Irish Stout starter on the stir plate for tomorrow's brewing. Drained my porter just as three light beers hit the keezer and I need something dark. Hoping to be able to pick up a beer gas tank to go with my recent nitrogen regulator find.
 
Started a WLP510 starter yesterday afternoon, will mill grains tonight, and start mashing at the crack of dawn tomorrow. We're already hitting summer temps in Tucson, so need to finish as early as possible.
 
Brewing an American porter for the Big Brew Day. The malt bill is from a Gordon Strong recipe, and the hops are based on Deschutes Black Butte.
 
Brewed a pale ale today. Had my scale on the wrong setting so my 60 min hop addition ended up 1.6oz instead of 1oz...oops
 
It’s almost the weekend! I brewed a Jalapeño Amber Ale today, inspired by Seatazzz.
Love my pepper beers!

Drink them FAST when they're done. My buddy that I brewed this for found a couple in his fridge this last weekend, and told me they were beyond HOT after sitting a few months, but still tasty (to him, I hate them). I still have a few myself, and the husband (who also likes hot beers) won't touch them after what our friend said.
 
A sorta grodziskie: 2.2 gallons at 1.036. 1.5 lbs. Bavarian wheat dme, 1 lb. oak smoked wheat malt, 4 ozs. red wheat malt, .25 oz. saaz at 3.2%, K-97.

Going to brew up a Belgian Orange Coriander Wit on Sunday. Ordered what I needed from our LHBS today, and will make the trip tomorrow to get it. Brewboss gifted me the wheat I needed, also some BE-256 yeast; never tried this strain before so looking forward to seeing what it does. Per Fermentis it's their former Abbaye yeast and should impart some nice clove/banana into this beer. Next weekend going to do a German pilsner based loosely on Georgetown Brewing's Dreifecta. Husband brought some home and both of us loved it.

I think you'll like the BE 256.
 
I’m brewing the Big Brew AG recipe (6g) with my daughter. YVH had all the hops and the grains are ones I normally keep on hand.
Third brew in as many weeks. I may have to keg condition this along with my Wookey Jack clone that’ll be ready to keg in about 5 days.
 
Did this yesterday: two gallons at 1.036. 1.5 lbs Bavarian wheat dme, 1 lb oak smoked wheat malt, 4 ozs red wheat malt, .25 oz saaz at 3.2%, K-97.

Wait... Is it the weekend? I keep losing track.
Brewed 11gallons APA yesterday. Partial mash. Pils DME, 5# Vienna,Crystal 40. Magnum for bittering, Cascade and Centennial late additions. Was going to do half 04 and half 05 but didn't like the smell of the 05 slurry. Ended up using 34/70.

Use them for some chili batches!
