wife commented tonight, "you've been brewing a lot lately. are you really drinking that much?"

guess she's not counting.

brewing again in next few days once this pils finishes. grain is already weighed out for a marzen.
 
I’m brewing a lot too - it’s to lay in a supply for winter while the weather is still good.

Got a fall favorite brewing right now - the Common Room ESB.

Tell her you give out bunchs to friends. Works for me. But then she looks at my belly.....[emoji19]

Working up the energy for a Cherry Quad. Dubbel is ready to keg. Ill use that yeast cake...Wyeast 3787 Trappist. Love that yeast!
 
Getting together 6 friends on 3 different systems to do a "******* Brewday". Everyone is going to take home 2.5 gallons of a milk stout base to do something fun with!
 
Today is the day I get back at it. I still don’t know what I’m brewing. I do know it will use the last (5lbs) of my blueberries.
 
Brewed a German Hefeweizen today. Did a hybrid step mash and pulled a single thick decoction. Pitched the yeast at 5:02 pm, checked the fermenter at 7:00 pm and it's already bubbling. Can't wait to try this one and see if decoction made a difference. I am on a pursuit of the perfect "Hef" and I get very close but always think I can do just a little better, thus the decoction this time. Kinda like trying to spot Big Foot, or seeing the Loc Ness Monster. The perfect Hef is out there! Wish me luck!

Helped my brewpub boss knock out both a 1bbl and 2bbl batch today in 8 hours (a record for us), and got paid with a full bag of two row and enough special roast to do my Fat Bastard tomorrow. Aiming for at least 1.090 going into the fermenter to have something super strong for chilly fall evenings. Seriously considering bottling this batch because if it's in a keg, it goes fast (and so do I, straight to sleep). Also scored a brand spanking new diaphragm pump for kegging, just need to get it wired up.
 
Brewing a dunkelweizen. First time trying this style. Got the inspiration from the Zymurgy Sept/Oct 2018 article by Amahl Turczyn.

Fermentation was off to a start within 8 hours of pitching the yeast without a starter. Below is the current temperature profile. 10 deg delta in chamber vs beer! This yeast has always been very exothermic for me.

Brewed a real nice IPA that I’m gonna scent with orange peel:

5# 2-row
4# marris otter
1# wheat malt
6oz dingelmans Cara45
10oz carapils

Hops:
Centennial
Amarillo
Citra

Dry hop:
El dorado, mosaic, Citra, Amarillo, and orange peel soaked in vodka

Yeast:
2nd generation wyeast 1056 (this starter was crazy)

Og: 1.061

Fermentation temp: 64 degrees

Also just kegged a beautiful Hefeweizen using safale-W06. Gonna brew a cream ale soon. I have heard kolsch yeast is the way to go, does anyone have other suggestions? Also how do we feel about flaked corn?
 
Last weekend I brewed Rauchweizen (2.5kg Pilsner malt, 0.5kg Steinbach Oak smoked malt, 3kg wheat malt, 30 grams Lubelski - Polish low AA hop, dry weizen yeast).
The yeast went out the fermenter after about 15 hours of fermentation, thank God I used a blow-off tube :D From the FFT jar there is a delicious smoked aroma <3
 
This weekend I am going to try my hand at making 1 gallon of lime "Hard Water" based on a thread on here. If it passes my ladies' taste test, maybe I'll make a full 5 gallons. But after my first shot at a NEIPA which will likely be next weekend.

Was that the one with the corn syrup?
 
Going to go for a hemp ale/ipa style thats dry like a brut ipa.
Thinking about Munich and Vienna as specialty malts and amirrillo or cascade for hop additions and some hemp added at the end of boil for hemmpy taste.
Flagship yeast by imperial, been using it on the last few brews and really liking it.
 
Was thinking of brewing my Black IPA this weekend, then thought maybe I'd do a late Marzen but then I read the Brut IPA thread on here and kind of want to try one of those. I've only ever tasted one so I'm pretty intrigued.
 
Why wait for the weekend?

Another marzen tonight. Glycol busy taking batch down to pitch temps now.

Planning an imperial stout, doing gavins pils rendition this weekend (first lager) and after this cream ale finishes doing a farmhouse
 
Tomorrow I'm gonna modify a Black IPA kit to make it a NEIPA...add some oats, some wheat, and adjust and add to the hops bill. "Black and Juicy"... wish me luck! Cheers!
