Going to do a double brew day today.

Batch 1: COVID Quad (Quad as in 4 sugar sources, not really a true belgian quad) - Maris Otter/Mild Malt, D-90, Maple Syrup and Honey. Fermenting w/ Hornindal and will be using Fuggles for bittering. Aiming for about 1.100 OG

Batch 2: OSLOberfest - Mild malt w/ some biscuit, RoastOat and CaraRed. Fermenting with Oslo kveik
 
going to try and squeeze one in this weekend since I don't have any airlocks to sniff at the moment... it gets me a little on edge.
Idk what I'll brew but it'll be somethin' good!
 
Brewed up another batch of the Sabro/Citra yesterday. Bit peeved that someone else out on the interwebs stole my name for this one (Sabrotooth), or maybe came up with it first, but I really love this hop combo. This one is straight two row with no bittering, and late additions that I made up on the fly. Also fermenting on some fresh Notty to see how it does; previous batches have been done on Kveik with great success.

We miss you on the "What are you Drinking Now" thread...post some pics! 🤘

OT... Imperial Stout to build yeast cake for a 18gal batch to age in a 15gal Rye Whiskey barrel with chillies/Coco Nibs/Vanilla. Also starting a Hazy IPA year long experiment. Same base beer with 12 hop variations... should've did this year's ago.

I have exactly ONE cable that my phone will talk to my laptop with..and it's also the only cable that will charge my tablet. Lazy! I'll post some photos soon with my new stout that gets kegged tonight.
 
had to change my brew day since my starter looks dead and dont want to chance it.
my LHBS doesnt carry liquid yeast anymore so i cant run over and buy two pouches.
so going with a Double IPA instead with dry yeast.
cheers
 
Brewing up a batch of House lager today; Holiday ale will be next weekend and complicated, so I wanted to do something today that I can pretty much brew without thinking about it. Also it's tasty. Got lazy yesterday and didn't keg the stout, but I did clean the keg for it and it's now out of the ferment fridge settling down before finally running it into the keg. Oh and I need to test the IPA I did last weekend....note to self, there is NO such thing as too much homebrew....
 
Spur of the moment brew because I’ve been stewing about all my failed attempts to get a clone to taste like Guinness and I’m mad. I’ve read every webpage and article about how it’s done and as far as I’m concerned, and with all the batches I’ve brewed to prove it... nobody knows how! So I’m doing a small batch (2 gallons) of my own imagination and brain storming to see if I can come up with something better. I’ve thrown the traditional wisdom and brewing rules to the wind... F ‘em, I’m doing it my way.

We're rooting for you!
 
Brewed a chocolate oatmeal stout yesterday. Used lager yeast, fermenting under pressure. Using yeast cake from previous batch. Used all home made malt. Made chocolate malt, caramel malt too. All speciality malts were cold steeped and then added to the boil. Here goes:

Did not get my Barke Munich shipment in time to brew this past long weekend, but will be whipping up a Marzen this Friday...yep, a little late for Oktoberfest. :)
 
If FedEx can manage a delivery on time for once, I should get my Old Rasputin clone kit in today. If it does will make starter with some slurry today and brew this weekend.
 
I'm brewing the second iteration of a saison I'm working on. I'm varying the recipes as I go, but reusing the yeast, which is a blend of Wy3724 and Belle Saison. Sort of my own cobbled together version of Saisonstein's Monster. I'll probably make 3 or 4 batches and let them age for at least a couple months. The best saison I've made was amazing at 5 months when I drank the last bottle. I'll be keg conditioning these.
 
Just brewed a rustic table saison, I think it will finish around 4'3% or so, it's been my first step mash as I now have a bigger mash tun that allows me to heat small mashes pretty fast, I thought it would be way more work, let's see what I'm left with once the fermentation is done

Here's a picture of the mash

Was supposed to brew an imperial stout this weekend. Got bored last night and spur of the moment decided to brew it right there and then.
 
Not brewing but racked my first kettle sour onto 2.5 pounds of raspberries. Still debating adding hibiscus at kegging🤔
 
In the middle of a step mash right now on a pumpkin ale that I make every year for Thanksgiving, by request from my family! Beautiful morning on the back lanai here in Florida, as it was in the 60's when I fired up the HLT early this morning. Can't wait for the temp to drop in the 70's (instead of 94 every day) which is hopefully in November. Have a great day everyone!

Brewed a new batch of Barney the Welder. Saved my last bottle of the previous batch to drink while I'm brewing this one.

I'm trying out Omega Hornindal kveik at 85F and see what esters it may produce rather than the US05 I usually use.

Just mashed in batch "#103",, some kind of basic ale I guess; 15# pils, 5# Vienna. Guess I'll hop w cascade & amarillo. Probably the last batch w ale yeast for season, now things are cooling off. Probably should switch to lager today, but there is already good ale yeast cake in fermentor, and I'm feeling lazy.
