Irish red - then once kegged I made a Porter and used the carboy with the yeast cake in it for an Irish Porter?
 
I am torn between a milk chocolate stout (kind of a left over grain recipe) and a light rye-ale I've been craving for summer. It'll be my first brew with my own wort chiller. Super excited.
 
I brewed a bit for the occasion:
Vienna lager
Green Classic American Pilsner
Dry Irish Stout with a pint of soured stout in at boil
Toasted wheat pale ale

Should be a good day. I brewed in advance so it is all ready to go. Now the hard part is not drinking it before the party.
 
I made a few last year that i still have for this year a good irish cream stout,irish red,irish blonde (loved them all)and i just made an irish amber(probably more british really)which should be good to go by next month since it has just been bottled.Was gonna make a dry irish stout but eh i have a certain yeast and hop agenda that may not fit in with this time frame, could though if i think about it. Im going to have to drink one of each on patty's day.

Love irish cream stout! By far my favorite home brew. Enjoy
 
It will be a sad day. I wasn't able to brew my Extra Stout or Irish Red thanks to having to find a new place to live at the last minute. However, I will still probably have a party and good time. I will have to make up for it next year. I still hope to at least brew Monolith RIS on St. Patrick's Day. On the bright side, this new house is sooo much better for brewing than my last. I have a huge brewing room now.
 
I really wanted to make a stout or a red, but I just wasn't able to make that happen. I will have to settle for my hoppy brown ale that should be ready this weekend and my heffewiezen that should be ready then too.
 
I am brewing up a green beer for St. Paddy's day.....a green chile beer that is!! Best part is that I get to serve samples at a local restaurant/bar!!
 
I've got an Oatmeal Porter in bottles that should be carbed up soon, and a dark Vienna Lager that should be good to go by then.

I was hoping to have a keg of hefeweizen but I f*cked up and accidentally made it too damn delicious. There's only about a gallon left at the moment :) [50/50 Wheat/Munich, WLP 380]
 
My Chocolate Oatmeal Stout won't be ready:(...Wait...I still have plenty of my Smoked Wee Heavy and my Chocolate Chipotle Porter will be jjust right.:rockin:
 
I made a batch of Irish Red that I purposely went light on the color to dye it green, though i added too much peated malt (never used it before) and it has a real smokey aroma and flavor, not my best batch. Good thing I also have a vienna amber on tap and a citrus IPA waiting for the party so if no one likes the Irish I can toss the IPA in
 
Sraid Dhasian batch number one went into secondary last night, and batch number two got pitched onto the yeast cake. Batch one tastes like cold espresso, with a lot of character, and I've got a cold so I bet it tastes even better when you can smell it!

Excited to get this one in the keg.
 
Just picked up some vanilla beans to make my own version of vanilla cream stout. Wont be ready in time but have the oatmeal stout in the secondary should be ready soon.
 
I am rushing 5 gal of my "Ode to a Reese's Cup" Stout. Letting the other 5 gal ferment as usual.
 
I'm anxious to try v2 of my sunset gold apa with the Ahtanum & Sterling hops. rich hop smells from the airlock. Tomorrow we'll know finally!:tank:
 
I'm gonna brew a dry irish stout. 2.5 gal batch BIAB method. It'll be my third BIAB brew but first time brewing outside (on my balcony) using a 7 gal turkey fryer pot + burner. Got the grains a few days ago and was gonna brew but remembered that Saturday was St. Patty's day so I felt obligated to wait. Perle 2-row, roasted barley and flaked barley. Also going with 3% Acidulated Malt because I read it can produce similar effects as adding soured beer (like Guinness does). Going with EK Goldings and Wyeast Irish Ale yeast, so ya I'm hoping for a nice traditional irish stout.
 
my wife doesn't believe i'm irish. i poohed AND peed in my pants for a holiday. what more can i do???
 
I was gonna say,instead of drinking my irish beers,i was just going to drink like an irish instead..
 
Disappear for a few days, show up drunk with grass between your teeth and really, really dirty fingernails. And a black eye (just whack your nose against a door jamb, works trust me). This is the way.
that seems like a very elaborate plan...
ps - you had me at dirty fingernails....
