I finally got done taking my son to work & hittin' Walmart on the way back. Went to the drive through to get some Great Lakes Chill Wave DIPA to go with the others for later. Now I can get my boil going after weighing out some of the extract.
 
After several long months of not brewing, today I made a batch of Tri-Crops Cream Ale. All went well, should be brewing something else in another 2 weeks. Gotta fill my Keezer, heheheheheheh.
 
I had planned on a 10 gallon batch of ginger beer for tomorrow, I can go AG or PM with MO extract and 6 row. I went to 2 of my usual stores and the ginger root supply was completely dessicated. I don't think anyone bought any since my last purchase. I'll look again tomorrow and if not available I may dejectedly do a blond or a cream ale. I have some T-58 and the temps are perfect.
 
First 10 gallons of citra/Simcoe pale in the fermentor. Boiling 10 gallons of ipa with a British grain bill and 10 oz of Ahtamum between the flavor and hopstand additions. Going to dry hop it with EKG, Czech Saaz, and mor Ahtanum.
 
Gettin' the FV & spigot cleaned & sanitized while I wait from bittering to flavor & aroma additions. Northern brewer for bittering & EKG for flavor/aroma.
 
5 gallons of blonde ale moved into the fermenter, 10 minutes into the mash for the stout now. Progress. Enjoying a homebrew or 4 in celebration of the holiday along the way. Cheers, fellow brewers! :mug:
 
quick batch of Newcastle clone extract from AIH.
Both taps are empty and with all the spring stuff that needs done outside this seemed like a good way to fill a tap.
 
Did 5 gallons of a chamomile wheat beer. Smelled...EXCELLENT! Planning on a big brew with some friends tomorrow. Not sure what I'm gonna do on that yet. Something Belgian because that's the yeast I have on the stirplate at the moment.
 
Got my ESB in the fermenter last night. The re-hydrated S-04 yeast took off sometime during the wee hours overnight. My Irish red is in the FV a week today. Great to have my fermenters full again!
 
First 10gal batch

Slims lemon lime hefe always a smer crowd pleaser

Between a double batch Big Brew Day, keeping an eye on the hockey playoffs, building a clone of my RaspberryPints server ("It's alive!") and successfully killing the last of a dark ale so its successor could take its spot on tap, Saturday was a good day. And aside from the &^#%$! rain Sunday started off nicely with dueling krausens...

Cheers!

Boulevard Tank 7 clone. Finally found some Amarillo and bought a bunch so I can hopefully succeed this time

Yeah,me too! I pitched on the ESB I brewed yesterday about 9pm. By the wee hours,it was bubbling merrily. That's what happens when the starter/re-hydrate is pitched within 10 degrees of wort temp. :rockin:
 
Brewed a lambic yesterday. I generally keep a "hands off" approach to my sours,, so apart from refilling the airlock I plan to pretty much ignore it.

It's a test in patience but it's always worth it. I brew 6 gallons of oud bruin every year. It's awesome that it costs me ~$30 and an 11.2oz bottle is usually $5-$8 :D

Yeah as long as you have the patience and somewhere to cram the fermenters away it is definitely way cheaper to brew your own sours than to buy them. Of course, that doesn't keep me from indulging in them anyway...
 
Two big batches of sour and a ginger cider in the fermenters.

12 Gallons lightly smoked Berliner Weisse
12 Gallons Gose
6 gallons ginger cider

Weather permitting, I might do a 7.5 gallon batch of wit tomorrow.
 
Did the HBT-famous Lake Walk Pale Ale today. Used a very healthy pitch of S-04 and 60 seconds of o2. It's happily bubbling away in my ferm chamber. Moved my ESB to the keg. Good weekend.
 
The ESB I brewed on NHB day was bubbling like a machine pistol yesterday. Constant burps of bubbles that held the center piece up for long,steady streams like it might need a blow off. Darn near did. slowing down today with the re-hydrated S-04. The Irish red has been in the fermenter 1 week as of yesterday. It's bubbling occasionally as it finishes up atm. I'm starting to like this S-04 yeast,as it does seem to work quickly.
 
YES! Hopefully Saturday. Sunday if my grains don't come in time. Using my new turkey fryer, and doing my second all-grain batch. Looking forward to it immensely
