It's brew day, it's brew day, oh what a glorious day! Was planning on doing 5gal of a DIPA along with 5gal bells pale ale clone but came home from shift to find stir plate took a S*** sometime in the past 24 hrs and my starter looks pretty small. So flip a coin and see which one gets brewed.

Bottled my Centennial Blonde last night so the fermentation chamber is now empty. That just feels wrong.

Tonight I'll be giving KingBrianI's Common Room ESB a go. I had to substitute Special B for the dark crystal in the recipe and I've decided to add the quarter pound of biscuit some people use when they do this beer.

I'll be mashing BIAB style with a sparge step and then boiling in 2 pots on my electric stovetop. This method worked out fine when I brewed my blonde and I didn't have to scale the recipe down like I've been doing when only using one pot. This adds a little time to the brew night but increases my yield by ~5 or 6 litres (~15 - 18 bottles). My second pot is smaller than the one I typically use.
 
Just started mash in for my Deschutes chainbreaker white ipa clone and drinking my last Hi-Res of the year

My bourbon barrel porter is about to hit the brew pot. Im planning on adding oak , bourbon, cacao nibs, and some vanilla in secondary. Im sure it is going to be delicious.....in 6 months.

Brewing my first IPA tomorrow (my 17th batch overall). I am using the recipe from Brewing Classic Styles.

It's 2:00 in the AM and I've just put away the last piece of gear. Pretty typical brew night for me. Started around 6:30 PM, everything went pretty smooth except for a minor boil over which I almost caught. Brewing in two pots does divide you attention a little. Anyway the ESB is in my fermentation chamber and the yeast is pitched. I'm looking forward to this one.
 
I've been at it since 4 am!! A base for my sours gotta keep the pipeline flowing. 50/50 pilsen-wheat with some flaked oats added late in the mash.
 
Brewed my annual Belgian Wit. 10gals split into 2 fermentors. Wyeast Belgian Wit in 1/2 and Wyeast Forbidden Fruit in 1/2. I usually bottle 6-10 of each and then blend the rest together in a keg. Started doing this 2 years ago and really love what I get from blending the two. They are both happily bubbling away at 68F right now.
 
I made a snap decision to brew. It's just too nice out not to. Going with an ordinary bitter.
 
Since I'm working this weekend, I'm setting my sights on a double header bright and early Tuesday. SA Summer Ale and a Irish Red

One of my yeast vials was beyond it's date since the 11th of last month. Just don't have a good feeling about it. Of the five vials I've used from WL in the past, the yeast was always firm in the bottom on the vial requiring a good amount of agitating to get it into a slurry, this one (WLP400 dated March 11th) turned into a mix with just minimal movement. We'll see how the starter looks Tuesday. Maybe all will be well.
 
Brewed a "session whea-pa" on Saturday. 1.036 OG, 40 IBUs. All Willamette and Cascade hops.
 
Started the year off last weekend with a "ghetto winter wheat" and hope to brew another batch of something Friday. Not sure what but i'll find something!!
