Brewing a 1 gallon batch of Raspberry Golden Ale and moving my Grapefruit IPA to secondary this weekend. Can't wait! [emoji481]
 
Have stuff on hand to brew the following:

Cream Ale
Blonde Ale
Oatmeal Stout
IPA
ESB

Aiming to do one Saturday, and one Monday. We'll see if that actually happens.
 
Spinning up some ranched english ale yeasts for a "Zombie Dust Meets NEIPA" brew on Saturday...

Cheers!
 
I want to but am running out of bottles so I may sit this one out. My son turns 22 on 6-19, so if he wants a party I will probably brew a batch for he and his posse.

I really, really want to brew though.
 
Trying the same Deshcutes Fresh Squeezed IPA again, this time aiming to get close to the target OG (target: 1.069, actual: 1.050). If you don't get it right, try again, right? :D
 
My first bottling session since getting kegs 9 months ago. My 9.5% Belgium Tripel.
This time i had got dome fast racks and a stainless bottling wand.

I will definitly get some more fastracks as its easier to sanitise a batch of bottles before filling than alternating between. The tasks for each bottle.

The stainless bottling wand is nice but i will shorten the connecting hose.

Now a wait to find out if I have any bottle bombs as I'm carbonating higher than normal beer.

Bottling a Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA. Through in a token 14 grams of my homegrown Centennial hops, first of the season. I live in College Station, TX, early growing season. Waiting for the Chinook, Cascade, Columbus, and Willamette.
 
Did my first ever NEIPA this morning and hoping it turns out as hazy, juicy and delicious as I expect. We shall see, but all looks good so far....

Strong wind warning today... so its Porter on the stove top instead of the gas burner outside.

Not brewing this weekend, but the blonde ale brewed 2 weeks ago looks ready to bottle (I think I'll give it a few more days just to make sure) It started out at 1.056, and after one week in the ale pail in my basement (about 65 degrees) I racked it to a carboy and warmed it up to 72. I took the jacket off today and it looks nice and clear. A couple more days in the upper 60's won't hurt.

I have 4 gallons of cider that I'll bottle tomorrow. And the Voss Kveik yeast that I ordered got here today so I might be brewing next weekend -- I really like the idea of pitching at 90 degrees and fermenting with no temperature controls.

All set to brew Da Yoopers House Pale Ale tomorrow. Just noticed that my thermometer is measuring about 7 degrees too cold, so I may need to pick up a new one in the morning.
 
Just put a batch of Bastard kinda-almost-not-quite-clone to bed. Trying for something not so rocket-fuelish this time, SG was 1.059. Life got in the way of my last two batches and they tanked due to unseasonal heat in the PNW, so need this one to straighten up and fly right. Still loving my new plate chiller, even with warmer than usual ground water it went into the fermenter at 75. Sitting in a swamp cooler now waiting for the Notty to do its thang. Enjoying a Fort George City of Dreams APA to celebrate a pretty nice brew day.
 
1st lager keg is about to kick, and just tapped the 2nd. So brewing up another one today. 12lbs of two row, and this one will be bittered with 1oz Warrior, then get some Columbus and Amarillo as late additions for some hoppiness. Yeah I know it's a lager and the hops might fade, but we'll see what happens. Also that's all I've got for hops.
 
Was going to do a pale ale with 1 oz of Target for bittering then 5 Oz of Mosaic as late additions/dry hops, but they raised the price of Mosaic and, whaddya know, they put half pound bags of Simcoe on sale, so I’m brewing this one with 8 Oz of Simcoe.
 
Just finished up a 6 gallon brew of Cascades/Orange Pale Ale its sitting in the Ferm Chamber now....
 
Probably brewing a porter in the comming weekend if my knee isn't too bad although i may just take pain killers and brew anyway even if its annoyed and take the chance it doesn't settle down again for next week.

My kegerator needs another nice sessionable beer in the next few weeks as I'm expecting visitors so I guess a good reason to brew.

The fermentation chamber is empty.
I have all the grains and hops in stock and the recipe is sorted in beersmith so its just a matter of brewing it. Probably be a 10L / 2.5g batch for a small keg. Not an efficient use of time but i want a variety of brews without being seriously overstocked and carrying 10L is less likley to agrevate my knee.

Wound up doing Cream Ale on Saturday, and the ESB on Sunday.
 
Brewed a Kolsch, mixed it up a little with some Sorachi Ace and Nelson Sauvin. Lackadaisical brew day still took under 4 hrs start to finish...I love eBIAB! Unfortunately the LHBS was closed so need to grab yeast tomorrow.
