Just did my first batch of centennial blonde last evening to see what all the hype is about. My wife loves blonde ales. Used a local dark vienna-type malt and 6-row pale instead of 2-row, bagged the crystal malts, and went with 1056 (not a fan of notty)so it will be a little different. Nonetheless, i hit the og (1.041) and followed the hop schedule. Should be tasty.
 
I bought stuff to fill up all 5 of my carboys, so 5-7 days straight of brewing!

1. Cider with Kirkland Juice and Premier Cuvee - done
2. Spiced Pumpkin Porter - done
3. Spiced Pumpkin Ale - just finished
4. American Wheat Ale - friday
5. Kettle Sour Wheat Ale - saturday

tired but still excited
 
Hoping to brew a pumpkin beer, cause im lazy and havent done so yet. I really should be baking the pumpkin right now, instead im really enjoying a quiet, empty house and a few too many SNPA clones
 
Brewing a beer inspired by Maui Brewing Pueo Pale Ale. Only info I have is that they use 2-row, crystal, Munich, Simcoe and Centennial. Should be fun! I haven’t brewed in almost a year so this packaging is new to me.

I think I'm going to brew a kölsch with 90% german pilsner, 10% german pale wheat, and hersbrucker whole leaf hops. Hopefully my stainless hop filter shows up in time.
 
brewing a neipa on saturday, my first attempt at the style. i normally start brewing around 5 am but due to some conflicts, i won't start up until about 2 pm, first time for that.
 
Brewing a chocolate milk stout this chilly morning. I forgot how much longer it takes to heat water when it is only in the 30's
 
Might snow tonight, supposed to brew with the boss tomorrow...so just in case Snowpocalypse 2017 hits tonight doing a surprise IPA this morning. 12 lbs two row, Centennial at FWH, and will use Centennial & Simcoe for flavor & aroma. Will decide later on the dry hop but will be Amarillo or Columbus. Using the IC as a heat exchanger too since it's about 50° in the garage this morning. Smells very much good in here right now!
 
Just brewed a 5 gal batch of Vienna Lager. Did a full boil (60 min.) hops with Hallertauer Mittelfrueh. Smells great as it's cooling.
 
I guess I am. My little girl (8) likes to sleep in the living room on the weekends and watch TV. I told her last night I would be waking her up early today getting into my brew equipment which is currently stacked in a corner of the room. Then I went to bed.

I woke up to this. I have not brewed since May but I have added equipment, like that shiny new 20 gallon Spike kettle. So I am going to brew 10 gallons of our Red Hook ESB clone.

I was going to brew until I stepped wrong with a 40 pound bag of wood pellets on my shoulder and irritated the torn ACL in my right knee... ice/heat for a few days to get it back to only hurting a little instead of so swollen it was hard to get jeans on... doc said at my age they won't repair it, knee replacement when I can't stand to walk on it anymore.
 
Trying hard to. It's really tough trying to find the time when my wife is working three shifts, practically works every weekend, the brewery is in the garage and we got 2+4yr old extremely curious boys who aren't allowed within shouting distance from any of the brewing equipment solely for safety reasons. Thinking about timing it so that I'll be mashing indoors while putting the boys to bed, then when the wifey comes home at 9pm gonna carry the half filled pot, and the wet mash bag in a bucket, to the garage and sparge&boil there. Haven't brewed an AG batch since spring because of this, and the extract kits are starting to taste more or less the same...

Oh, which reminds me I need a gas refill.
 
Brewed an IRS last Saturday; showed an interested co-worker through the process. First big beer done after some minor tweaks to my setup, so no idea where my efficiency would land. Ended up ~62%. Fermentation started very quickly. Can't wait to drink it :)
 
Knocked out 5 gal of NEIPA last night. Trying Wyeast Thames Valley for the first time. Not one of the more popular NEIPA yeasts but that's what was on hand. Anyone have good experience with it, NEIPA or otherwise?
 
Had plans on Saturday that got cancelled, so now I'll be brewing something with a pack of Weihenstephan yeast I picked up on a whim, now I just need a recipe!
 
I am brewing a Belgian DIPA at the moment, using Pilsner, Wheat, Flaked wheat and oats + Fermentis BE-134 pitched together with Brewferm Blanche.

Saturday I will brew a lighter Belgian Pale Ale mixing to yeasts and dry hopping with Mosaic

Sunday, I will be brewing an American DIPA, with Columbus, Citra and Galaxy.

Brewers Haven is a nice little store. Had to stop by there this summer for keg lube & O-rings while we were out there for my daughter's wedding.

Absolute last chance this weekend to do something holiday-ish. Have 14lbs 2 row, 4 lbs Cara 40, and 2 lbs Dark Munich. Going to use some Saaz & Columbus hops I have sitting in the freezer, will also spice the heck out of the fermenter with Pumpkin Pie spice and maybe some extra cloves. I hate the smell of pumpkin (or any squash for that matter) so this is the low-budget version of a Pumpkin Ale. Going to reserve about 2 gallons first runnings to reduce while the boil is going and add at the end for an extra malt kick.
 
DIPA - for Father In Law per his request. Bringing it up to Montreal at Christmas. His favorite beer

hops - Strata features along with Citra and Mosaic.
yeast - A38 Juice
Complex grain bill, but it works quite well in a double - 9.5lb 2-row, 2lb Vienna, 1.25lb red wheat, .75lb flaked oat, .75lb carared.
 
Oyster Stout......my first attempt adding oysters into a dry stout. Brewery in Asheville NC specializes in these beers, and while a stout is not my all time favorite, the oyster addition takes it to a level that made me want to brew one. Went to the effort to get debittered dark malts and Irish Ale yeast.

Yes, they are great! Fair prices and great customer service!

I wish I was brewing this weekend. Maybe next weekend.
