If the LHBS I'm going to tonight has a big bag of MO, I plan to brew my own MO & Centennial ipa. 1st attempt was best ipa @ local club meeting fun competition. Going to tweak the recipe a little & try making it better.
If I can't get MO tonight then I will get another base malt and make a SMaSH using the equinox hops I won with my Centennial ipa!
 
I sometimes wish to keg but I do love the tedious task of bottling. It keeps me away from the crazy life of the family for a good hour and a half. I do love my me time. Maybe when the little guy gets older he can join.


You're more than welcome to help bottle mine, I just bottled a stout 5 days ago that was brewed on jan 17th. It was not lack of bottles or intentional bulk aging I just didn't feel like washing and sanitizing 50+ bottles lol
 
Well, I'm brewing Monday - close enough. Making Adventures in Homebrewing's recent $20 extract kits - their wheat and Mexican Amber. Hard to argue with 10 gallons for $40!
 
Didn't get my brew on last weekend.
So my son and I brewed up 8.5ltr of partial mash brown,og 1.065 to ferment with s-33 and then sourrrrr
 
I was stuck with 24hr duty today, so I turned it into a brew day! "Helo Haus" hefeweiss:D

Brewed up a " left overs " brown ale today. Little MO,Brown Malt, chocolate and crystal 80. Oh and 3oz of toasted flaked oats. Used some EKG for the hops.
Only had enough to squeeze out 1.75gal and it came in at 1.040 so it will be a session brown.
 
Firing up a some sort of black rye IPA tonight! Maybe 15% rye, some midnight wheat, a pinch of C-60, plus the standard 2-row. Hoped with centennial, simcoe and amarillo. Thinking it should be good.

If you're is southeast Wisconsin my charge would be half a case of whatever is being bottled 😊

I made a near spotted cow and a rye pale ale for 50 bucks this weekend. Granted I had the yeast for both and the hops for the rye pa.
 
Barleywine going into secondary, one gallon is going to get oaked with some spirals that were bourbon soaked like 3yrs ago and never used up.

Woof. Spent Saturday taking down a big ol' white pine tree (30-something inches wide at the stump), was totally beat by the end of the day. Then at 5:30 this morning the Spousal Unit couldn't shut off her *&#^%$@! alarm clock...and I couldn't get back to sleep.

&%@$! :drunk:

Still managed to drag my a$$ around today to knock out a wheat and a blonde.

Should sleep well tonight...

Cheers! :mug:
 
Something called " a little too quiet" woke me up this morning at 5:34AM. And of course the three beers I had the night before had my bladder reaching critical mass. By the time I Bleed my lizard, I figured I might as well stay up. Was tired & soar from moving truck duty yesterday & thought sure I'd sleep in. Nope. But at least I got more work done in the man cave/brewery today.

The blonde looks like a wheat, and the wheat looks like a stout. For real?

That was a big tree. Sounds like the chainsaw was going for quite some time!

Yeah, for real. Ambient basement lighting from left of scene, and the camera flash didn't help.
Both batches looked pretty much the same in good light before moving them to the ferm fridge, and BS says they're both 6° SRM.

That was a big tree. Sounds like the chainsaw was going for quite some time!

That old pine was a ~90' tall, heavily leaning bastid that took the whole day to disassemble.
I had to put the 20" bar on the saw to buck the bottom third - and trim the stump so it won't cost me both nuts for the grinding service charge :eek:

Had to be done. It was looking like a good summer t-storm would finally uproot it and drop it across the roadway, and that's never a good thing.
Tree companies wanted an average of $1200 to take it down.
Me and my Durango did it for a hella lot less...

Cheers!
