Mocha Cappuccino protein after a workout. Back to Illinois Spring water in a moment.

Flat porter, have about a quart that wouldn't fit in the bottling bucket. Hope it's ok in there with the priming sugar overnight. Beer was cold crashed and it's in the fridge, so I'm guessing it will be fine. Needed the yeast and carboy for today's brew. Doing too many things at once and didn't sanitize bottles first, so now I'll have to use bottling wand in the autosiphon, I guess and don't feel like messing with it when I have to be up at 5. From the krausen that formed about 15 minutes after I moved the wort over , I'm guessing I over pitched a little. T-58 mixed with third gen ECY-02. Don't think I'll go a fourth. This will make 7 batches of sours that won't be ready for at least another year.
 
You do some serious brewing my friend. Ill take one of each when they are ready. ;)

The porter-ish beer will be ready in a week or two. The one I brewed today should be ready by xmas next year...or at least ready to blend. I bottled a farmhouse esb last night that should be killer. When I moved it to the 'warm room' aka bedroom closet, I realized I have 4 batches in there. I used to have a drinking problem. Now I have a hobby. :drunk:
 
So much for not bottling tonight. Was about to go to sleep when I remembered I had left some dough out that needed to go in the fridge. Beer wasn't too happy in the bucket. Blowoff for the new beer was too small. Much better caught tonight than in the am.

More flat porter! Not bad for being brewed a week ago.
 
This is my first experience with Port Brewing and I've got to say I am well pleased. Dank resinous hops in the nose balanced by malty sweetness. Aroma translates well into the flavor with a nice balance of malty sweetness and hop flavor up front. Medium-full body with a caramel sweetness. Strong bitterness, semi-harsh, but works well for the level of maltiness. Finishes semi-sweet with a very prominent bitterness. Very nice double red.

Don't you love sitting down to a growler in a night? Have a couple other beers in between and you got yourself a nice little evening.:rockin:

Not gonna lie... Pretty glad I don't work til 11 tomorrow. Which with commute means I have to get up at 9. So yeah, thank god for small miracles.

I like their stuff too - High Tide and Wipeout are very respectable IPAs. And Old Viscosity (or Older Viscosity) is a different beer I think you'd enjoy.
 
More simcoe/amarillo IPA. gonna sleep good tonight. Better stop here since I gotta be up at 5am. Helps the pain from this gash though
