Busy three day weekend. A friendship brew on Sat for a club fruit or veg competition, bottled two versions of a cider and brewed up an extract golden strong base to use a homemade rhubarb/blackberry syrup in. Almost sound like a brewer now. :D
 
brewing 10 gallons of American stout this afternoon and picking up 10 gallons of fresh crushed grapes tonight for my first wine batch.
 
I just brewed the all grain version of T-Can and Bearcat's Wheaten Beatdown this past Sunday. It was a beautiful, sunny, perfectly coolish-warm fall day in Minnesota!
 
Brewed a Pliny the Elder clone. 12.5 gallons in the fermenter. 17 gallon boil in a 20 gallon pot. A little worried - watched that boil like a hawk. Ended up with 1.075 - right on the money. Pitched a crap-ton of yeast from 2 smack-paks in a 4 liter starter last night at 5pm. Blowing strong at 7am when I left the house.

Should be ready to drink by mid-November. It will likely be consumed in it's entirety at an annual neighborhood flag football game in December - if it lasts that long, heh, heh.
 
I'm planning a 6 gal AG batch of Stone's Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. It should be a beast! 23 lbs of grain & an OG of 1.099!

Planning on brewing an apa for my wife's bday coming up. Looking fwd to a brew day, finally!
 
Boiling a saison that I did a partial sour mash on. Sunday I am brewing up a Baltic porter.
 
My daughter's wedding was this past weekend and we drank ALL the beer. A nut brown ale, Edwort's Haus Cascade PA, and an ESB.

Started replenishing with a Terrapin Rye PA clone yesterday and will be doing a Bee Cave Robust Porter tomorrow, followed by a Zombie Dust clone and another ESB to get the pipeline restarted.

Want to have the Porter ready for Thanksgiving, so gotta get it going.

Should be able to squeeze something in this weekend. I'm right out of IPA, so that's clearly a contender for being made. Also been tempted to whip up that Centennial Blonde that people are always talking about. Still have a bit of time to think about it.
 
I'm brewing an IPA with unknown hops from the neighbors' yard tonight. Pretty standard malt bill and Chico yeast, so I can let the hops shine through.
 
Going to attempt to get two five gallon stouts from an RIS grain bill of 23#'s! Makes for a long brew day but I'm up for it...

If the weather's crappy I'll be brewing. If it's not, then I'll be busy tearing up the yard for next years garden.
 
Today's my weekend; I'm working Saturday and Sunday. I'm getting ready to brew a saison; basically channel66's Shipwreck Saison with Belle Saison yeast.

But first I have to go buy a thermometer. A couple of weeks ago I borrowed the one that's normally stuck through the side of my cooler mash tun, and stuck it in the top of a tri-tip instead. Went to get a beer when the tri-tip was half-done. When I got back the meat was charred black, and the thermometer was toast.:drunk:

Never had a grease fire grilling a tri-tip before. On the other hand, I never grilled a 4 1/2 pound tri-tip before. :) Surprisingly, the meat was still good; just a hair past the medium-rare stage I like. I just had to trim the charred outside off each piece as I sliced it.
 
Having 4 of 5 buddies over since our wives are having a girls weekend. Gonna bottle 10 gal of esb and Reload the fermenters w 10 gal of Citra blonde. A few guys are wanting to learn and the weather is beautiful!!!!

Oh, also smoking 2 Boston butts for dinner as well!!!

Deacon.
 
Im making a south pacific pale ale as we speak. 4 kg of pale 2 row, 1 kg of malted wheat with cascade and nelson sauvin for aroma.
Then got a leg of pork going on the spit with a ginger and paprika marinade.
 
I will be making my Holiday brew on Sat, a All Grain version of a Corsendonk Christmas Ale I brewed last year.
 
Bottling my tart cherry oaked Quad, 10.48%, tonight.

Brewing a pumpkin ale in the morning.

Brewing up 5 gallons of Gingerbread Brown as we speak, just started boiling. Hit my mash temp and pre-boil gravity PERFECTLY, which is something I struggled with on my Hefeweizen two weeks ago and all my brews two years ago. Super excited for this one.

Brewed 5 gallons of stout in one of the most nightmarish brew session since I have started 4 years ago:

- I Had trouble stirring the grain in the tun since it was so full and burned myself.
- I didn't hit my mash temp.
- I decided to brew on the covered patio instead of the side of the house since the forecast was rain, but the day ended up hot as hell with sun and the patio became overrun with japanese ladybugs who wanted to get in the wort and/or house.
- There's no running water on the patio, so I had to rig all kind of hoses to plug my wort chiller.
- Gravity ended up 10 points too low (I thought my crush looked funny, but didn't crush a second time).
- My mother in law was there the whole day.

Let's hope the beer turns out, altough the "IBU/SG ratio" and "alone time/mother in law was there" ratio of this brew are all out of whack.
