Brewed a Bell's Two-Hearted Ale clone yesterday. Based off Northern Brewer's Dead Ringer kit - but purchased my own ingredients. Upped the hop schedule to be an oz at 60/40/20/10 and at flame out. Will dry hop with an oz in secondary too. Also added a 1/2 tsp of Paradise Seeds (ground) with 15 min to go. She's bubblin'!
 
Bottled American light Ale
Racked Liberty Cream Ale to secondary
And whipped up a batch of brazedowl's hard lemonade.
 
Feels like I did a lot this weekend. Did my first BIAB (an Amber) and bottled my last kit batch, an english pale. Unfortunately I also drank the last of my keg. I am out of HB for 2 weeks.:(
 
Finally racked my wee heavy to the keg. And got the ingredients for my first original recipe horizon/ perle/ cascade ipa. Brewing that next Sunday
 
Brewed a small experimental APA wort to try my first 100% Brett APA. Have to save the 10gal of Centennial Blond for next Sunday...
 
1st forum post. Might as well be here. I will be brewing my Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone, that I have made 100s of times. I have been brewing for 20 years, but for some reason I've been inactive the past 4-5 years. A friend of my wife's inquired about home brewing, and he asked to buy all my equipment. It was a wake up call. I'm tired of paying up to $30 for about 8L of good craft beer, so I will be not only sanitizing and readying my equipment, but actually instructing someone on this fine craft. Great, useful forum here, I've already learned some valuable stuff. cheers!
 
Power's out at work....so I've got a snow day.

Really wish I had more stuff on hand, but made due with a little 1Gallon batch that I can do inside the house!
 
Probably be brewing a IPA with falconers flight/seven seas/HBC342 that will be aged on chardonnay soaked oak chips one day this weekend.
 
I brewed my SMaSH belgian blonde last weekend and will be brewing either a light honey (malt) beer or a Nugget pale ale this weekend.
 
Cleaning up around the brew basement and had extra stuff not being used. So I whipped up a frankenstein kit for this weekend.

9lbs Brewers Malt 2-row (briess)
1lb Caramel Malt 60L 6-row (briess)
1lb Munich 10L 6-row (briess)

WLP029 German Ale

Northern Brewer 60min 1oz
Saaz .25oz at 10min and again .25oz at flameout
Tettnang .25 at 10min and again .25oz at flameout

Single infusion Full body Batch sparge at 156F for 60min (beersmith)

Sounds good, but how much munich do you have? Could make it even better with more.
 
ya this was all i have on hand. i have it saved in beersmith. how much would you add? for the next round :)

Depends on what you're going for. A nice malty, darker lager like a Marzen would have a LOT more Munich and probably some Vienna. Look at BierMuncher's OktoberFAST to see what I mean. That's an exceptional beer that can be made with ale yeast or SFL yeast as well, or your favorite lager yeast.

Here's how I made it last year (9g batch):

American Pale Ale - 9lbs (50.6%)
American Munich 10 - 7lbs (39.3%)
American Crystal 40 - 1.8lbs (10.1%)
 
ah If my order from Northern Brewer comes by Friday I am!

have me some Bavarian Hefeweizen, Big Honkin' Stout, & AK47 Pale Mild kits ordered up last night.
 
Brewing up a slightly modified Caribou Slobber, since I'm picking up DME and specialty grains from my LHBS.
