If I get a short opportunity I'll whip up a canned cider kit I picked up a couple weeks ago. Seems like the easy way out, I can be lazy every now and then. Hard to believe cider goes for about $3.25 a tall can. Insanity.
 
7kg malt - check
17l of 80°C water - check
MLT that will hold temperature and water for the next 12 hrs - I'll find out tomorrow. :eek:

Holding water, yes. Holding Temperature, not so much. Still, it was a brew day and I have 20L in a fermenter and an IPA in a couple of weeks.
 
Going to take my new 10gal brew kettle for a spin tomorrow. Will brew my last extract beer, a SMaSH with Fuggles (although I suppose it is possible there's more than one malt in the DME, I'm going to call it a SMaSH anyway)


"I will make it felony to drink small beer. "
 
Question to all my sour beer fans... is Sour in the Rye from the Bruery brewed with Brett Brux? I just brewed a saison yesterday with 3711, and I wanted to add blackberries when the fermentation started to slow. I also decided I want to make my first sour beer, so I decided I am going to dump my favorite beer's dregs into it. That way, initially it will just be a blackberry saison, but as time goes on it will sour up in the bottle. Anyone know if Sour in the Rye is a brett brux sour?
 
Finally getting to my peach hydromelomel project. Think I may throw some juneberries in it too.

EDIT: juneberries out because I was going over my target volume.
 
Just brewed my Brewers Best Irish Stout...Had 1 problem. I added the dme, lme and Maltodextrin ...and at 8 minutes into the boil I noticed the 2nd bag of dme.

So I added it right away...any problem with the late addition of half the dme??

Thanks Lowell

Nope, there are even recipes that have you add during the last bit of the boil.
 
Brewing my raspberry wheat right now

Brewed an American wheat yesterday. The yeast is going nuts in the fermenter as I type this. Also added some Orval dregs to a gallon of another brew I did.
 
Brewed up an India Rye brown ale on Saturday. I will be brewing "Dank you very much" hoppy saison next Saturday.
 
Planning to brew this weekend. Just need to pick a recipe and set aside a bit of time. Lots going on. I need a fresh Pale Ale or similar beer for the spring. Maybe a wit.
 
I plan on brewing this weekend. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone for my husband. I ordered a mini mash by mistake. I've brewed the extract kit for him before, which I might add turned out pretty gosh darn tasty! Being fairly new to this hobby, I've convinced myself that I'm just not ready to break away from LME/DME, but my husband keeps bugging me about when I'm gonna make "his brew".....now I'm forced to advance myself.:) Oh well, gotta learn eventually. It'll be interesting. Wish me luck!

There are very few things you can't make with LME / DME. Don't rush away from it until you're really ready. Cheers and welcome to the bottomless pit that is our hobby.

That said, don't be scared of doing the PM/mini mash. It's not that scary! And you already know where to come for any tips/advice.

Ha, I have recently realized I can go back to extract brews for some test recipes and extract/steeping grains for others.
 
Finally going to try my hand at a Saison. Went to mpls last week, stopped by Northern Brewer, picked up a bunch of ingredients (including some wyeast 3711!) and plan on brewing on Friday! Can't wait
