Had planned to somehow squeeze in a Coffee Stout in preparation for Fall. Then I found out the Wife will be away all weekend and I'll be hanging with the kiddos. I don't boil wort around kiddos...
 
Picked up all the grain from my local brew shop today to do a 5 gallon Imperial Stout. First time doing an imperial.
 
I really gotta get busy brewing again this weekend. Home reno projects took over life lol. Finishing off the dregs of my last Sierra Nevada Pale Ale keg... gonna miss it. Good news is my beer stuff guy just put 14 gal conicals on sale! Im gunna get in trouble. But cheers, mmm

Gonna brew 10 gallons of a nice German Hefeweizen this Saturday. It's still so hot here, I need something smooth and refreshing after working in the yard!
 
I got 2 batches in this week.
A nice smothered drinking Belgium pale and a nice big Christmas ale, I call Krampus. It is based on a kit from NB called Festivus.
 
The APA I brewed yesterday - single handed (truly single handed as I'm a one armed brewer), no help from the SWMO on this brew - is just starting to bubble away in the fermenter. Loving my eBIAB rig!

The Joe IPA I did last Friday has really slowed down, hoping when I heat up the ferment chamber in a couple of days it comes back to life as it is way cloudy and yeasty...
 
10 gallon batch of my Echo Ale(named after the town I live in!) setup and ready to brew when I get up today. Just need to weigh the water additions and good to go! Water staged in the kettles(lets me check for leaks too! One pot has a seep at the handle, it is a Bayou...), barley is crushed...
 
Beautiful morning on the Oregon coast to brew a coconut porter! We moved in April from North Carolina, then spent 5 months in vacation rentals while house stuff straightened out. Kegged my first batch in almost a year this morning, the porter is the second. So nice to be back!

How are you doing the coconut?
 
How are you doing the coconut?


Put half a pound in the mash, then will toast a pound, put it in a nylon bag and age in the keg. The post boil sample had a subtle coconut flavor to it. I don't really care about head retention with this brew, and I expect the oils will alter it. First time brewing with coconut, and it's a mix of different techniques I've seen on HBT.
 
Trying the 3 Floyds Alpha King clone from the 2004 July/August Zymurgy issue. Saw it referenced on the AHA website and it sounded good. IBU's come in a little high (70's) according to Beersmith but should still be OK.

Haven't brewed in quite a while, due to some family obligations and a crazy work schedule. I'm a little rusty, but really looking forward to some quiet brew time tomorrow morning. I'm putting together a "Leftoverture" batch from remaining grains, which should make me a nice robust American porter.

Keep us posted. ABGB Superliner Clone, but better. More mouthfeel and flavor.

The can of death by coconut I'm drinking was canned 11/2/15. I've had a six pack sitting in my closet since last year. Still good but the coconut is fading.
 
Brewed up 10 gallons of caribou slobber this morning. Been too long since I've had it on tap.
 
Bee Cave Brewery Robust Porter. Awesome stuff. About 45 minutes into the boil, after several home brews, I thought it would be great fun to add 8oz Hersheys Cocoa. Now I guess at the end of fermention, I'll have to throw in a pack of cocao nibs.
 
I did brew that Hefeweizen yesterday. What a smooth enjoyable brew day it was. My youngest son came home yesterday, as my other two sons are joining him today with the rest of the family to celebrate my birthday today. Anyway he helped and learned about the brewing process and it was a great day. :mug:
