Have two brews lined up but can't decide which to brew. One is a golden promise/mosaic smash, the other is a citra pale ale. Decisions decisions....
 
After doing an inventory about all I can brew this weekend is a kinda light stout; unless the husband wants to go play golf tomorrow, and I counter by saying (in my best wife voice) okay if you get to play golf I get to buy grain. Will still do a stout but it will be a heavy one if that works. Just need a bag of two row, some flaked oats, and some more chocolate malt, and exchange the propane. Bet a pint I get away with it, he loves stouts.
 
Might make an oatmeal brown ale I've been working on if the weather its halfway decent.

That will make 4 beers in 4 weeks. Four me, that's a record!!

Setting up for brewing a Blonde Ale tomorrow. Getting ingredients weighed out tonight so I can hopefully have a quick start in the morning. Hopefully a uneventful brew day.

He's not gonna play golf but DID order himself a new practice net for the yard...so I still win. Going to place my order in the morning!
 
got a 10lb bag of mixed grains from AIH, just mashed in and looks like it will be a dark beer experiment.
not sure what i am going to do with it yet. I knew going into it this would be a work in progress and hoping some great/good beer will be the end product, fingers crossed.
 
Hello everyone. I made a small 15 Litre batch of Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Since my primary fermenter is still occupied, I'm using a water bottle. Got efficiency of 75%. OG: 1.0611. Brewersfriend prediction: 1.062. Malts were home made except for DME & Chocolate malts.
Grain bill included Roasted barley, pale ale barley, caramel malt. Also added 500gm of brown sugar. Hops: EKG, 30 min edition of 2 oz. Smelled and tasted nice before putting in the fermenter.

Making 4.2 gallons of Doppelbock to be fermented under 13psi that will become Eisbock. It will not be ready until 2021. OG=1.091 and shooting for FG=1.022 with a goal of 9.9% using WLP830. Required just shy of 21 pounds of grain. IBU and SRM both 25. Magnum and Hallertau Mittelfruh with IBU:OG=0.275 (only 1.14oz for bittering; 0.3oz for aroma). Should have dark fruit and raisin, chocolate, some toasty aroma and light caramel. A slight tweak to my previous Doppelbock -> Eisbock. Very dangerous as the ABV is hidden nicely without being cloying.
 
Wasn't planning on it, but I finally got around to making my Belgian Tripel. I think I made the starter about three weeks ago.

Brewed up another batch of WF lager this morning, same recipe as last time; pilsner, Munich, carapils, with Sterling for bittering and Hallertau Mittelfruh & Blanc for late additions. Last one was beyond tasty. Will be interesting to see how the Lallemand Diamond Lager yeast does on the second pitch; it started working about 20 minutes after coming out of the fridge so it's ready to rock & roll. Five hours post-pitch have positive pressure in the airlock, and a nice pretty thin foam starting to form. Pipeline is pretty full so this one can sit for a while.
 
I made my first yeast starter for my yeast bank. Did a white labs WLP 300 with 2.5L starter and jesus its been crashing for about 12 hours and its a boatload of yeast at the bottom. First of many I hope.

I've read so much about this beer but never had an opportunity to drink it. Hope this turns out well. I need to brew it too, it's on my to do list now.
 
Made 5 gallons of oatmeal brown yesterday.

Did a no chill, put it in the chamber, and pitched this morning.

I now officially have no more room to brew anything until I start drinking more.
I've got the same problem; 3 almost-full kegs in the kegerator, one beer ready to keg, and another one in the ferment fridge. Wanted to brew next weekend when my latest hop order gets here but being noble and holding off...for now.
 
Not the weekend, but I'm brewing a chocolate oatmeal stout, inspired by the deliciousness of McVitie's dark chocolate hobnobs.
