wife, it was a Vienna/Northern Brewer SMaSH, we decided to name it Smashing Christmas only 6 to 7 more weeks and we will be pulling the lever on that.

Cheers to All :)
 
Made a batch of cider with Japanese plums yesterday. Started feeling pretty ill by the end of the night, but pushed through. Sick as a dog today, but whatever.

1.050 OG, beautiful dark purple color, tasted great, like a cranberry/plum/blueberry juice. Lalvin 1118, bubbling away. We'll see how she turns out.
 
I am still planning but I think I'll brew some smoked beer this weekend, strong scotch ale is in my head so far.
 
The white death is coming tomorrow, so I think I'll brew Thursday. Gonna do the Celebration clone from BYO this time.
 
Tomorrow I will be brewing a English Dark Mild exactly to BJCP style 52-A specifications. (I hope) I have an London ESB 1968 yeast cake waiting for me. I have never really brewed a beer to match a style first, and flavor later. To be honest, I have never had a Dark Mild before, but my wife and I both enjoy darker style beers, and I hope we like this one too.
 
Friday I will be brewing batch #2 which is a Newcastle type beer. It's from my LHBS and it's called Nutcase Brown Ale. I'm trying to stagger these batches to establish a good pipeline. I think 5 gallons every 2-3 weeks should be more than enough!
 
Saturday will be my 2ᴺᴰ try at BigHair Belgian/SWMBO Slayer/Midwest Belgian Blonde Kit

will be a ½batch for a competition to see who gets to represent my brewclub in the AHA club-only competition

my LBHS does not carry crystal/caramel 10L and was out of flaked wheat, so I'm substituting cara-helles (11L) and red wheat malt.

made a lot of mistakes my first try; way over on temps for my steeping grains, boiled the DME for the full hour, went with different hops and yeast. turned out OK, but the BigHair didn't like it at all.
 
Got my Chinook/Vienna SMaSH boiling now, got grains milled for a Kolsch I'll brew after I'm done with the SMaSH, and then I'll brew a Hefeweizen this weekend.
 
Brewing the white house honey porter this weekend that I converted to all grain from extract and also a small batch of wine for the wife. Gotta wrap up my 2012 brewing and start planning for next year!
 
I just got my kit for Christmas and i ordered my 40 qt pot that should be in tomorrow, so I just may be brewing this weekend. Brewers best altbier.
 
finishing the keezer, and brewing a nut brown Goose Island clone. When the ball is droping we will be doing an amber ale also.
 
Heading to LHBS tomorrow after work to get the fixin's for a Southern English Brown. This'll be the first brew destined for the new kegging rig that Santa brought..! :)
 
Bout ready to start my 90 minute boil...Very cold in Boston today...It's amazing that after all these years, I still get excited when I'm brewing...The process, the aromas. Ahh the aromas....Love a boiling keggle..It does so many amazing things. It keeps me warm, produces incredible smells and makes great beer..Is there nothing it can't do.
 
Brewing up the White House Honey Ale all grain addition. Was going to brew today, but will wait until Sunday when the weather is nice and sunny. Will also be trying out my new Corona Mill that I built a cabinet for it. Can go manual or electric.:D
 
Brewing my house APA on New Years Eve. Decided to make my last brew of 2012 the same beer as the first of the year I brewed back in Feb. It will be interesting to see the progression of my brewing skill. The first time I brewed it I was doing stovetop, extract, partial boils, and now I'm doing AG full boil brews (for better or worse :cross: ). The recipe is the same in spirit so it will be cool to compare notes on the two.
 
Two going this weekend. First is a quick Pale Ale. Added a little C120L to make it a little red and I'm using a Kolch yeast. Second is an IPA. Should have both going by New Year's Day so I can watch some football. Carboys for Christmas was a good choice on my part.
