I am prepping for a medium bodied lager with Mexican Lager yeast. This time of the year my garage maintains temps in the mid to low 40's. I have a Grolsch clone fermenting out there now. I will try to brew 4 or 5 more Lagers over the next week or so.
 
Doing a double brew day...20 gallons total ....10 gallons of a Mosaic, Citra and Nelson Sauvin hopped IPA and 10 gallons of a Rye IPA
 
Big Brew at the brewery Saturday! Recipe of the month is a blonde...1/2 price ingredients and they chill the wort. Planning to add strawberries...some at a couple of minutes before flameout and some in secondary. Maybe. I'll also be bottling my American wheat beer with citra and citrus.
 
Brewed an iipa this morning. Had some isses trying to brew with three kids under 6 (one of which strapped to my back!). Had a little boil over when I looked away for a second at a screaming kid, but hit close to OG, so I'm hopeful it'll work out as planned. Happy brewing.

Just saw this. I'll see you there! I didn't know you decided to add some at flameout, that is a good idea. My goal is to do 10 gallons, one the way of the recipe and the other with Denny's Favorite yeast and strawberries. We shall swap!

So like this guy, I'll be brewing the same blonde ale this weekend.

I found frozen strawberries for $4.39/2lb package at Food Lion...bought 3 pkgs. I think I will do them all at flameout and skip secondary, unless someone convinces me that I'm going to ruin it or something! Keeping it simple, tweak future batches if this one indicates I should. What do you think? "Hello", in my PM I asked if you were going to do some without strawberries...I should have reviewed here first ...I see you addressed that. What is "Denny's Favorite yeast"? What's the expectation from it?
 
Thinking about firing the kettle and doing a honey blonde, might also get ambitious and do a golden strong or a hoppy steam style beer.
 
I'm doing a batch of enohcs Award Winning American IPA. I'm going to use Wyeast Burton IPA Blend yeast since it was available @ my LHBS.

For the yeast it says this, "This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and is a mainstay of one of our local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and accentuates the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated."

So basically I thought it would really enjoy the fruit. The other half will be unadulterated blonde. I'm excited. I have to ghetto rig my setup but I'm doing it!
 
Doing my last batch for awhile tomorrow (baby due 4 weeks from Sunday)...going to wake up and create a recipe with what is on hand to use it up. Then I will pack up anything I don't need to bottle or keg the batch and put it in storage...aka my parents house, I live in the city and babies have a ton of stuff! Need to make room

Congrats!
Babies take a lot of time, but don't forget, you can extract brew in a two hours or so. It may take additional planning to brew with kids, but it can be done.

I did a little Googling and the way it's described as working with fruit beers is interesting. I wonder if I should switch from the one in the recipe...have to go look at that again.

Thanks! I am obviously super excited and while I know I can make the time..I live in Boston in a big yet still one bedroom place and as of now committed to keep the place bucket and carboy free for my wifes sake...two weeks ago I had two buckets a carboy and 50 bottles tucked in a corner. That space now has a rocker? Not sure the proper name... A pack n play and a yet to be unpacked carseat, massive swing and misc other baby items.

Hopefully I'll be brewing Sunday and taking advantage of the nice weather. All depends on if my hops come in the mail tomorrow. Fingers crossed
