After brewing my stout yesterday, just bottled my Apricot IIPA today (small experimental batch from an oops of having too much in the fermenter). Sweet bejeesus... it is freaking unbelievable! Kind of wish I would have done the whole batch that way now. Was a bitch bottling only a gallon of it with all the apricot particles floating around, but I think it's going to be worth it!
 
just bottled my Apricot IIPA today

This sounds totally delicious. I'm in the dIPA mood as I just drank a Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster in my oversized snifter. Apricot would have been a wonderful complement to the already wonderful flavors swirling in my glass.
 
If I have time, I'm going to make an APA from all leftovers:

(3-gallon batch size)
Amount Item Type % or IBU

4.00 lb Light Dry Extract (15.8 EBC) Dry Extract 88.89 %
0.25 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (3.9 EBC) Grain 5.56 %
0.25 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (78.8 EBC) Grain 5.56 %
0.50 oz Amarillo Gold [10.40 %] (60 min) Hops 31.4 IBU
0.50 oz Cascade [6.00 %] (10 min) Hops 6.6 IBU
0.50 oz Amarillo Gold [10.40 %] (5 min) Hops 6.3 IBU
0.50 oz Cascade [6.00 %] (0 min) Hops -
1 Pkgs American Ale (DCL Yeast #Safale US-05) Yeast-Ale

The extract is from an AHS order where I just added it to get above $100 (I figured I'd use it up at some point before it went bad, and I was right!); the crystal malt and Amarillo hops are from Yooper's DFH 60 clone; the Cascade were going to be for a brown ale, but at the last minute I changed my mind and decided to use only Fuggles; the US-05 I just kinda have on hand in case need it; and lastly, the Cara-Pils is not actually leftovers -- I had already put this recipe together and thought it would benefit from either more crystal or some Cara-Pils, and then I just happened to be at the LHBS for a totally different reason and decided to grab a bag of Cara-Pils. I have to do a full-boil in order to get enough hops utilization, but according to Beersmith I should be alright.
 
Hopefully brewing a recipe of my own Saturday and again on Sunday for my uncle. He brought me a few kegs and loads of base malt. crystal malts and yeast today so its the least I can do.


7.4 gal batch
9.5 lbs. Pilsner Malt
2.2 lbs. Munich Light
1.32 lbs. CaraPils
0.22 Malted Rye

90 min boil

3.2 oz Hersbrucker 3.2% for 60 min.
and possibly 1/2 oz Saaz for 10 min.

Dortmunder Export Ale is kind of what I am going for.
Would have liked to have some Tetnanger hop for it

Ended up brewing my light Pilsner as well, its gonna be a long brewing day today with a BBQ with friends during the boil, lets hope I don´t burn the meat :D
 
This weekend it is an all Brett B Brown.
10lbs Pale Malt
8oz Aromatic
8oz Special B
1.5oz Willamette

I just checked the Brett B starter, it formed a pellicle. It looks awesome and terrifying at the same time.
