Brewed my first all-grain BIAB-style today. Started off on the wrong foot when the wind blew my hydrometer off my work bench and it broke. But everything else seemed to go ok after that.
 
Gotta finish cleaning up after bottling my ESB yesterday. Got 53 bottles out of a batch that took only two weeks to go from pitch to settled out clear.
 
Brewed my house pale ale (Citra with a touch of Nugget) this past weekend. I needed something hoppy in the pipeline, but mostly wanted the yeast cake for a barley wine I hope to brew in 2-3 weeks.

This weekend I'm brewing batch 100 (I think....) and am going back to the first beer I ever made, ESB. Very excited to see how far I've come. I still remember my first batch, the process, the flavor, the nervousness, the lack of patience :)
 
Got my brew on yesterday... Did my first all grain, which was a smokey Apple beer. We'll see how it turned out. 3 gallon batch. Smells good. Looks really cloudy . . .
Also did a Lilac Wine... Came out a nice colour. Yay!

Doubling up this weekend. I'm going to do a lawnmower beer (simple 4% Golden Promise/Centennial beer) and then my first ever Berliner weisse.
 
Not going to be actually brewing, but I'm going to make a nice small low gravity starter to start culturing up some yeast from Coniston Bluebird Bitter for my impending clone attempt. I've pitched sour dregs before, but never tried raising a regular yeast strain from the bottle before. Granted I'm pitching into a beer in the low 1.040's, so I won't need much yeast, but still figure this'll take a couple steps, no? Plan on using the Mr. Malty slurry figures to calculate the pitching rate.
 
Knocked out a six gallon batch of Hop Stoopid yesterday. Used my Hop Rocket w/ 2 oz of Simcoe.
Planning six gal if Cottage House Saison for Saturday.

Going to get the smoker going for some bbq and brew up a house pale ale. Should be pretty rad!
 
Sunday being the only day off I have from driving duty where my son's job is concerned,I'll be getting the saison brewed up then. Got the fermenter drained,rinsed & dried along with the spigot. The Cooper's Microbrew FV is still as clean as new. Now on to rinse & dry the bottling bucket & the home Depot orange one I crush my grains into & I'll be ready.
 
I was planning on an experimental American wheat ft. Goji berries for science. Then I came to the horrifying discovery that I'm down to 3 bottles of IPA remaining! I may need to change plans or brace myself for an epic brew day.
 
We are brewing on Tuesday, 2 pale ales - one will be our first ever Spelt beer.
