I am trying to kill my NEIPA keg and brew one tomorrow since I got some Galaxy but if I cannot kill her I will brew a semi hoppy blonde (wai-iti) and the Citra single hop kit I got on Amazon dirt cheap from moorebeer

First brew day tomorrow with 2 burners, hoping to save a lot of time and hit a local brewery when I am done
 
Making 10 gallons of Saison tomorrow, using (2) 5 gal Carboys since I'm heating instead of cooling. One will be WY3726 Farmhouse Ale, one WY3711 French Saison. Looking forward to tasting these side by side to evaluate yeast impacts. I'm a'scared of the "Ferment at 90 Degrees" advice, so will likely hold at start at 70 and gradually bump up to 75-77.
 
day tripper do you do the hop additions to the tenth of a gram (like I did) or do you simplify it? I loved the 5 gallon batch I did but thought rounding up or down might make it less tedious to measure out. Sunday I'm doing the Wry Smile IPA from Denny...only the second clone I've done...Juicy Bits was the first :).
 
Just mashed in and weighed hops.
First brew in 6 months as life has been out of control.

Oh, I totally simplified the hop additions because the clone recipe is a bit nuts :)

I do ten gallon batches, skip the FWH (because frankly it's voodoo) and use 1 ounce of Chinook at 60 instead (because why waste citra/el dorado/mosaic on bittering?)
Then I do 2 ounces of citra/el dorado/mosaic at 5, another 2 ounces of each for whirlpooling at 160°F for 20 minutes plus chill-down time (probably another 20 minutes). Then 2 ounces of each for bio-hops, then four days later another 2 ounces of each for four days. Two days crash cooling and it's into kegs...

Cheers!

I am just finishing up the boil on a chocolate stout. Doesn’t exactly scream summer but my last two brews were lagers so I am set nicely. I look forward to this being done quickly, waiting on the lagers to finish up is painful.

If you want quickness a NEIPA or a Saison can be had very quick at full potential

I find a stout is better matured

Chocolate is always nice
 
Grain milled last night for an IPA tomorrow, using the last of the Mosaic for flavor/aroma/dry hop, and bittered with Cascade. With the warmer weather, going to change up the chilling procedure by using the plate chiller until it gets down to 90, then switching the hoses to the IC buried in ice water. Also going to keg the Mosaic Pils brewed 2 weeks ago, that tastes absolutely fantastic.
 
Friend of my brothers came over to make some whisky (yes, perfectly legal hereabouts). He had 12kg of grain so we set aside 3.5kg for BIAB and crammed the rest in the grainfather. BIAB went fine but the grainfather was very slow to sparge. 35L of wort, no idea how it will come out, learning experience for both of us.
 
i've been cheating on brew days, and making cider recently....but all 6 of my kegs are full now, so i'm going to brew some beer tomorrow...

(been damn near a year since i've had 6 full kegs! i'm happy again! :))
 
It's a great recipe, clone-wise. This will be my third 10 gallon batch of it - it rivals Julius for going fast here! :D

Cheers!
Funny - Julius clone is the batch I brewed following the Juicy Bits, it's now on the 2nd keg and going fast.
 
I’m gonna brew a margarita Gose tomorrow. I quit brewing 2 1/2 years ago when diagnosed as type II diabetic. I’ve missed it (although I wasn’t a frequent brewer then, still a newbie ). Blood sugars are under control, I drink Michelob ultra now and no blood sugar issues so I’m gonna play this weekend and brew a hopefully moderate low carb beer.
