Got the starter going for my mini-batch of CCA, might brew it tonight after the kids hit the sack. Might also bottle the Mulitiple Personality Pale Ale(s) (one mash, 10 different single-hop mini-boils) though that feels like it's gonna be a PITA.

Drinking some Stoudt's Weizen (really good) and some Brooklyn East India (also really good...a rare English-style IPA). Those will probably weaken me enough to get me to dip into my (damn they still need a little more time!) homebrews later tonight.

 

[Drunkensatyr]

LOL I am trying DESPERATELY to not float the 777....there are only 3 or 4 pints left

It's raining here in Austin like a Mutha**&#$*&, so it's drinking time. Enjoying my Stone IPA Clone while marinating some chicken wings and 3 turkey wings just for kicks. I'll be popping those on the Big Green Egg shortly for dinner. Desert will be a dutch oven cobbler down at the barn while we stand watch over the horses so they are not spooked by fireworks.

MY batch of honey wheat is done and is just perfect to drink in this hot weather. I think this weekend I am going to brew a Hefeweizen.

 

[syankey]

I've got 2 Chocolate Stouts in the fridge, 2 Steam Brews, and 2 Old Peculiar Clones that may not be quite ready. I've noticed I've begun to hord my hombrew like an old miser.

I've got a Bass clone Iv'e got to round up enought bottles to bottle this weekend and I've got an Oberon clone in my primary that I have to transfer. Probably brew another Old Speckled Hen clone this weekend.

And if the evening runs too long I've got a decent collection of micro brews in the refrigerator just in case.

Well, the "Kettle Friend" is in the fermenter and every thing's cleaned up.

I could'nt believe my Pap stayed around for the whole thing! He even brought a pork roast he grilled yesterday for sammichs.

Learned 2 very valuable lessons:

1. A brew pot WILL boil over with 20 mins left of a 90 min boil.
2. Don't drop your thermometer in the pot while cooling!

Oh, and the ice water chill method ROCKS!!!!!!!

 

[DeathBrewer]

i'm trying some apfelwein right now

 

[Barley-Davidson]

No brewing today - gotta work

Stout is ready to bottle, but don't think I'm gonna feel like it when I get home. It's raining so probably no grilling tonight, either

Hopefully the fireworks are still on and SWMBO and I can watch them from the front lawn. My American wheat might be ready to drink, but if it's still green I've got some SA Summer Ale and some Tractor Brewing Farmer's Tan Red Ale.

Happy 4th

 

[EdWort]

Ahhh, the rain has let up and I just put these Turkey Wings on to cook on the small egg and I have a batch of chicken wings on the Large Egg.

All while enjoying my first IPA.

The real Stone is on the left and my brew is on the right.

 

[Barley-Davidson]

Egg-cellent

 

[the_Roqk]

No brewing today for me either. It's been raining regularly everyday for about a week now, and still raining now. Waiting on my stir bars to arrive so I can make a mean starter. Got an American Special Amber in the works.

Right now I'm drinking a Steam Beer made this past January (only two bottles left) . Also got some Brown Ale in the fridge waiting to be opened and drained into my gullet. Happy fourth of July everyone!

[feedthebear]

Brewed an Ordinary Bitter late last night. Was was going to brew Stout #3 today but I forgot to buy the grain bag.

 

[Warped04]

I'm not drinking any homebrew, but I'm grilling

It's not much, but it's just me and the Misses.

 

[FireBrewer]

I'm in Michigan visiting the inlaws, ran out to the grocery store and was met by a pleasant suprise: Bell's beers. So I grabbed a 6er of Bell's Porter. And I found out that one of my brother-in-laws cups held two beers. 2 cups down, time to go to bed.

Happy 4th!!!

 

[DeathBrewer]

went to a friends house...sat in the "smoking room" and watched all the illegal fireworks in Oakland. We grilled several different types of chicken (beer-soaked, bbq, and skewers) and I shared some of my home brew. pretty good night!

happy 4th!

 

[mward]

I made some strange chai beer and I think I got HSA and tannins in it. It was experimental all around, I tried some things differently to see how they work. Going into the fermenter it was ... not good. We'll see what happens after the yeast do their trick.

 

[98EXL]

shared HB with my friends, they all liked, grilled our asses off, and then saw MF-ing TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
