Last night I brewed an American lite lager and a Düsseldorf altbier. Huge efficiency on both but the wind was blowing and it took awhile to get to boil on the last beer which was partially cold sparged. Start to finish took like 5.5 hours. I was ready to sleep. The alt was a new record for mineral content in my brews. And the lite lager felt like a new low of tastelessness and balance. I still love homebrewing!
 
I did a first Lager with my neighbor who helped out and learning also.
My mash temp flucuated from 149down to 144 up to 153.
I really dont know what the taste will come from this.(Investing in a Mash Tun)!...
Boil went great except almost boil over(first time).We missed the gravity shy of 3 points.
We had fun,drank some and hopefully made it.
 
That is my favorite hop combo for a Rye IPA. Have one in the fermenter right now that is getting bottled next week. YUM

Cool, glad to here I may have a winner:mug: I think this is my first Rye IPA, so I just used Pale 2 row and the Rye about 20%. Actually think I may have got the keep it simple idea from you some years ago:rockin:
 
Brewed a big ol shot at a partial brew Barleywine yesterday. Wanted 1.100 and hit 1.112, so missed on the highside, weird. Two packets of windsor and lots of shaking and fastest ferment yet, full karausen in ~8hrs?
 
Doing a two-fer because holiday weekend.

I was going to do one Saturday and one Sunday. Then I commented to SWMBO that I love the new plate chiller because it shaves so much time off of brewday. She said "pretty soon you'll be doing two in one day." Then it hit me: Do both batches back to back. That way I have only one cleanup! So I'll do a Simcoe/Amarillo IPA and Orfy's Mild back-to-back.
 
I am brewing my "Helluva IPA" on Friday night. Nothing special, some extract with a little Carapils, a little black malt to get a little red colour, and Columbus & Zythos hops. US-05 yeast and I'm good.

Right before that, bottling my barleywine. It will be tough to put that up for 7 months before even drinking one, but I am gonna do it! I CAN DO IT!!!

:D
 
I'll be brewing my first batch of the year on Saturday, my "Green Mountain IPA". It's a simple all-grain recipe I made up. I originally used yeast from Bells Two Hearted bottles, but this time I'm using Wyeast 1318 - London Ale III. Sure hope it comes out nice. It was my most popular batch last year.
 
Brewing up another try at my Fat Tire Clone

and kegging up a porter and a chocolate stout.
 
My Irish Red should be clearer by tomorrow, I'll test it again then. My dry stout for whiskely has 9 days under it's belt, so fermenters full. Working on my Burton #1 recipe, still doing revisions for my first barleywine, an old one at that, about 1820. :rockin::ban::ban::tank:
 
Brewing a honey Saison with Amarillo hops on Monday.

Turns out my local water is perfect with no additions for this style, should be a fun afternoon on the long weekend.
 
With any luck, I hope to do an IPA, a stout, an Octoberfest and a Mike's Hard Lemonade Clone. Rather ambitious I think.
 
Back to the drawing board on my pale thanks to some helpful tips from the folks on here. First time doing my own grind - may add jalapenos or watermelon to secondary.

Looking forward to some fine brewing weather, bbq, and maybe even a cigar!
 
Brewed up Yoopers House Pale tonight. All went pretty well. Had a break between the mash and boil for child wrangling so it took 6 hrs, but all done by 10:00pm.
 
Had no time to get the starter going for my Christmas ale that we want drink during a July party, so I'll have to get another pack of 1028 from the LHBS. I'm excited to get one done and taste it, as it is the first recipe that i have patched together, oh and i love the Christmas ales.
 
I'm brewing up a centennial American pale ale here after while. 90 minute boil, but adding 4 oz of hops. 1 oz @ 30, 1 oz @ 20, 1 oz @ 10, 1 oz @ flame out.
 
Brewing desitka pils (10 Plato, 1.040 OG) with floor malted pilsner malt from Weyermann (decoction mash), Iunga (PL), Sladek (CZ) & Mittelfrueh (DE) hops, W-34/70 yeast.
I don't know, if I'll brew other lager this summer, this one goes way to fast and I NEED to keep it in stock at all times.
 
Fire in the hole and 13 gallons in the BK! Red Rye pale ale starting the boil now. I was heading strike water by 545 this morning so I should be in the fermenter by noon.
