Brewing my house ale Monday. Will get all the prep work done Sunday so all I have to do is fire the burners and mash in. Been a busy 5 weeks of canning and getting my fuel for the corn/pellet stove in storage. I could do one heck of a corn mash with 7k pounds of corn!

Brewed my first stout. 2nd Crack Coffee stout. Went off with only one hitch. Had to replace propane tank as I was getting the wort up to boil. Other then that, it was a great day to brew.
 
Last brew on my old rendneck eBiaB rig...stripped her for parts. Got a Tarrytown Rusty Brown Ale out of it before I raided the carcass...to rebuild it in a larger vessel.
 
Slayed a barleywine today. 20# 2-row, 2# munich. 3 hour boil, OG 1.110.

Bittered with nugget, Northern Brewer @ 20. 2oz each Northern Brewer, Citra, Equinox @ flameout with 30 minute whirlpool.
 
This weekend is Learn to Brew day, so I'll likely be trying to brew something for demonstration. I half planned an Oak Bourbon IIPA, but I really feel as though I should be brewing something else first. Just can't think of it. So I guess I better get my Beersmith out and get planning that BA-IPA
 
I had planned to do a schwartzbier on Thanksgiving weekend but, know what? Screw it. It's gonna be mid 60s this weekend and the Packers have a 3:30 game, so I'm gonna do it Sunday.
 
I have my Pelican Pond Pilsner on tap that is very yummy and I will be sad to see it go so I am going to make it again this weekend so it will be ready when the current keg kicks it.:rockin:
 
I'm brewing up 10 gallons of Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin Ale tomorrow. I found the recipe here and doubled it.

I wasn't paying attention and only bought 1 pack of yeast today. It's probably too late to get a yeast starter going for a noon start time.

- D

14+ hours is plenty for a vitality starter. You would have been fine. I usually start mine about 18 hours before pitch.
 
Planning to brew two beers this weekend. One will be my first ESB attempt, intended to be a Christmas gift for my mom's husband. This will be the fourth year I've brewed for him; I usually make him a clone of GLB's Canuck but wanted to change it up this year. The other batch will be a blonde ale infused with Cranberry-Hibiscus tea, similar to one I've made a couple times with blueberry tea. Just thought I'd tweak it a little for the holiday season :)
 
Just about to mash in on 5 gallons of an APA. Switching up my usual grain bill a little bit and going with all Nugget hops. Should be tasty.

I just picked up a lb of nugget .If your apa turns out good please share the recipe with me.
 
Did my 2nd all grain batch today.
All centennial IPA
My brewhouse efficiency is at 50%
I guess i made an all centennial APA.

Hit my mash temps, so at least i got that going for me.
Which is nice.

Now that i know what my brewhouse efficiency is, i am going to do a couple of batches to validate that - then i will try to get better
 
Scored 6 gallons of fresh pressed cider today, OG at 1.060 should be potent. Gonna break one gallon off and do a cyser, the rest will be traditional new world cider. My temperature control is at the mercy of Mother Nature and this fall has been odd here, ranging from 30 to 80 degrees F. I wish I had room for a brew fridge.
 
Adding some depth to the pipeline, did the Heady Topper clone today.
Pretty much nailed all my numbers and hit the predicted OG on the nose.
With all the FO and WP hops the house smells amazing!

Cheers! :mug:
 
Good brewday today. Got my winter Double IPA Rumble into the fermenter. Should be a kinder gentler Rumble this year at around 8%. Last year it got away from me and ended up at 9.2%. It was a delicious Pliny clone but dangerous.
 
Did a common mash at a local brewery with the brew club on Saturday (Learn to Home Brew Day). We drew numbers of who would get the runnings out of the mash tun first, second, etc... What a great time!
I went for an IPA with Bravo as my bittering hops and Citra, Amarillo and Falconers Flight as my late additions. I'll probably dry hop with them too!
OG came in at 1.091!!!! [emoji51] Was very surprised when I read the hydrometer and checked it more than twice. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
