I wish I was brewing. My Zurich lager yeast needs to hurry up so I can use the fridge for my Pilsner smash.
 
Going to brew my Cream Ale recipe tomorrow with a first time use of the WL080 cream ale blend of yeast. I've read a lot a good things about this yeast so I'm kind of excited to try it!
Next in line is going to be my first attempt at a Porter.
 
Brewed a Mystery Ale today. I'm not really sure what grains went into it, as I was cleaning out some miscellaneous bags from the cabinet and figured I'd use them before they were useless, as they've probably been in there at least 4 months. I >think< it was roughly:

½lb Flaked Oats
½lb Victory
½lb Crystal 120
½lb Belgian Wheat
1½lb 2-row
¼lb Amber Belgian Candi Sugar at 225-263°
1lb Corn sugar @ flameout

All I really know for sure is that it totaled out to 3lb 8.5oz of grains, plus the corn sugar and candi sugar. I first wort hopped with ½oz Liberty at 5.8% AA and ¼oz Amarillo at 8% AA, and added ½oz Citra at 7.5% AA at 5 minutes, and the plan is to double dry hop with Citra and Amarillo. Final volume was a shade over 2½ gallons, and I added half a packet of US-05. It's not really an experiment so much as just having fun, since my hydrometer is broken and I have no clue what most of the ingredients are. It made me feel like I usually do when I cook, because I do that the same way. FEEL the recipe, and just add a bit of this, and a dash of that. The result could be awesome, or it could be an abject failure. Whatever it is, dammit, I had FUN making it!

I love it. The fun factor is what it's all about! Well, and the beer :mug:
 
making a leffe blond clone tomorrow, mostly to get enough 530 to harvest for a few belgian tripels and quads later on :D

The pipeline is full with both drinking, aging and christmas present beers, concidering a fourth fermenter.....
 
Tomorrow, going to brew a Timothy Taylor Landlord clone from Camra's Brew Your Own British Real Ale by Graham Wheeler.
 
Brewed up a hoppy wheat beer and my annual home-grown-Centennial SMaSH today.

Building up the pipeline again after a lazy summer...

Cheers! :mug:
 
I'll be taking a stab at Biermuncher's SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde tomorrow. If it's as good as his Centennial Blonde I'll be delighted. :)
 
Brewed Northern Brewer's brunch stout yesterday, the extract kit. Trying to figure out how to make it taste like founders breakfast stout in the secondary...
 
Made up a recipe for "There Gose Sea Breeze" that I'm going to try to get done tomorrow. It's going to have hibiscus (easier to deal with that cranberries), vodka soaked grapefruit zest, Saaz hops, coriander, and sea salt. I have all day Sunday, but I need sleep and have to do a lot of cleaning, preparation, trip to store, and LHBS. I hope I can get it done and ready for Thanksgiving trip to the beach.
 
I planned on brewing Denny Conns Wry Smile Rye IPA but the weather is horrible today- so gonna have to put off until next Friday. Now it will be ready for turkey day.
 
Finally getting around to re-brewing my Oatmeal Stout, should be a good drinker once the temperature drops.
 
Kegged DIPA Friday, bottle 2nd runnings APA today, brewing modified version of DIPA next weekend with several total noobs who want to learn

If this beer turns out well, it'll be in spite of me. Holy mash-mishaps Batman!

I hit the triple crown of missed mash temp (then re-missed trying to adjust it with more water), manifold falling apart under the grain and a stuck sparge.

You give a man a beer, and he will come back for more.
You teach a man how to brew beer, and he will bring some over for you to try.

Finally got all my pre-brew chores and errands done. Just mashed in on my "There Gose Sea Breeze". 60 minutes, then another 45 with acidulated malt. Then the usual boil. Luckily, it's not too hot today and overcast, but not raining. It will take awhile, but shouldn't be uncomfortable.
