I'm feeling like brewing my first big batch (4 gallons) of Flanders red/American wild ale. Been brewing one gallons up to now. It'd be cool to start a year Long process on new years!
 
Brewing an Imperial Chocolate Oatmeal Stout... American style with Nugget and Willamette Hops. It Smells good in my garage right now :bam:
 
Got a whole bunch of new gear for Christmas including kegs... so now I got to fill them! Been putting back more than a couple homebrews this evening. I think I'll throw a batch together tonight, we'll see how that goes!
 
I am thinking about brewing on Monday. Perhaps an American Wheat or something light and sessionable to balance out all these big winter beers I have on tap at the moment.
 
Doing an Orange Blossom Saison on Saturday and a Russian Imperial Stout on Sunday/Monday


So stoked

I brewed a Kolsch and Smoked Porter yesterday. My 2 buddies made a Belgian Wit, Dunkelwiezen, and something else I can't remember. Smoothest brewday in a while. I kegged my BMC clone and an APA as well.
 
Just brewed a Chestnut brown ale, I chose to not add the chestnuts and see how it turns out.
 
Snowy Brew Day! About to mash in 21 lbs of grain for a RIS to celebrate the birth of my first baby, Connor! Hope to save/age a couple bottles for him to try when I think he is old enough.

Congratulations! Being a dad is amazing!
 
Damn snow!!! I can't ride my motorcycle in it, so that sucks... But I had some grains coming in today, so I figured I could make it a brew day!... However, the FedEx guy canceled his route for the day due to weather. Tomorrow's Sunday and Monday is New Years Eve, so I'm not sure when it'll come in. FedEx sucks here, so whenever they do finally ship it, they'll probably deliver it to the wrong location. They deliver my packages to the wrong address literally about 1/5 of the time, which is pretty outrageous IMO. I also constantly get several of my neighbor's packages that I just hand-deliver to them rather than rely on the ineptitude of the local drivers to bring it to the right address. I've called in and complained a couple of times without much success. I'm to the point where I don't think I'll be doing business with companies that ship through FedEx. I never have any problems with UPS or USPS. /rant

Soooo... No brewing for me this weekend is the short version. lol
 
Brewing Hefeweizen today. Also my first decoction step mash. The first decoction step went smoothly, the second decoction is resting, and I'll get that up to boiling here shortly.
 
Brewed a white IPA from Jasper's today. Wheat malt extract brew with nugget, target, and zythos hops. Will dry hop with an ounce of Citra. Wyeast forbidden fruit yeast. Can't wait to try this one.
 
Going to brew an IPA with Summit,Columbus,NZ pacific jade. 2-row, pilsen,red wheat,vienna,crystal malts. Along with trying out dry Bry-97 yeast. As much as I would like to keep it simple this just sounds good to me.Think I will split up the summit and columbus in the boil and dry hop the jade.

Looks like Im practically going to be hopbursting this,due to Columbus and Summits high AAU. Doing a 2.5 gal batch and using 2 oz of hops for the boil,I can only use about .25 columbus to bitter the rest are going for flavor/flame out. Dont think Ive ever added this much hops at the end of boil. Should be interesting.
 
Just started my vanilla imperial stout. The specialty grains are steeping right now. Tomorrow may be a black ipa our a blonde. It's been a few months since brewing, thank goodness I have some time to brew!
 
Today was an ESB with willamette and tettnang hops. A nice 10 gallon batch good for splitting with my brew buddy.
 
Currently halfway through the boil on JZ's Reprobate Stout from Brewing Classic Styles. The first runnings looked like motor oil. Yummy. This will also be my first batch that I keg. Woohoo!
 
No brewing next weekend, but I am going to be picking up my 155# base grain order and will be adding 10 more 8# bags of specialty grain, to it while Im there.

Muhahahaahhahaahaa, milling, mashing, boiling, fermenting oh my Muhahahhhahaa!
