Working on a Saison (Std strength) with WLP546 (Marañón Canyon Wild Cacao) and Cashmere. The variable is the WLP546 having never used it before.
 
Hey folks,
This weekend started my first cider brew. 5 gallons treetop pressed juice
3 tspns yeast nutrient
And a champagne yeast.
It's bubbling just fine. I read conflicting things online though about the fermentation time. Some say it'll be done in 1-2 weeks, some say a couple of months. What say you, the message board heads? Also what kind of alcohol levels can i expect? Thank you!
 
A follow-up to this Saison Adventure from last weekend: these...

Pitched around 6pm last Friday, the B51 hit 1.003 FG by Monday afternoon, the B64 arrived at the same gravity today. Yikes!

Cheers!
 
I only have one beer on tap!!! How am I going to get through the holiday weekend!

Well, tomorrow I will be brewing the Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado IPA. In 2 weeks will be firing up a Cashmere Saison.
 
Brewed a batch of English bitter tonight; the one I was supposed to do last weekend. :rolleyes: Saturdays seldom seem to work, so I thought I'd see if Friday night did (and it does, barely, if I grind the malt the night before)
 
In the middle of a mash right now on this fine Memorial Day weekend! Brewing my Belgian Wit recipe with fresh orange peel and Indian coriander seeds. I also throw in some fresh crushed pepper corns and it is delish! Happy Memorial Day to everyone!

I am dusting off the Grainfather and plan to run a 2-Hearted clone this weekend. It's been a while so I need to refresh on the process and recipe mods needed to run in the GF. Hmmm...clearly I need to brew more often!!
 
Just pitched the yeast into my first attempt at a kettle sour made with Amarillo hops. What went into the fermenter already tastes amazing. I can hardly wait to see how this turn out!
 
This morning I started on a moderately odd experiment; a dark-ish, ordinary bitter with a lot of oats in it. Just after dough-in I was looking at it, thinking it looked pretty strange, when I realised I had forgotten to crush the grain. I guess it is going to be even more experimental than I had intended.

Today I decided to brew an American IPA (clear/ Left Coast style).
Then filled some kegs with Stout while listening to Country music and drinking beer.

Thanks to the men and women who protect our country every day and to those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom in America. God Bless! [emoji631]

Long weekend today, crew gets paid day off, I get a 3 day weekend.

Brewed today instead of usual sunday, another whatever lager:

Probably fit into the Pre Prohibition lager category, recipe wise, if anyone cares(I don't)

16# pils malt
2# rye malt
1# white wheat malt
1# flaked corn.
(1# rice hulls)

Mash in temp 6.75 gal to temp of 148F, 1 hour

Etc.....

Slow fly sparge w 190F(start temp, then element off) water, 9.25 gal

1 oz Azacca first wort,
1 oz pearl 30 min boil
.5 (leaf) cascade, post whirlpool transfer step.

Cooled & pump to conical in cellar, O2, pitch 2 W34/70 (one would have worked, it is already working). Running on the high side, temp wise, cellar is 58.2F, so the working wort will probably be in low 60sF.

Probably will finally be last lager (yeast used) for the season.

11.5 gallons to cellar SG 1.061

Brewed every weekend since mid March. Once the lagers are kegged, will dissemble valves and sanitize everything before I switch to ale yeast.
 
Brewed a Dunkel on Friday and kegged a Czech Dark on Saturday. Now have two Czech Darks on tap and need to decide which is the better one to send to NHC finals.

Grandfather makes for a very slow heat and boil!!
 
brewing a kölsch wort but going to try a voss kveik yeast, has any of you guys done this before?
I did this recently, actually. Pils with a touch of white wheat and munich, Voss kveik, and all Loral hops - bittering, 15 minutes and 5 minutes. Very nice, drinkable beer, but not quite as kolsch like as I would've liked. I would probably change the bittering hop to something like Horizon. Dont think I like Loral as a bittering hop.
