Just finished up with a basic extract wheat brew. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1401653430.606844.jpg
Nothing fancy but I will rack on to raspberries when I transfer to secondary.


Sent from my van, down by the river.
 
Brewed the hill 56 clone from Russian river that's on here. Don't normally do clones but figured since I can't get the real thing I'll make my own!

Gonna do another IPA with cascade and centennial, bittered with warrior.

So many choices with hops I have!

Another dozen gallons of Hefe is going on top of the yeast cake from the batch I brewed two weeks ago!
 
Hoping to do my first AG this weekend. Still have a few things to get together this week before I can do it though. Plan on doing an APA with Chinook for bittering and Centennial and Citra for flavour/aroma.
 
I'm making my 69 minute F-Me IPA this Saturday morning. It's a 69 minute boil with about 8 different types of hops added at almost every 10 minutes. All of these hops are from my private garden picked last fall and dried and vacuum sealed and frozen. My boil is 69 min and also my IBU's are estimated at 69 as well. Since these are fresh hops I do not know what the actual AA is for the types I grow so I take the mean % of the range and figure on that.

Also I'm making a real beebread. In my bread maker instead of plain water I'm adding that amount in a hop shot of Cascade I'm extracting tonight and let cool in the refrigerator.
 
Hoping to make the first batch of my Livin' Easy Summer Ale. 2-row/pilsner base with horizon and either mt hood or cascade
 
I'm doing my first brew in a while on Saturday night. Got a summer ale brewers best kit. Gonna give it a shot and then and IPA next weekend. Setting up the garage to make it. Can't wait!
 
Making my starter for my steam beer. Going to be using wlp810 San Fran lager yeast. Made a steam beer but used us-05 so technically it's an ale and not a hybrid but I'll compare and contrast the real steam vs the feux steam...

The rosemary rye I brewed last night is curretnly fermenting away. I just mashed in my Oatmeal Stout, and when thats finished, i'll be on to my house pale ale (armarillo hops). First time I've brewed since moving into the old house, need to rebuild that pipe line.:mug:
 
Since I do not have the ingredients for the brew I had wanted to do today, and the LHBS is closed on Sundays, I think I am going to throw a quick 5 gallon something together.

Looking at what I have in stock I think I will just have fun and do a light simple

8 Lbs 2-row
12 oz Crystal 40
with Cascade (i have a lot) at 1 oz for FWH, and .5 oz at 10 and flameout.

Looks like I have some S-04 so will use that.
Should turn out to be about 3.7%

I figure I will start brewing in about an hour. Thoughts?

According to Beersmith, 29 IBU, color 4.7, est abv 4.1%
If you want a bit more color and flavor, you could take a bit of the 2-row, say 1/2 pound and roast in the oven (a thin layer) @ 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. If it were me, I'd also up the IBU a bit. For example, Yooper's Pale Ale uses all cascade and is a crowd favorite here on HBT. It's schedule is:
1 oz @ 60
.75 oz @ 30
1 oz @ 10
.5 oz @ 5
.5 oz @ 0
1 oz dry hop.
 
No brewing today, but instead it's transfer to keg day. Four brews: Schwartzbeir, a Summit MO SMaSH (looked awesome in the carboy, also doing a Summit hop dry hop on this), Sierra Nevada Celebration clone (dry hop with cascade and celebration), and Victory Hop Devil clone (dry hop with cascade). Also processing the yeast to capture the Kolsch yeast from the Schwartzbeir and S-05.
