Made room for a pale ale with some last year's hops. So brewing tomorrow and already measured out the additions...Would love to hear how a SMaSH MO/El Dorado turns out...
 
Practicing social distancing today. Brewing some Smoke 7 (a Tank 7 homage with smoked wheat).

Brewed an APA yesterday using some 'Mecca grade' pale malt that the brulosophy crew has been talking up. I'll know in a month if it was worth the hefty premium.
I was thinking of brewing something early this morning and came face to face with an almost existential crisis: I was out of Vienna malt! The horror!
I made a couple of gallons of chili instead.
 
just don't eat! just posted to w3hat are you listening to now, funny this came on afterwards while i was reading this...





and i can only fit 30 gallons in my fridge, so you're the bomb! when i run out, wish i had you on speed dial, lol

Well my wife doesn't eat much and hardly drinks anymore so this should last me. Unless my brew buddy comes over.

Brewed a scotch ale yesterday and it is happily fermenting along in the brewing closet. Dried out the grains and made some loaves of bread with them today. Also started soaking some oak chips in scotch and plan to throw them into the ale once it has finished primary fermentation in a couple days.
 
Brewing 10 gls of belgian blonde ale 10lbs belg pils 10 lbs mars otter 4lbs munich 1lb victory 2lbs corn sugar 4oz's of hallertau 2 ozs of saaz hops. Imperial rustic yeast. come out to 7.4 abv 25 ibu. great ale I have a batch in the fermenter right now. Bottle this weekend after two weeks of fermentation.
 
I've got three recipes lines up for this weekend, a couple of IPAs and a dampfbier.

But first things first, I need to distill a bunch of 'survival' water; I've got three 7 gallon fermenters full of dirty, brown, previously sweet water that has about 12% of some sort of contaminant in it. I'll strip all that down and then get on with the brewing.

This recipe sure sounds tasty! Thanks for sharing!!
 
Excited to try my new recirc/vorlauf setup this weekend. Switched over from a fixed-height copper manifold I had made because I feel like the hot side aeration has been reducing the “pop” of my beers. Gonna start a kettle sour since work-from-home makes it easy to finish up the brew whenever the pH is right.

That is a sweet looking setup, looking forward to your results WRT HSA.
 
Just popped at home during work day to quickly grind malts for tonight. Didn't check and of course my corona mill settings had changed a bit and what came out was pretty flour-ish (or might have been that I went at it at full steam with the drill) so who knows how it comes out. Maris otter, golden promise, crystal 400, DRC and special B.
 
Brewing a Golden Strong Ale this weekend with the ingredients I have on hand. I’m taking a couple days vacation in conjunction with this weekend. So, maybe I’ll brew twice. I have enough 2-row as a base for two different batches. For specialties and adjuncts it looks like I’ve got some chocolate, flaked oats, flaked rye, and plenty of table sugar. I’m open for ideas on the second batch.

Happy brewing!
